Cheap greeting cards UK: good cards, honest prices

Cheap greeting cards usually mean one of two things: a thin supermarket multipack of robins, or a card that looked reasonable until postage and upgrades doubled it at the checkout. Neither is much fun to hand over.

Our approach is simpler. One flat price per card, printed in the UK on quality stock, with original designs drawn in house. Buy one or buy fifteen — they all come in a single delivery, which is where the real saving sits.

If you're stocking up rather than buying for one occasion, this is the cheapest way to do it: pick up the birthdays, the thank yous and the Christmas cards in one go and keep them in a drawer for the year.

How to actually spend less on cards

• Buy several at once — one delivery instead of one per card is the biggest single saving. Shop this card
• Stock up on the predictable birthdays in advance rather than dashing out the day before. Shop this card
• Buy Christmas cards over the Black Friday weekend, when they hit their lowest price of the year. Shop this card
• Pair a card with a candle or badge instead of a separate gift order. Shop this card
• Skip the photo upload upgrades you'll never look at again. Shop this card

Cheap shouldn't mean cheap-looking

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy cheap greeting cards in the UK?

Independent studios that print in the UK and price flat, like ours, usually work out cheaper than personalised sites once postage and upgrades are counted — and cheaper per card than a high street shop.

Is it cheaper to buy greeting cards in bulk?

Yes, mostly because of postage. Mixing several designs into one order means one delivery charge rather than one per card, so a stack of cards costs far less than the same cards bought separately.

Are cheap cards lower quality?

They don't have to be. Ours are printed in the UK on quality card stock with a kraft envelope — the saving comes from cutting out the upsells and the middlemen, not the paper.

When are cards at their cheapest?

Black Friday weekend through to Cyber Monday, when Christmas cards in particular hit their best price of the year. Our Black Friday page has a countdown to the date.

Do you charge extra for postage on each card?

No. Everything in one order ships together in a single delivery, including cards, candles and badges.
