In light of new technology where society can go to a website to select a card, personalise it with their own photos, then electronically enter anything they like inside the card, makes for a very nice gesture of appreciation. However, some people, again, may consider it as a laziness over receipt of something hand written.
A general rule to consider; if in doubt, invest in the few seconds it takes to hand write your card. Those few seconds may go a long way in presenting yourself as you wish to be!
