Gifts and Cards -
At least a dozen Pop-Up cards. In fact, the gift & card section is so big that
they have several sub-categories. Most of the Craft Cards are Pop-Up cards. The
Greeting Card and Mini Card sections are huge! There are well over 700 different
printable one page cards. This is all in addition to the Stationary and Photo
Cards. In the Gift Items section there is a vase full of flowers, bouquets, even
cacti (more than one cactus) not to mention photo frames and gift boxes. Speaking
of Photo Frames, there is a photo frame that closes up to look like a little house!
