Looking to buy birthday cards online from a UK small business? You've come to the right place!
Here's everything you need to know about how to buy unique and thoughtful personalised birthday cards online and support a small business at the same time.
When you need to buy a birthday card online, you have options-
1- Get a free e-card. It's quick, easy and convenient. Did we also mention free? But here's the thing- it doesn't exactly show care, thoughtfulness or effort- all of which are important factors when you want to show your favourite people that you care about their birthday. Don't get me wrong, it's a great option at 23:59 on their birthday when you realise you forgot to send them a card.
2- Order a card from a big online card shop like Moonpig, Funky Pigeon or Thortful. They are quick, cheap and cheerful, what's not to love? As long as you know that you've not made any typos or mistakes when you order, as what you type is what you get. These big online card companies are all about quantity and speed.
3- Order a personalised, handmade card from a small business online and have it sent either to yourself so you can write inside and pass it on, or let the small business print your message inside and send direct. Handmade, thoughtful, personalised and with options, it's a win-win!
"What is the best online greeting card site in the UK?" We hear you ask...
Well, we think you'd struggle to find a better online card shop than Pogofandango, and we may be a bit biased, but our customers agree (and that's why they come back time after time).
Let me show you our workings-out on this:
1- We're a small, family-run online card shop. Like, really small- there are 3 of us. Emma, Gill and Charis. You email us, one of us will reply. You call us, Charis will answer the phone. You want a change to your order, Gill will make that change. Because we're such a close-knit, small team, we can go off-menu, we can add small extra changes to artwork for you, we all know what's going on with all the orders, all the time.
2- We make everything to order- So if you made a mistake on your order and put the year of the wedding as 2925 instead of 2025, we can spot it and make it right. You would not believe how often we spot and correct little mistakes like that!
3-Our greetings cards are not like any other greetings cards online- We make and sell greetings cards online, but they aren't printed on big machines and we don't make thousands of cards every day. Our cards are individually drawn, laser cut and hand finished- each one is a work of art, a hand crafted gift. We don't make boring greetings cards!
4-We genuinely care - Consider us your personal greetings card cheerleaders. We care about how your recipient reacts when you give them their card, it's why we work so hard to ensure our cards are of the highest quality. We want you to be proud to give one of our cards, and we put the time in to make sure this happens. You just don't get that sort of attitude from big brands and the automated card manufacturers.
5- Our customers keep coming back to us! Have you ever had a go-to greetings card company? Plenty of our customers are regulars, and, not to brag, but some even send us Christmas cards and biscuits. Have you ever sent a Christmas card to Moonpig? (Just saying...) Take a look at some of our recent reviews:
So there you have it, the next time you search for birthday cards online UK, why not consider Pogofandango as an alternative to Moonpig?
