We stock a lovingly edited range of greeting cards for every milestone and moment: birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, engagements, new homes, new babies, Mother's Day, Father's Day, graduation, thank you, get well, thinking of you and Christmas — as well as beautifully illustrated notecards and boxed sets perfect for everyday correspondence.
Our cards come from three of Britain's most-loved independent card publishers:
Toasted Crumpet — inspired by the British countryside, Toasted Crumpet's designs bring contemporary watercolour illustrations to life on premium textured card stock, printed in Britain and entirely cello-free. From pheasants and bees to botanicals and butterflies, these are cards people genuinely don't want to throw away.
Caroline Gardner — design-led and detail-obsessed, Caroline Gardner produces cards and stationery that punch well above their price point. Bold colour palettes, gold foiling and considered typography make these a favourite for people who take gifting seriously.
Rosie Made a Thing — witty, warm and wonderfully relatable, Rosie Made a Thing is the card for the person who makes everyone laugh. A firm favourite for birthdays and friendship cards, these sell out for good reason.
Gifts, Wrapping & Stationery
Beyond cards we stock a thoughtfully chosen range of gifts, gift bags, wrapping and stationery, all in keeping with the Little Gems ethos of quality, character and care. From fine bone china mugs in gift boxes to diaries, cosmetic bags and home fragrance, our gift edit is designed to make you look like you really thought about it (because we did).
