I went through some trouble getting a copy of the LP with the A Special Memories of Elvis Greeting Card included on the back of the cover. Not that the baby girl would mind particularly if it was missing, but my brother, who like me is a huge Elvis fan, would understand the importance of the card being there.

Well, that's when I remembered that I'd bought an extra copy of the card in question in Tupelo in 2005. When I visited the gift shop next to Elvis birthplace I spotted a stack of, you guessed it, A Special Memories of Elvis Greeting Card selling for $2.00 a piece. As my own card at home was a bit worn I bought one.
So I decided to part with it, and now have only my old worn one. But as I saw my brother's eyes light up as he realised the greeting card was included, I understood it was a small price to pay.
As a final note: Six years ago I bought a CD copy of Elvis Sings For Children And Grownups Too! to my sisters first child. You can read about that and other suitable Elvis presents for children here.
