Using iPad or Mac, customers can choose from festive shapes, colorful stickers, and backgrounds. They can customize their cards even further with photos, videos, and a heartfelt message. Everyone can explore the work by the artists and create their own holiday cards at apple.com/us/shop/gifts.

Apple also announced The Grove store in LA will open on November 19. The store has been relocated after serving more than 27 million visitors since it opened in 2002.
