Does anyone else feel that personalised cards are actually impersonal?

I mean the ones that you get through the post like moonpig that are printed rather than handwritten.

I don’t like them, I know it’s daft and someone has taken the time and effort to send a card but it just somehow feels impersonal to me.

The only personalised part I’ve ever had on a moonpig type card is my name in the generic card.

But the message inside says what they want it to say.

If someone sent me a moonpig card, I'd just think they didn't know me well enough to be sending me a card at all.
I get that some people love them, same way as people love cards saying "Happy 73rd birthday, grandma!" but I'd prefer to pick a card myself and write my own message - with a pen.

I do get that they are handy and cheaper though, especially with postage costs these days.

They're not handier and certainly not cheaper.
