If you can’t give a scare in person, you can send a 3-D art Halloween card from Lovepop. Much more than a card, when these are opened you get a stunning pop up witch or Halloween bear that is as much art as it is a card. If you don’t want to go to the post office or you are out of stamps, Lovepop allows you to order online. They can handwrite a message in your card and mail it directly, so you can send a personalized card from your phone in about a minute.
