Birthdays are an occasion for serious celebrations, but how many times have you found yourself staring at a blank card, and the only thing that comes to mind is the classic "Live long and prosper"? At "Karticharnitsa" (Card Shop), we believe this special day deserves much more than clichés. Here are 50 fresh ideas that will both make the birthday person laugh and give them something truly memorable:
