Okay, fine. This card pretty much puts to shame any card I have ever sent to anyone for any reason.

Seriously, this is impressive for several reasons, chief among them being the fact that it's an actual thing, not a digital animated piece that can only be viewed on a screen.

From Gizmodo:

Sometimes a simple card with a heartfelt message can have more impact than an expensive gift. But London's Birdbox Studio's holiday card isn't simple. It's actually one of the most impressive and complex pop-up cards you've ever seen.

It doesn't just pop-up, though. This card plays music, it's got a full-on animated flipbook cartoon running in the 3D home's front window, and you'll want to stick around for the ending that really spreads the holiday cheer with an explosive finale. The ball's in your court, Hallmark. Especially if you can make it less than an inch and a half thick.

 

Here's the problem: I can't find anywhere that sells this card. It appears to be a one-off, or prototype. Too bad, lots of us would be ready to buy one. Unless it's over 20 dollars. Then lots of us would be ready to forward the link and be done with it.
