The Touch of Love

There are no two ways about it– we human beings need to be touched. Being held by your significant other at the end of a long day can be exactly what the doctor ordered. Science suggests that a friendly handshake, a warm embrace or even a gentle pat on the back can express gratitude, reduce stress and increase positivity and self-esteem. Further studies tell us that children who are held and touched from an early age have improved cognitive skills while senior citizens who receive therapeutic touching are less likely to exhibit agitated behaviors. Pets, friends and couples can all reap the positive benefits of touching. But what can you do when you’re not around to touch the person you love the most? Send a card, of course!

 Our card, The Touch of Love (pictured here) is the ideal card to send your guy or gal if you’re not in town, swamped at work or just planning a romantic rendezvous for later. Available with either a female or male couple, The Touch of Love features sensual and unforgettable black and white photographs of a couples embracing. Inside the card is a quote from the inimitable Greek philosopher Plato. “At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet,” Plato says. If you’re person of few words, Plato’s words should help seal the deal for touching in the near future. If, however, you would like to add some poetic thoughts of your own, there’s plenty of room on the inside of the card to do just that.
