A REALLY Unusual Christmas Card
An edible Christmas greeting?
Here's a truly unusual holiday "card" - or perhaps "holiday greeting" would be more appropriate, as this isn't really a card in the traditional sense at all. It's a giant personalized rice krispie treat. Yes, an edible Christmas card! You won't have to feel guilty about cutting down trees to send this card, and your recipients won't need to recycle this greeting. They can simply eat it!Gourmet Cookie Bouquets.com says, "This oversized Krispie sheet measures 12.5" x 16" and is covered in sweet white chocolate. Then we imprint the front with edible ink using any image you choose! It's an edible way to send your greetings for Christmas, birthdays, or any other celebratory event!"
Don't like Rice Krispies? Then check out the 2-lb. personalized holiday greeting chocolate bar at Savannah's Candy Kitchen.
Musical Christmas Cards
The cards above may look different from most Christmas cards, but they sound exactly the same. These don't! These cards will play a little holiday tune when you open them.

- My sister is VERY creative. Her cards are always a joy to receive. One year the card was the family with all matching pj's. The letter was informative and fun to read. One year her letter was like a newspaper. Since the family was going all their seperate ways, (college, marriage etc.) what a way to write a NEWSY letter!
