GIFT TIP: Add a beautiful card for a personal touch

Everyone likes to feel special, and a thoughtful gift will certainly make your recipient feel good, but the cherry on top is adding a carefully selected card with a personalised message. You don’t have to be too wordy or sentimental with your message, but a few heart-felt words that resonate with the recipient and demonstrate how much they mean to you are always appreciated. Now is the opportunity to say the things you don’t say everyday, but feel in your heart.

Our range of beautiful Australian made cards is constantly increasing, take a look here.

HANDMADE CARD OF THE WEEK: Spectacular card

This is a really cute card for a guy – especially if he has glasses!


Why we love it:
  • This card has a really “cute” feel about it that celebrates wearing glasses. 
  • This card would be relatively easy to make yourself – plastic glasses such as these are readily available at discount stores (often in the toy/novelty section). Goggly eyes and bow are available at any craft/haberdashery store. 
  • You could print, write or stamp the text. 
  • Have some fun with the border on the card by using patterned paper, ribbons or even a strip of sequins. You could also experiment by using different coloured cards (instead of white). 
  • To create a female version of this card, simply add eye lashes and fuller, coloured lips and/or hair.
