Deliciously snarky notecards by Wry & Ginger

Sometimes you want a nice, pretty card that gets the waterworks going.

And sometimes you just want to get your snark on.

At Wry & Ginger, there's a card for that. In fact, there are lots of cards for that.

Want to tell a stranger he parked like a donkey? Done. Give your friends dating tips? Or tell your coworker thanks for screwing you over on last week's project? Done and done. But just a word of caution- when slipping your boss a card telling her you like her new dress, you might just want to sign "your secret admirer" and leave it at that. If, you know, you like your job and stuff.


1 - Thank you from the bottom of your hard nugget of a heart
2 - Bad Parking Notes
3 - Dating Tips - how to tell if you are having drinks with a sociopath
4 - ZING POW - beauty of the backhanded compliment
