Happy Halloween!

HURRY UP! OUR BREAKFAST RAP AND WRAP AT FAO SCHWARZ IS NEXT THURSDAY… RSVP NOW AT www.executivemoms.com!

Holiday Cards. That annual rite of good will and social grace that is probably quite low down on your To Do List right now. Yet with Chanukkah on top of Thanksgiving, and Christmas sooner than you’d think, there’s no time like the present. To help, we’ve uncovered a couple of great, lesser-known solutions that are fast, less expensive, and easier than ever.

If you’re partial to photo insert cards, we like the convenience (and the discounts) of EXCELLENT PAPER PLACE

Browse their range of selections via their website (or sit down for a personal look-through if you have the time and inclination). Choose plain or personalized, then pick your preference for ordering: fax, email, phone or in-person, and cards will be on your doorstep in 4-7 business days. (That leaves plenty of time to make a project of sticking in copies of that idyllic family portrait).

Here’s our favorite part about Excellent Paper: they’ll knock 20% OFF all list prices… plus, tell them you’re an Executive Mom, and SHIPPING is FREE!

Up to 20% OFF and Free Shipping at www.excellentpaper.com

Feeling the need to ensure your wishes are unique? We suggest IRA’S PERIPHERAL VISIONS

When standard card offerings just won’t do, this place can create an illustrated or photographic card that meets your own particular vision. (Last year they did one of a customer’s new house– retouching the trees and adding snow to turn their summer shot into a perfect winter scene). Don’t want to exert that level of creativity, but still intent on looking original? Check out their selections of New York scenes, some of the most interesting we’ve come across.

Order on-line or by phone; orders should be received within 10 business days. And again– being an Executive Mom has its privileges– tell them you’re one and get 10% OFF your order.

10% OFF at www.irasperipheralvisions.com

Just want a Good Old Photo Postcard? Try one of the on-line big guns like OFOTO

Essentially the on-line mass merchandisers of photo developing and holiday cards, (Ofoto is owned by Kodak), they offer the fastest and most affordable way to fill mailboxes with your Holiday hellos, at less than $1.00 a card.

Their icing on the gingerbread cake? Only for us, spend $10.00 or more on a standard card order at Ofoto.com and get 15% OFF your order. (Enter the code EXECMOM at checkout; expires 12-31-02).

15% Off Your $10 Order at www.ofoto.com
