the check is in the mail

Posted on September 14, 2004 by mariko

Would it surprise you to know that I don’t like plain checks? Bah! So boring! I usually order my checks from Rosencrantz & Gildenstern. I have also ordered some Shag checks. Lately, though, I have been ordering checks from those nasty mass-market check printers that always advertise in the coupon section in the Sunday newspaper (gotta see the latest plush footies or polyester culottes by Blair, after all). Last time I got classic Barbie, and right now we have Curious George. Imagine my excitement, though, when I saw these from Checks in the Mail:

Well, helloooooo, kitty! The only problem is Peter & I have only one checking account, and while I generally hoard the checkbook, sometimes he needs to use it. Going to hardware stores or lumberyards and being forced to write Barbie checks is rather distressing for him. If I order Hello Kitty checks, I think it will push him over the edge (but I might do it anyway. Heh heh).

    Those are too funny! Maybe you can compromise with him and after Hello Kitty order the Dogs Playing Poker or Spiderman.

    a few weeks ago at work, one of my coworkers announced she saw hello kitty checks in a circular. i looked them up and the tale was true! i’m ordering them next week, after i get paid- i need new checks anyway- i moved three months ago and i’m still using checks with my old address!

    That’s one way to tell if a man is in it for life — make him write out Hello Kitty checks! haha Go for it! It’ll be the ultimate test of true love. 🙂

    Another solution — your own account! Think of the damage you could do….

    Actually, I don’t know how I survived without Shag checks. Those are awesome! If I hadn’t just ordered my groovy whimsical checks from CITM, I’d be all over those. Next time.

    Just tell him it could be worse. They do have Strawberry Shortcake checks, after all.

    I have Poker Playing Dogs for my personal checks. We just bought new checks for our joint account and I went with Safety Blue. My husband thought that even National Parks was too foo foo. Of course, I write all the checks, so why should he even have a say?

    Mine are a pastel tropical theme. Ahh…The husband complained a little about it but I told him it could be worse…much worse, but I never thought of using Barbie checks as a bargaining tool.

    Oh wow! THANK YOU THANK YOU for posting where you saw these checks! I’m going to get them ASAP! Hahaha, I think Hello Kitty might be less harsh than the Barbie ones might have been? Hehehe :).
