Self Care Reminder Card: Five Little Reminders

Self Care Reminder Card shows LITTLE REMINDERS in bold, multicolored capital letters, followed by five kind lines, and each line reads like a note from someone who wants you to go easier on yourself. You get a gentle nudge to rest, not a lecture to push harder.

Ships with a kraft envelope; envelope color in photo may vary.

The print at a glance

The headline LITTLE REMINDERS runs across the top in capital letters, with each letter in a different soft shade of coral, sage, blue, green, black and dusty pink. Below it sit five lines, each beside a tiny heart in one of those same shades. The first line says You are enough, and the second says It's ok to have bad days. The third line, Don't believe everything you think, is set over two lines of text, while the last two say You are so very loved and Be kinder to yourself. The text is set in a clean, plain sans-serif type that stays easy to read at a glance. The hearts are small and steady, so the eye moves down the list in order. Nothing on the front is crowded, and the white space around the lines gives each one room to land. The overall picture is calm and bright, with the colors doing the work that decoration would otherwise do.

Who it is for

This card suits people who are carrying a lot and rarely say so, such as a friend going through a long stretch of stress or a coworker who never takes a day off. You will notice it fits the quiet ones who tend to apologize for being tired. When someone you care about keeps saying they are behind on everything, these five lines give them something to hold on to. It also works for someone who is simply hard on themselves, the kind who replays a small mistake for days. The card is short enough to read over coffee and clear enough to keep on a desk, where the reminder can show up again on a tough morning.

Occasions to use it

Give this Self Care Reminder Card after a hard week, a breakup, a layoff or a family illness, when a long message would feel like too much. It is also a good pick for a birthday or a thank-you for someone who has been there for you, since the words speak to who they are and not just what they did. Tuck it into a care package or leave it on a pillow for a friend who needs rest. Because it is a simple greeting card, it can slip into a bag or an envelope without any fuss.
