Stuck on You

It's birthday party season – then again, it's always birthday party season. This time you're prepared. The closet is stocked with cool kids' gifts, they're all wrapped, and any day now, you plan on having your kids create beautiful handmade cards, right? Right.

Card Stix Collection stick-on greeting cards should be on your list of party must-haves. Started by two mothers who were tired of wasting time and money on costly cards that never stay attached to the gift, they created a collection of stickers (some cute, some cool, some personalize-able) that simply adhere to any gift, bag or basket.

Designs for different ages and occasions include Hanukkah, Christmas and other seasonal holidays, while kids' birthday stickers include themes like trains, Hawaiian shirts, dinosaurs or ladybugs. The collections come in sets of 12 stickers, each with four different styles boys and girls.

Take this as a sign that it's time to stop scrawling your kid's name on the wrapping paper with a Sharpie – so much for planning ahead.
