Let us help you find the perfect Christmas card this year

Bonfire night is over, the festive lights are being turned on in town centres and the festive adverts are already on the TV. This can only mean one thing: Christmas is coming.

When buying Christmas cards, most people probably head straight for a high street chain for a pack. However, have any of you thought about trying an independent company? They have a great selection and it could mean your card stands out on the mantelpiece.

If you like a traditional looking card, then Tuesday’s Roses is a great company. Its cards are simple but quite classic too. This Cozy Christmas Scene Holiday Card is simple but lovely. 

For a cute Christmas card for children, The Painted Peep Show has a fantastic selection. This Christmas Elf card comes in a set of five, as do most of the other holiday packs it offers.

Personalised gifts are a big thing at the moment and you can make your Christmas cards personal too. At Blackberry Graphics you pick the wording, colour choice, backside colour and a photograph to have on your card. These cards are made truly personal to you.

If you’re into kitsch or vintage, the cards from Chicks ‘n’ Hens will be right up your street. Simple messages, cute quotes and lovely images make these cards perfect for family and friends. They offer custom-made cards which can be adjusted so that they’re suitable for whoever you’re sending them to. 

Dog lovers will want these adorable cards from Illustrated Cards. Who doesn’t love a card with a pug with antlers on it?

Fashionistas may find one of these cards popping through their letterbox this Christmas. Cymraes Christmas cards have a heritage chic feel to them and definitely stand out from the crowd.

There are literally so many Christmas cards out there to choose from. Maybe this year though, buy from an indie label rather than a high street store. It’s worth it. Head over to Etsy to check out the labels mentioned along with many more!
