Bendy friends

Once in a while, many of us love to receive some cheesy-looking and colorful postcards.

Our friends from Australia have made a fun and interesting set of new postcards called Bendy Friends. These postcards are not your regular postcards. They are colorful, thicker, shiny, and obviously bendy!

Bendy friends According to the Bendy Friends’ official website, these flexible postcards are made to be durable. You do not need to put them in an envelope nor worry too much about them being lost in the mail. They are extremely noticeable with their colorful designs. Moreover, Bendy Friends postcards are made from strong, flexible, and colorful foam.

You can choose your own Bendy Friends character from a wide variety of choices—from Disney’s most-loved cartoon characters to Australia’s adorable endemic animals.

The Bendy Friends can also end up on your recipient’s fridge. The makers attached a small magnet on the back of each Bendy Friends postcard for easy fridge attachment.

If you’d like to check out their whole inventory, simply visit their website.

You can also order your very own Bendy Friends postcards from the site. They ship everywhere! Just download the order form and either mail, fax, or email it to them.

Many people are saying that these postcards are made for children. Sure, why not? However, the Bendy Friends postcards cater to everyone who like durable, bendy, and colorful postcards—both children and the child-at-heart.

Fun idea for kids. I wonder how bendy friend postcards would get through the postcard machine without getting torn?

In the US, we would have to pay an additional 20¢ "non-machinable" fee for postage and the cards would get a hand-cancel. Cool designs...love the animal ones at the site.

In France we can send any object if it's regularly stamped and addressed... even bottles with a message ! ^^ Just an example : http://www.bouquets-objets.com/fleurs_et_objets_en_bouquet/bouteille_a_la_poste.shtml?PHPSESSID=2dlu8ih7ph59ubiebpm3slnn00#

Yes, in Germany it would be very expensive to send them, I guess! Even square cards are problematic :(
But the cards are really cute! I especially like the Opera House and the wombat (shown on the website)!

Wow, what cool cards! I love the Bendy Friends and I'm sure my toddler would love them too. I think I might add them to my wishlist. ;-)
