I barely ever write checks anymore, but sometimes you've got to use them. *eyes Costco* And the checks I bought probably 8 years ago are finally coming to an end.

This is very very tempting.

These are nice. Mickey Mouse, but a bit less cartoony.

TIKI CHECKS!

HA! Iron Man checks!

Clearly this is going to take a while.

*Iron Man sensors go off*

...holy crap.
That's... that's amazingly geekily awesome. :D I think I want the labels...

BAH! Those are awesome. :P

I think I would probably use checks all the time if they had Doctor Who ones. It would just take my obsession to a whole new level. :D

I might be betraying my studentness here, but I think you should get whatever is cheapest! XD

The Muppets ones are cute. xD

I miss the Muppet Show. I have Bloom County checks... with Opus and everything.

I vote for the Tiki ones and would totally buy them if I still had checks anymore. (I have become a fully debit-card based animal.)

Man, now I'm kind of bummed I've shifted to paperless bill paying.

I say if you want more silly, go for the Muppets, but if you want your checks to reflect how srs and responsible you are, go with Mickey Mouse. :P

You can get MUPPET checks??? BUY THOOOOOSE ONES!!!!

I vote Muppets!

Though the Mickey Mouse ones are kind of lovely.

And you guys spell cheques wrong. So cute!

LOL, those are fun. The Tiki checks were awesome!

You might want to check with your bank, though, and make sure they don't include free checks with your account. I didn't think anyone did that anymore, but I recently found out that I'm eligible to receive a free book of checks every year because I qualify for whatever level of checking need to get it. (Get paychecks direct deposited, maintain whatever balance, etc.) Of course, they didn't *tell* me this, and I only found out *after* I ordered a gazillion checks from one of those discount places so ... yeah. I'll know next time, though.

Also, depending on who you write checks to, you might want to consider whether you'd be embarrassed to give them one with Disney or whatever. This isn't usually an issue, when you pay bills to anonymous companies, but I had a friend who once had to write a a personal check in a professional setting, and was really embarrassed that her cutsey checks were totally *not* professional, LOL.

Beyond that, I say go with whatever is cheapest. (Though those Tiki ones were uber cool, LOL.)

I think you've gotta go for the Iron Man checks.

QUESTION FROM THE BANKER IN THE AUDIENCE!

(ok that's giving myself too much credit... I'm just a teller, but still)

Where do you bank? I work for US Bank and we have some pretty sweet checks from Delux. There are three really nice Disney styles.

You can see them if you go to https://www.deluxe-check-order.com/ProductCatalog.jsp and in the first little drop down box, it's Disney Film Magic, Disney Hugs & Kisses, and Mickey & Pals.

I have the Disney Hugs & Kisses set, and it makes writing checks SO worth it. Everyone is like ZOMG SO CUTE!

Now I don't know if you can order your own on Delux, but I know other institutions and not just US Bank uses Delux. But otherwise I do highly approve of your choices :D

I... huh? You have to buy cheques?! (And that's completely ignoring the whole concept of designs on cheques because my brain can only handle so much weirdness at the one time...)

Here in the UK every current (checking?) account comes with a chequebook. (There may be exceptions, but they will be specialised/non-standard in some respect.) A personal account holder gets a book of 25 and a business account holder gets a book of 50 (I think). And the bank automatically sends you a new one when you use the 4th or 5th last cheque in the book.

[However, there's a lot of places won't accept cheques now, and most people pay by credit or debit card, so cheques don't get a lot of usage.]

*is still utterly bewildered by the concept of having to buy cheques, and getting designs on them*

[Love the Mickey Mouse and Tiki cheques tho. *g*]

This is my exact reaction.. Huh?!?!

HEE.

I wish we had things like that over here (if we do, they're not common). Then there might be DALEK ones. But ALAS. My cheques are just plain and boring.

Get Iron Man!!!! How is there even a debate here?

Where are the D/R checks?

Man, I'm such a Luddite. I still write checks to pay my credit cards off every month. I know! Insanity. ;) But because of that, I always pay a little more to get pretty checks. I've had these and these (big surprise there *g*) and currently have these. I usually go with the cutest checks I can get for the cheapest price. Hee. I've always loved those Muppets checks, btw.

I have a link saved for when mine finally run out for these awesome little goth chic checks...as opposed to my very girly shopping checks I have currently.
