When it comes to birthday’s or special occasions, I love shopping for the perfect card. I have a selection of stores that I know have a varied and good range of cards to look through. I love picking a card that fits the personality of the person receiving it and it also has to be nice looking and good quality.
So I was excited when the new Hallmark Interactive Cards turned up, as I had heard they were not only great quality, lots of fun but also full of personality, exactly what you want on a special occasion. When they arrived I wasn’t disappointed and would definitely say these are some of the coolest cards I have seen in some time.
As the name suggests they are interactive and there is one to suit every person celebrating a birthday. You can see below a selection of 10 of the interactive cards, but to really see how wonderful they are you need to see them in action…….
I put together a short video to show how each of the cards work and how they come to life.
I actually think they are all terrific and can see giving them to people on special birthday’s such as 18th, 21st, 30th etc and I think they are perfect to use when giving a gift card, as they make giving a fairly boring gift card, just a little more exciting! However, if I had to choose a few stand out favourites, I adore the Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo Cinderella card for little girls, The Blowing Out Birthday Candles card where you literally blow out the candles and Hula Girl is just fun! They are unique and something different that people wouldn’t expect in a card.
The cards retail for an average price of $10, so they are on the more expensive end of cards. However I think they are such good cards that the price is justified and I can see a little girl keeping her light up, musical Cinderella card till the battery runs out.
(THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED)

Oh wow. thanks for the video – it’s hard to know what they are like until you see them in “action”. I LOVE the Cinderella card and the dancing one.
Thanks Kylie! So glad you found it helpful and I agree it is so hard to know what cards like these are actually like until you see them working. I tried to make it fairly short, so glad you watched it
What a fantastic giveaway! Such a great quality and trusted brand and product. Fingers are crossed
They are really great quality, I have a feeling the batteries will last a long time
I love giving cards to people and take a lot of effort in choosing one that the reciprient will like. Hallmark cards are designed so beautifully and this is such a lovely selection, one winner will be very organised for the year ahead!
They really will be organised with the card in the prize pack, just head to the cupboard for your own private shopping trip!
I love physical cards and I sent my mum a cheer up card last week as she was feeling down. I like the fact that time and effort go into picking a card for the right person and occasion and can’t stand “cyber cards” or “e-cards”.
An electronic card lacks that personal touch and sending a physical card actual takes thought as you have to remember it is such and such’s birthday next week and allow for time to post it etc.
I also love receiving physical cards as well although they are few and far between these days. I hope they don’t disappear all together!!!! I will continue on my campaign to keep the card alive!!!! The Hula Girl is absolutely hilarious!!

That is so wonderful Rachel, your Mum would have loved that. Getting something special in the mail, especially when it is unexpected, is the best! She is such a cool little Hula girl!
Hallmark cards have always been my favourite, they always have the perfect thing written inside and help make every occasion special!
They are great when you are stuck for what to say, heavens knows I have had my share of mind blanks when it comes to writing cards!
These cards are awesome! I can think of so many people who’d enjoy getting one of these
I think they are going to be popular and I can see lots of people thinking they were the best cards they got
Hallmark cards really are something special… Their interactive range is such a clever idea!
Totally love the Cinderella card, perfect for my little girls.
They would love it! My girls love the music (as do I
)
Always great to have some cards on hand – and especially some man-friendly options (mine are always too girly).
I know what you mean about he man option, there are not enough out there to choose from but there are some really good ones in this range I think.
Wow Hallmark are just getting too clever now!
They definitely put their thinking cap on for these!
I love how interactive these cards are, my kids would love them !!
They really would Megan, they are seriously fun!
My dad loves to search for a ‘special card’ for his sister every year! I love that he takes the time to find that perfectly funny one. The interactive bear hug one would be perfect!
I love the bear hug too, imagine getting one in the mail. Getting a great big bear bug would be so so wonderful.
I love the” birthday candles” card, from first birthdays to 100 birthdays , candles are a requirement
I agree, perfect for every birthday. I love you can blow them out, so smart!
My kiddies and I had lots of giggles watching the video!! We would love giving these gorgeous Hallmark cards away instead of the cheap $1 cards:)
They are seriously cool and funny. My girls love opening and closing them, lol.
The Bear Hug Card is funny – nearly a gift in itself
I agree Sarah, it is a like a mini gift on its own
These cards will make birthdays even more fun!!!!Thanks Hallmark for such amazing array of interactive birthdaty cards!
They are so fun Wendy! Thanks for your comment
Love them!! The video was perfect for really showing what they “do”. Thanks!
Thanks Maree, glad it was helpful and glad you love them
I think peole should get back to sending more cards, it’s such a great feeling to receive slow mail these days!
Snail mail can definitely have it perks, and getting a fab card is one of them!
My favourite card is the one that says ‘the world is a little brighter today because it is your birthday’.
It is such a nice card Sheree, I agree
My daughter would love the princess card
She would for sure, it is an amazing card for little girls
very imaginative cards…I can think of a recipient for every card! smiles
They are such fun!
I have truly being inspired and up held by receiving physical cards in the mail after being diagnosed with Breast cancer. The sending of cards by snail mail is a lost tradition and I’m going to start doing it again for any and every reason to all my friends and family. This is a great prize.
You are so right Trish, there really is nothing better then getting a card in the mail, especially unexpected. Brings such a smile to someones face!

