About the design

Two pink piglets have got hold of a red and white Christmas cracker in the farmhouse kitchen, one at each end, and since they haven't got hands they're pulling it with their snouts. Neither of them is letting go. The kitchen is warm, and the bang is only a moment away. The card is called Snout-standing Christmas.

Pigs are known for being clever and curious, and a pig's snout is a remarkable tool: strong enough to root through hard ground and sensitive enough to find food by smell. Piglets play a lot, chasing, wrestling and tugging at things, so a cracker would be fair game. The setting is a traditional British farmhouse kitchen, with cream cupboards and a range, the warmest room in the house in December.

It's a cheerful card for pig lovers, smallholders, anyone who has ever argued over who gets the bigger half of a cracker, and families who like their Christmas a bit noisy. It's one of our funniest farmyard designs, and it sits well alongside the hen and the geese.

What's in the pack

What is in the Snout-standing Christmas pack: 10 cards and 10 kraft envelopes

Every pack is printed to order by our printer here in the UK and sent by standard post. Most orders arrive within about a week, and Etsy shows a delivery estimate for your postcode before you buy.
