Decorative and Anti-Microbial Combined Greeting Card, Fan, and Candle Extinguisher

Abstract

A combined decorative anti-microbial hand held fan, greeting card, keepsake, and fire retardant candle extinguisher and associated decorative envelope that can be used to help celebrate festive occasions. The fan contains decorative printing and text boxes on which congratulatory messages, date/time/place of the festive occasion, as well as a listing of guests and presents can be written. Anti-microbial copper/alloys are incorporated into the major edges, the handgrip area, and flakes on both sides of the device. In the preferred mode, the fan can be folded along pre-set seams to form a configuration that allows the celebrant to extinguish celebratory candles from the draft created by moving the folded fan quickly in the proximity of the top of the lit candles.