These cards are awesome fun and suitable for everyone.
They are great fun Chris, perfect for girls and guys
I never seem to have the right words when it comes to writing a card – gotta love Hallmark for taking care of that – plus I love the ones that are a little quirky or funny – these look great
They are cute! and I know what you mean about writing a card, I sit for ages trying to decide what to write!
I love hallmark cards, there is always a card for that perfect day or moment

They would definitely make someone smile!
The cards in the video are all lovely
Aww thanks Melissa, glad the video worked so well, it has inspired me to make a video of things like this
I really liked the first one “Party your Grass Off”…. In fact, I’m still chuckling.
hehe, I love her spinning wildly! Glad you thought it was funny too
Wow they are all great. It was so hard to choose
I think it is the hardest part!
Love these cards!! Great to bring a smile on a friend’s face!
They are real funny, I think anyone would have a hard time not smiling!
he he! Love these cards! Check out Tweety…Awww
So cute!
Lots of fun cards here that people would love to receive!
They are a crack up!
you’re right – a perfect idea for gift cards or money gifts!
It is nice to be able to jazz a gift card up! Although they are fabulous gift, they can be a little boring looking!
In this digital age the simple gesture of posting a card has almost been lost but with these new interactive cards the novelty of receiving a birthday ‘surprise’ in the mail can now be rediscovered!
They are just wonderful for that birthday surprise, especially when people don’t know what to expect when they open the card!
Great cards…any one of these would sure beat an email card any day for novelty and the personal touch.
exactly
I love theses cards there is something for everyone.
There is something for little ones to big ones
We have a lot of birthdays this month so they are getting a work out!
they look like fun!
Love these cards – different from the norm.
They are very fun, our GrandFather got one for Father’s Day and he loved it.
cute cards <3
they are adorable
So many cool cards to choose from!
It is the hardest part, choosing!
I once banned all card sending. Just a waste of cardboard and postage. Boy, did I hear about this decision – and still do. I found out that people love their cards, adore them, put great stock in them. A birthday or Christmas without cards is horrible. It’s lovely that Hallmark are finding new twists on the old favourites. And it’s terrific you’re offering them as a prize.
I know what you mean Lisa. I think of that too when I send cards and have resisted in the past buying some but usually can’t resist for too long. I figure as long as they are recycled then they continue their life.
The cards are unique and each brings alot of laughs,I love them haha
They are unique, it is nice to think that when someone gets on they haven’t seen it before
Wow! Great products. They look so much fun!
They really make people have giggle, I think they are really good for that special occasion
Awesome cards
they look like a lot of fun and make it a little more personal for say a wedding when your only giving money at leat the card stands out
Exactly what I think, makes that gift card a little bit more exciting!
These are Seriously CUTE!
Very cute
awesome comp, beautiful cards
They are very pretty and it is the icing on the cake that they come alive!
Cards are a great keepsake. I’ve kept all my girls birthday cards and my mother’s day cards, birthday cards, anniversary etc. It’s good to look back on them years later and smile and remember each special occasion.
They do have really special moments attached to them and they make me smile too, it is a nice way to remember all the fun times
These cards look great!
They are very fun!
I am getting that hula card!!!!! Its so perfect for a freind going to Hawaii
ooo yes! how fun!!
I love tweety bird, you don’t see him much these days!
No you are right! You don’t see his cute little face much. There should be a tweety revival!
Hallmark cards are always my choice!
They are a great collection
I soooo love these cards! All very unique and different for that special person, I too have kept all my cards for as long as I can remember!
It is so nice to keep cards, I keep a fair amount of them. It makes the memories even better
Love the Forever Friends Bears! They are so cute and sweet!
They are cute! You just want to cuddle them!
they’re all great but love the Cinderella one for little girls
It is the best card for girls, really magical!
I love to go to the extra effort of finding just the right card and now Hallmark have come up with some fantastic new one. Love them!!
I love when people put the effort in finding a card. My sister is a great card picker and takes a long time to choose
Hallmark cards are the best, they have the perfect card for any occasion.
They do have such a huge range, can always find something
love these cards they rock
They are lots of fun!
Love Hallmark completely <3 I've always wanted to write the blurbs for hallmark….how cool would that be?

I love the Cinderella card for its colourful artwork, and choice of music.
It is so colourful and lively and the music is the icing on the cake!
I love Hallmark Cards, I only ever buy my cards from them online.
I really love the Disney Princess card, I would love to give it to my little girl for her birthday.
She would love it for her birthday! That is great you buy them online, must make it so easy!
Thanks for the review. These cards look awesome. I’m sure my preschooler would love to give the Cinderella one to her daddy for his birthday in a couple of weeks
I bet she would too! I love when they choose cards they like, he would love it!
These cards are awesome… my daughter could love Cinderella… hmmm, birthday coming up..
The Cinderella just comes alive! She would love it I am sure
Such an amazing prize. Would so love to win it.
Good luck in the draw Agnes
These cards are hilarious. The Conga dancer and the crocodile rock one are just soooo funny and I can think of many people who would TOTALLY enjoy that. It would almost be better than the gift itself.
They really are hilarious, they really make the gift memorable!
I like the big birthday bear suprise!!
It is great that one, I love a bear hug!
These cards look fantastic. Great giveaway!
They are great collection, very fun!
Great cards! So often I need a card for a special occasion, it’s great to have a few handy for emergencies and forgetful moments – these would be ideal!

My sister absolutely would love it alot cards hallmark has been around forever and hoping shall be so for future occasions ….love the card with the girl and butterfly as i love butterflies my favourite colour is pink…i’ve always enjoyed making my own cards …the personal touch.
The butterflies is really pretty, your sister would love them!
Hallmark cards are the best there is a card for all occasions
There really is, they have everything covered!
What a lovely idea and great prize, quite a few birthdays coming up in the next few months so would be very handy.
You would have them covered for sure!
With so many Birthdays coming up in our family, this sounds like a fantastic prize.
It would have them all covered for sure!
