Cards
Birthday cards can be found at most grocery stores, Bookstores, drug stores and gift shops. You can also make your own cards, but it should be noted that if you make one using free clip art on your computer, the card should be accompanied by a stellar gift (or a crisp $20 bill) so as to offset the appearance that you are a cheapskate.
