# Abhorently Humorous Cards Be Careful Who You Give These Novelty Greeting Cards To By Mesel Isaac | Published 2014-01-08 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novelty-greeting-cards References: [ufunk.net](http://www.ufunk.net/insolite/because-i-hate-you-greeting-cards/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:) & [becauseihateyou](http://www.becauseihateyou.com/) These novelty greeting cards are the product from the hilariously warped minds of the people at Becauseihateyou.com. The idea for these “greeting cards that leave a mark” arose out of a small group of friends who were tired of giving each other standard cards with poor art that were printed on cheap materials. To that end, they formed a company that makes hilarious novelty greeting cards with two goals in mind. The first is artwork that is beautiful, emotive and conveys a sense of sarcasm. The second goal is that the cards be printed on the highest quality art paper, which they are. From Christmas, weddings and birthdays, these cards cover a variety of occasions with even more to come. With the cards being incredibly sarcastic, make sure you give them to someone who “gets” your humor. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Novelty Greeting Cards:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore creative and humorous designs for greeting cards, tapping into the demand for unique and personalized options. - **Sarcastic Artwork:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop artwork that combines beauty, emotion, and sarcasm to create a new and distinctive style in the greeting card industry. - **High-quality Materials:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Focus on using premium art paper and materials to elevate the quality and perceived value of greeting cards, catering to customers seeking premium options. ### Who This Affects Most - **Greeting Card Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce novelty cards with sarcastic artwork to disrupt the traditional greeting card market and attract a younger, more humorous demographic. - **Art and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with artists and designers to create a new genre of sarcastic artwork, expanding the application beyond greeting cards to various products and industries. - **E-commerce and Gift Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Establish an online platform to sell and distribute novelty greeting cards directly to customers, providing a convenient and unique shopping experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Quirky eCard Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happiepages.md) - [Convenient Online Greeting Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-tree-cards.md) - [Cheekily Creative Bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks.md) - [Greeting Card Kiosks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greeting-card-kiosk.md) - [Phygital Greeting Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gift-card-greetings.md) - [Fued-Inspired Christmas Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonpig.md) - [Personality-Forward Bookmark Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humdrum-paper.md) - [Personalized Video Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/video-cards.md) - [Ranch-Filled Holiday Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hidden-valley-ranch-holiday-card.md)
