...and get 20 percent off with SOS!
With Christmas quickly approaching, many of you will be fretting over what to buy for your music-loving family and friends. Whatever you choose, whether it's light-up drum sticks or a set of pink guitar stings, you'll need a card to go with it.
Rockcard is an on-line service that lets you customise rock-inspired greetings cards. Using an easy-to-navigate web page, the first step of the service is to choose a picture from a library of photos of musicians — literally from Abba to Zappa.
From there, you submit your text for messages of goodwill (or otherwise) for the front and the inside of the card, and preview your creation. Then, once your happy, you just click 'buy', and complete your billing details. Rockcard can deliver the card either to you, for hand delivery, or to the intended recipient, in a protective envelope. Orders received before 2pm are processed and posted, first class, the same day.
There are three sizes of Rockcard available: a standard A5 card normally costs £3, A4 is £6 and an A3 'poster card' costs £7. However, Rockcard have kindly offered SOS readers a 20 percent discount: just enter the promotional code of 'tryme65' at the payment stage!
Perhaps the best thing about Rockcard is that they give 20 pence from every sale to the Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy charity (www.nordoff-robbins.org.uk), who use music to help those suffering from autism, strokes and severe trauma.
