I’d Get Sick of Myself Before I’d Get Sick of You walks a fine line between snark and sincerity. A sketchy clenched hand and unruly handwriting push back against cliché sentimentality, revealing something sharper and truer. Equal parts sardonic and sweet, this card is perfect for a close friend or loved one who shares your sense of humor. A wrapped hand makes a fist, defiant and vulnerable at once. An oddly moving compliment: clumsy, human, and true.

From the people who send them
The handwriting doesn't look printed. My mom asked if I'd written it myself. I said yes.
— Blake, LA
Arrived in four days. I'd braced for longer.
— Ian, Chicago
Sent it to a friend I hadn't seen since college. He sent me a photo of it on his side table a week later.
— Dave, Philly
My wife sent it to me on a random Tuesday. No occasion. That was the point.
— Eddie, Tampa
Kept it on my shelf next to my books. Doesn't look out of place. That's the highest compliment I can give a card.
Chelsey, New York
My little brother graduated in May. I live across the country. This was the closest I could get to being there.
— Jared, Chicago
Put one in every welcome bag for a networking event I hosted. Got emails afterward asking how I'd handwritten them all. I told them my secret.
- Carly, Ft. Lauderdale
