Send cards home for the holidays

It's that time of the year when everyone's trying frantically to send out holiday greetings. Online cards are a little bit lame but...who are we kidding...will the Chinese post office really get our postcards to our loved ones on time? ....probably not. Enter kukkle.com to the rescue. This US based online greeting cards company lets users pick out their cute designs, carefully compose some wonderful, heartfelt text (Dear Santa....) and upload that awesome family portrait you took this summer.

What they do is print it out for you in the country of your choice and mail it. Your family and obligations get a card to put on the refrigerator. You don't feel guilty. Easy Peasy. They use Royal Mail's First Class Delivery service, which means delivery within the UK usually only takes 1-3 days (Last Posting Date for UK Dec 20th, and Europe is December 12th).

Rest of World? Requests were due on the 5th, but hey...I bet they're still faster than China Post!
