Thinking of you week
‘Thinking of you week’ runs from the 24th to the 30th of September 2018, an occasion intended to create a wave of love and happiness through the act of card sending. The event is now in its 5th year, due to the immense success of previous years, as the nation comes together to connect and inspire one another via the greeting card industry. Our 21st century society is saturated with modern communicative strategies, such as social media, email and smartphones. However, research shows that receiving a card can have a genuinely positive impact on people. Cognitive neuroscientist Dr Lynda Shaw believes that receiving cards helps to increase self-esteem and avoid feelings of loneliness and isolation. Amazingly, Dr Shaw also trusts that receiving thoughtful cards can help to ward off early stages of depression. We believe that sending a card is also extremely gratifying, which is why Love Kate’s are keen to embrace the #SendACardDeliverASmile movement.
Kate has taken part in ‘Thinking Of You Week’ since it began five years ago, a week in her calendar that she always looks forward to. Kate says “I love to surprise people with an unexpected card. My daughters used to love receiving something special in the post at University when they were missing me!”. There are no specific rules involved in ‘Thinking Of You Week’ other than sending a thoughtful card to another person. You could send one to a special family member, an old friend, or even someone you don’t know. You could just be wanting to say hello, say sorry, congratulate someone, tell a joke, or just say… thinking of you!
