birthday cards
Celebratory paper notes
Birthday cards are greeting cards given to celebrate someone's birthday, typically containing printed wishes and space for a personal message.
They range from sentimental to humorous, often featuring the recipient's age as a joke: The card made fun of him turning forty.
Giving one is a social expectation that, when forgotten, requires apology.
