Each tri-fold Masquerade card holds a themed mask inside. “Taking faces to fantasy places,” the patent-pending cards feature masks that can be torn from a perforation and worn with an included elastic string. The series of 36 Happy Birthday designs includes princess, firefighter dog, pirate and unicorn masks. “Masquerade is truly unique in the marketplace as a birthday card and toy mask all in one, making fantasy play only a moment away!” Art Director Catie Pearson of Pinx told TDmonthly. Launch date: February 2007.

The Pinx line includes birthday and greeting cards with whimsical watercolor designs. This company is no longer in business.

Customers can wrap their gifts in style, when topping them off with these adorable foldover gift enclosures. Styles include pirates, puppies and pink elephants. They’re printed on recycled paper. A dozen come in a pack. They're new for 2006.
