My mom likes to get a postcard. I just buy her one from an art museum. When she did the math of what the last one that I sent, she was appalled and asked me to just send it or hand deliver it when I come back.
I buy them and other cards to send throughout the year but not on my trip.
The sending of postcards is directly proportionate to the enjoyment of receiving a postcard. For me, not so much. It's like souvenirs, I really don't want a souvenir from someone else's vacation. Unless it's very unique and there is a reason that the person is sure that I would want it.
In other words, I don't want something made in China that says, "Hola from Tijuana."

When I buy gifts for those back home I always buy a postcard from the location where I purchased the gift to attach with the gift. I write a little bit about the area from where I purchased their gift. Along with their gift they now have a beautiful picture to show them exactly where I was when I choose a gift for them.
