Funny Animal Christmas Cards, Made in the UK
Tails of Britain is our range of funny animal Christmas cards, made in the UK for people who'd like their cards to raise a smile. Every design has a name, a pun and a proper joke: hedgehogs using a welly as a sledge, a lamb conducting the sheep choir, a hen trying to hatch a snowball. And every scene is set somewhere British you'll recognise, from a Cotswold lane to a Cornish harbour and a Highland glen.
Each design comes in a pack of 10 with kraft envelopes for £16.99, or you can mix any 5 of our 25 designs in the pick-your-own pack for £18.99. All cards are 5 × 7 inch gloss, with “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year” inside, printed to order in the UK and posted free to UK addresses. For Christmas, we suggest ordering by 14 December.
British wildlife Christmas cards
Our British wildlife Christmas cards star the animals you might see on a winter walk, or wish you had: hedgehogs, foxes and a robin, otters, red squirrels, grey seal pups and stoats in their white winter coats. Each one is drawn in its real British setting, and we've written a little about the real animal on each design's page. For more, read what hedgehogs, robins and red squirrels really do in winter.
