> but there is no way that anyone would not prefer giving (or receiving) a colorful, professionally printed store-bought one. Oh boy, you've got a fun education ahead of you today! See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_capital https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_capital E.g., mom tells a relative I want to make a card on my computer for them, then tells me they'd really like a card made on the computer. Yay, they need my skills to make them a card. I'm not sure symbolic value includes the joy my mom got from being a kind of P.T. Barnum of my card-printing skills (and card folding-- 2 ply IIRC). But there's that, too. Anyway, that Wikipedia article will unlock a lot of cool new areas and skins that you can't get without it.
