Christmas is very nearly here. In fact, it is so close we had our first mince pies of the season in September, and they were delicious. We have been excited to see the start of early Christmas orders coming in, with plenty of customers loving our new 2024 designs! And this time of year, it’s great to send cards to family and friends, the perfect way to keep in touch or maybe reconnect with someone. And so we want to remind everyone about or shipping rates, policies and the best value way to send your cards on to their recipients....

This August Bank Holiday weekend just gone the Greeting Card Association took part in their third Pride event. The association, founded in 1919, supports and promotes the industry and wants everyone to feel connected by the sending and receiving of greeting cards. As a gay own business Dean Morris Cards have published LGBTQ+ cards since we started back in 1999 (yes this year is our own Golden 25th Anniversary). In that time, we have been so excited and proud to see new companies join the industry and the ranges and diversity of cards offered grow. As publishers we are passionate about...

Today, 8th August 2024, is known as International Cat Day! It was started in 2002 by the International Fund for Animal Welfare, and since 2020 has been looked after by International Cat Care here in the UK. And because pets are one of the family for many we have a range of Cat related cards and gifts. You can also filter any collection on the site by selecting Cat in the relation menu - yes we have plenty of pussies in our Christmas cards too. Cats help many people to help reduce anxiety and stress amongst and often bring  much...

Remember, mum didn't suddenly lose her sense of humour because she's reached her 70th birthday.

With that in mind, here are a selection of 70th birthday cards we think your mum will love and  that will let you say 'happy 70th birthday mother' but also make her laugh at the same time.  Scroll down the page, or use these handy jump links to get you there quickly!

Some mornings the temptation not to start work is strong. Today was one of those days - a Tuesday that feels like a Monday!, so lying in bed doom-scrolling on the Insta a suggested reel pops up. And it really made me laugh out loud. It is a clip from a Esther Manito's stand up show Crusade that is currently available on UK TV Play. It's all about how her husband and his parents sign their greeting cards, reading it won't do it justice so watch the clip to find out.   View this post on Instagram A post shared...

We love Christmas! And two things we love about Christmas are sending cards and getting the family together for lunch! Everyone has their own way of spending Christmas Day, which was actually a part of one of my all time favourite adverts. There is a little scene in here that really does remind me of my mum on Christmas day. So much pressure put on us to have this "perfect" Christmas. And part of that is spending too much on the food, or there will be so many TV chef's telling you how to do your lunch. Which lets face it...

One of the pleasures of Christmas is the sending and receiving of hand written cards. They connect you to family and friends, and in a time of Tik Tok's, Instagram's and Facebook posts it is the perfect way to reach out to someone. There are usually two things that put people off sending cards - the cost of posting them, and the time taken to write them. Send Early, Send Second Class The cost of a First Class stamp has rocketed in the past year, but the cost of second Class has remained unchanged in the last price increase. So this year...

As a greeting card publisher, we understand the profound impact that a simple card can have on someone's day. That's why we're excited to share with you the wonderful occasion known as "Thinking of You Week." It's a time to celebrate the power of connection, emotions, and connections we have to friends and family. A greeting card from a friend or loved one can be very powerful, it can have much more meaning then many think. A few weeks ago, we saw a post on Reddit that reminds us cards don't have to be fancy or expensive, they can be...

Holidays are coming, holidays are coming … We may not be the Coca-Cola advert, but with Christmas just around the corner and we are already starting to pick cards with Santa on for orders. There is good news and there is bad news for sending cards to friends and family this year! Good news is that there aren’t any Royal Mail strikes planned this year. We lost track of how many orders and cards got lost in the postal system last year. So hopefully your cards will be delivered quickly and promptly this year. But as always, we suggest getting...
