It should be no surprise that Christmas is the largest card-sending holiday in the United States.  How big is it, really?  Each year, Americans send approximately 1.6 billion cards and the average is 20-30 cards sent per household.  But, no matter the holiday, it can be a challenge to find just the right image and sentiment to convey your good wishes.

“There is a challenge every year to find that one business greeting card to best represent your company in the holiday or Christmas season. When searching through pages of designs on the Internet and in catalogs, there will be a copious selection of winter scenes, wreaths, ornaments, symbols of peace, and Christmas card designs. How can you pick the right one?”

For useful tips on selecting the right holiday card to represent your company, visit The Gallery Collection.  Or have a little fun and browse architecture and construction themed holiday cards here or here. 

With Christmas rapidly approaching, now is the time to find last minute gifts for the architecture or design enthusiasts in your life. Here to help is the annual ArchDaily Holiday Gift Guide. This year’s selection of industry-inspired gift ideas include geometric jewelry, unique cufflinks, skyline puzzles, a 3D printing pen, and the always fun, Tsumiki Stacking Blocks.
