The lengths you'll go Card shows a cartoon patient swathed in white bandages from head to toe, lying in an old-fashioned hospital bed, and the printed words say that you will go to great lengths for a bit of attention. The joke is a cheeky nudge at anyone who has turned a small injury into a full production, and it lets you wish someone well with a grin. It was made for the friend who loves a dramatic story and the family member who will laugh at their own bandages.
Ships with a kraft envelope; envelope color in photo may vary.
Artwork and lettering
The patient is drawn in fine line work with a head wrapped in bandages that wind around the face and neck. The arm and leg are bound in the same striped gauze, and the figure reclines against a green-cushioned bed with a yellow metal frame and wheels. The bed sits on a pale cream background, which keeps the drawing crisp. Below the illustration, the printed words use a typewriter-style typeface in black, set on two lines, and the exclamation mark at the end gives the line its bright, teasing tone.
Made for this crowd
The people who will notice this card first are those who appreciate vintage illustration and a bit of self-deprecating humor. A friend who has recently had a procedure, a sibling who has broken a wrist or a parent who is recovering at home will likely see the joke right away. The exact phrase on this page fits a card for anyone who has been fussed over and is now enjoying the attention. It is a good match for people who like retro style and dry wit.
Moments it suits
The card works best as a get well message when someone is resting after surgery, an injury or a long illness. It is also a fun choice to bring to a hospital visit or send during a stretch of recovery at home. Pair it with a small gift like a book, a snack or a pack of magazines, and the bandaged patient will look right at home beside the get well wishes.
