You can make your own cards, and calling doesn't require you to buy any cards. I imagine receiving a call is more enjoyable than receiving a card.

Edit:

I don't think OP's comment should be flagged. It is an understandable opinion held by many - even if I disagree with it.

Flagging it hides it and the rebuttals from others who might share the same opinion, in which case they don't see the rebuttals.

How is it mother day isn't that 8 march

March 8 is international women’s day. The most ignored of all holidays by US culture. To an almost hilarious degree. My partner frequently brags that she’s the only of her friends and coworkers, in 10+ years, who has ever gotten flowers for women’s day. Meanwhile even Uber drivers have wished her a happy women’s day in various heavy foreign accents.

November 19 is international men's day. How many times have you gotten flowers on that day? Or Uber drivers wishing you a happy men's day?
