Our Top 5 Personalised Christmas Cards

With the winter season almost upon us, it’s time to start gearing up for our lovely tradition of sending Christmas cards. We now send around a billion Christmas cards per year in the UK! So here is a breakdown of our favourite styles of cards to help you find the perfect cards for your loved ones.

Cards are a huge part of gifting in the UK, even more so over the festive period. As a result, we have ensured that our card service provides something for everyone. These cards are also a lovely finishing touch to any gift box and Christmas presents

 

Humour

Christmas should be a time for feeling merry and having a laugh around the people you love. So we’re starting off with humour! Us Brits love a good pun and play on words, so we have designed some cracking greetings cards for you.
If you know someone who’s a bit of a Grinch for Christmas jumpers, our Jumper Time is perfect. Simplistic and to the point, with a lovely illustration of a dazzling jumper.
Another sweet and minimal design is our Pining for You. With two loving Christmas trees, it makes a charming little card to send to a loved one to show you’re thinking of them.

Animals

The next theme we feel definitely deserves a place in the top five is animals. They can help to add so much emotion to a card, as well as humour and (of course) cuteness.
For example, we love our Singing Polar Bear with its sweet smile to increase your merriness and festive red Christmas hat. Clutching its decorated Christmas tree, it makes you excited to decorate your own!
Even greater, this a personalised Christmas card so you can add your own message on the front as well as the inside for a personal touch. 

Our Naughty Dog card also ticks many boxes. Featuring a cute and funny illustration of a cheeky dog getting tangled in the fairy lights, this gorgeous illustration makes a great addition to our Christmas cards.

Simply Beautiful

Continuing with illustration, sometimes simply a beautiful design and typography can make a wonderful greetings card. The festive colours can brighten up any room over Christmas.
Our Lights design involves a gorgeous mix of brightly coloured fairy lights and tinsel on a luscious dark blue night sky.
We also have our Beautiful Baubles, with captivating white details filling the background and every bauble in a different style. Just like the previous designs, it provides excitement with Christmas decorations.

Typography 

Sometimes, it’s the text that can really make great Christmas cards. There are endless designs when it comes to typography and they help push the message of the card. For example, the friendly ‘Ho Ho Ho!’ on our Snowy Trees card brings it to life, you can really imagine the voice of a certain man dressed in red!
In contrast, our Christmas Joy uses text to show a magical snowy scene with Father Christmas and his reindeers flying above the sky. The blue dotted pattern creates a lovely contrast and creates such a beautiful greetings card

Scenery 

The last of our top 5 is scenery. Who doesn’t love receiving an enchanting Christmas scene on a greetings card?
One of our favourites is the Monochrome Christmas design and its attention to detail. The lack of colour creates a timeless scene and reflects the night time story of Father Christmas flying over our homes. The text also helps, with the decorative ‘Bright’ expressing the idea of magical stars and lights.
Another is the adorable illustrations on our Winter Houses scene. The scattering creates an almost abstract village with sweet little snowy houses and trees.
