TREAT Dad this Father's Day with a Custom Card *Giveaway*

By Tara.

Item received for review purposes. No financial reimbursement. The following review is my honest opinion.

If you're anything like me, you always forget to stop and buy cards while you're doing groceries and whatnot. By the time you see that little note on your calendar, Mother's Day, Dad's Birthday, it's too late to get to the store and get one in the mail.

I have the perfect solution for you and I dare you to try it this Father's Day.

Treat (www.treat.com) is an online destination where customers can create one-of-a-kind personalized greeting cards in minutes from an iPhone or PC. Treat cards offer a more personal and meaningful alternative to store-bought greeting cards, giving users the power to make any card unique with their own sentiments and photos, and with the Treat Card Club, the more cards you send, the more you will save. Treat also features gift cards, as well as a reminder service that notifies users of important card-sending occasions. For more information, visit www.treat.com.

I had the pleasure of trying this site. Here's what you do:

1. Go to www.treat.com and across the top you see an array of categories to choose from.

2. Choose Father's Day

3. Choose Father, grandfather, brother, like a dad, new dad, son, or husband. 

4. Browse tons of cards till you find one that screams, "This is it!"

5. Click on that card and then click on the blue box that says personalize.

6. Add your own text and your own photos of your dad or loved one. This is pretty easy to figure out. Boxes asking for your data pop up.

7. Click NEXT to view the inside. 

8. Repeat step 6.

9. Click NEXT to view the last page.

10. Add a tiny photo to the back

11. Click DELIVERY to add your sending and recipient address.

12. PAY with credit card

Here is the front of the one I had made and you can see the layout. (Yes, that's a picture of my father and I when I was a baby.)

They ship it to your dad or loved one for you by the day you request. All for less than four bucks. That's actually cheaper than the store, where you'll spend four for the card alone many times and then whatever a stamp is nowadays. ***Actually, if you do a package deal, you can get each card as low as 1.99 each. You buy 18 cards for that deal. 12 cards is 2.24 each. 6 cards is 2.49 each.***

Pros:

--You can make them and set up delivery time months in advance.

--You don't worry about it again.

--You don't have to go to the store, grit your teeth, and battle endless throngs of people and children.

--There are reminders.

--You can personalize it. Let's be honest here, most cards go in the trash and thus, fill up the landfills in outer space or wherever. Who is going to throw away a card with their face on it??? This pretty guarantees your card won't join the landfill.

--Out of stamps...or missing that one-cent stamp to make the stamps you have good? (It seems the price goes up randomly now!) Not a problem. It's all taken care of.

Cons:

--Unless you have it sent to yourself, you don't actually put an ink signature on it and have to settle for digital. Some of the more old-fashioned folks may not dig this.

That being said, it's time to announce a special TREAT for YOU....
