A new service that sends postcards from exotic locations on behalf of holidaymakers is doing well in Germany.
The MayDayCard service enables people to have cards sent to friends or colleagues from exotic places even though they are holidaying somewhere else.
The service collects people's personally written cards and posts them from a variety of expensive holiday destinations, just so they can impress others.
For £8.50 people can have a genuine, stamped postcard from Los Angeles or Mauritius, and for another £5 people can have a card sent from Hawaii.
The scheme was set up by 37-year-old Edith Gailus, who said she never liked writing postcards herself.
A team of 20 people, consisting of pilots, flight attendants and Gailus and her husband, collects the postcards and posts them from the select destinations.
According to Gailus, cards from Hong Kong are especially popular among businessmen.
The MayDayCard service has been selling over 1,500 holiday cards a month since it was launched at the beginning of 2004.
