I’ve made no secret about the fact that writing Christmas cards is one of my favourite seasonal activities. So I like to get on it quickly. If you’re looking for the perfect card to wrap your warmest wishes in, here’s a selection of my favourites from small maker run businesses so you can feel great about your purchase as well as the card you’re sending.
Okay, so I couldn’t make a list like this without kicking off with my own Christmas collection. Inspired by the warmth of the season and some of my favourite things, these square cards are the perfect way to send your love through the post. They come with matching gift wrap, if you’re all about that coordinated life. Plus right now, if you buy 4 you can get a third for free!
Annie is one of my favourite makers all year round. Her stationery is beautiful, I’ve had so many compliments on the bits of peachy keen collection I sent out. Everything is wonderfully shot and packaged too, so it’s like you get a gift too!
Dorkfeatures AKA Lauren Goodland is just all round wonderful. Her cards are hilarious. If you’re looking to send your Christmas greetings with a little bit of extra sass or sarcasm you have to check out her cards. I wish we were doing a work secret santa this year, so I would have the excuse to startle and amuse a colleague with one.
If beautiful botanical designs are more your jam, then Katrina Sophia is your lady. Her cards this year are super classy. Plus while you’re in her store you can pick up some gorgeous plant based prints, so you can do a bit of a gift present double whammy!
I’ve only recently been introduced to Clover Robin’s work but her collages are stunning. Her cards remind me of picture books I loved as a child in the best way, and who doesn’t want to spread some childlike joy at Christmas?
Any purchase you make from a small business can really make someone’s day, so where you can these holidays shop small!
