If you're not going to send a card you can plant, the next best thing is to pick up a set of Spring Trees Cards ($20) by Norwegian illustrator Bjorn Rune Lie. The eight unique stylized trees letterpress printed on recycled cardstock can be sent to an octet of your favorite pals, or framed and hung in your home. There's a Charlie Brown quality to some of these trees that gives off a childish charm. But a gander at Lie's portfolio will reveal a maturity that surpasses even that highly sophisticated, pathos-ridden cartoon series.
