How do you sign yours?
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...
Thinking of You Week 2023
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...
Get Ready For Christmas Early and Save!
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...
A whole new experience
If you are a new customer of Dean Morris Cards - hello, welcome, it is lovely to have you here. If you are one of our fantastic existing customers you may have noticed we have had some work done! When we opened our first online store back in the dark ages of the Internet in the late 20th Century there wasn't much available in terms of e-commerce software. We used some open-source software called Zen Cart. It was awesome! We stuck with it for years, but now the time has come to update. So we have moved to the Shopify platform...
Adopt A Shop for Christmas
Has anyone else noticed everyone is getting ready for Christmas a little earlier than usual this year? We are – the Christmas trees went up two weekends back. There is no other way to say it – 2020 has been a shit year! One of our most popular Christmas Cards this year seems to have hit the sentiment perfectly looking at how many of you are buying it … Fuck 2020! We have friends and family in all four countries of the UK who have had to go through different lockdowns, tiers and restrictions. And of course, our stockists and...
And for something completely different...
I think it’s something I am reasonably qualified to do, certainly more so than tiling (tried that once, never again) or football. I also believe it’s a part of the greeting card industry that some people within don’t like to acknowledge and yet rightly or wrongly it’s the one aspect of the industry that often generates the most media attention. This was very much in evidence towards the end of January when a less than kind post on Mumsnet about some of my ruder Valentine’s cards made it to a selection of national tabloids. I’m very proud of my place...
