These apps are perfect for travelers, who can take their "look where I am" snapshots and create their own personalized postcard, which can be emailed independently of stamps or even the post office.

It allows users to include greeting text as well as colorful themes. There is also the SodaSnap app, which turns any photo on an iPhone or iPod Touch into an electronic postcard that can be shared with friends.

Postcard Express's features work on iPhones running OS 3.0 and late operating systems. Whichever apps one chooses, these options will definitely help in avoiding the card shops and lines and allow for a little more creativity during these festive months.
