Fox and Robin Christmas Cards, Pack of 10

About the design

Two fox cubs in knitted scarves have curled up in the snow with their bushy tails wrapped round each other, and tucked safely in the middle is a very small robin, out of the wind. It's called A Fur-Ever Friendly Christmas, and it's the gentlest card in the range: the one for people who like their Christmas cards sweet rather than slapstick.

It's set in the beech woods of the Chiltern Hills, where red kites wheel overhead and foxes really do trot along the woodland edges at dusk. In real life the friendship is a little less likely. Fox cubs are born in spring, so by December they'd be nearly grown, and robins are famously feisty: they're one of the few British birds that sing right through the winter, partly to defend their patch from other robins. A robin accepting a cuddle from anybody is the joke.

Foxes and robins are two of the most searched-for Christmas card animals in the UK, and this design puts both on one card. It's a good choice for family, neighbours and anyone who'd rather send something cosy than a cartoon.
