Cleveland (Sept. 26, 2017) – The caboose of a train. The last person to cross the finish line. The final days of summer vacation. Bringing up the rear usually implies that something is forgotten or unfavorable, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth with American Greetings latest birthday invention! Available now, the Cheeky Wishes™ collection of cards is a bold combination of birthday wishes, quirky humor and dynamic technology that all starts with the tail-end.
It’s time to party your butt off with Cheeky Wishes! This new line of funny cards features hilarious animal characters that really shake their “groove thangs.” With a tug on the tail, each crazy character moves its rump and sings along to a popular song. This collection is guaranteed to fill every day with happiness, laughter and a whole lotta booty-shakin’. Designs in this energetic line of cards include a skunk encouraging you to celebrate by stopping to smell the flowers, a groovy unicorn wishing you a magical birthday, an adorable pig complete with curly tail and a donkey ready to get down “honkey-tonk style.”
“Our digital world has consumers constantly touching the smooth screens of phones and tablets, so our fingers are hungry for texture and dimension,” said Carol Miller, vice president of corporate innovation at American Greetings. “The comical Cheeky Wishes characters simultaneously deliver on sending memorable birthday greetings and providing a tactile element with the material for each animal’s tail mimicking the true feel.”
