How gift list cards keep every birthday on track
Each month gets one birthday card listing the day, the person, the age they will turn, a gift idea and ticks for card and gift. Glance at next month's card and you know exactly what to buy and what to post. Behind it sits a profile for each friend or relative with sizes, favorites, a wish list and past gifts, so you never give the same present twice.
The idea bank catches hints the moment you hear them. A budget and tracker card keeps one occasion within your limit, and the thank-you card shows which notes you still owe. Nothing is dated, so you file the cards once and keep using them every year.
Who these birthday and gift cards are for
- Anyone who tends to remember a birthday one day too late and would love a calm way to plan ahead
- The person in the family who buys for parents, kids, nieces, nephews and grandparents
- Index card fans who would choose a small card box over an app or a heavy planner
- People who still enjoy mailing real birthday cards and writing thank-you notes by hand

Questions
Questions about the gift list cards
What card sizes are included?
Every design comes in exact 4 x 6 in (two per sheet) and 3 x 5 in (three per sheet) index card sizes, printed on US Letter or A4 paper.
Do I need a new set every year?
No. The cards have no dates or years, so you file them once and reuse the birthday cards every year.
Can I print backs on the cards?
Yes. Lined and dot grid backs line up with the fronts when you print two-sided and flip on the long edge.
What paper should I print the cards on?
Sturdy card stock of 200 to 250 gsm (65 to 90 lb) is ideal. Keep the scale at 100%, never fit to page, and trim along the marks with a paper cutter.
