Seasons Greetings!
Picking out seasonal cards and carefully writing handwritten messages in them is definitely one of our favourite parts of Christmas! It’s the time of giving, and there’s nothing quite as thoughtful as a beautiful, meaningful card. Leave your ordinary stationary shop behind, and choose from an array of unique cards at one of these shops. Spread the joy, spread the love!
A firm favourite of ours is The Lion Rock Press, popularly known for their quirky, adorable designs that combine notable local sights with Western humour. The best part? 100% of profits from the Charity Christmas Cards collection go towards Mother’s Choice charity organisation. If you need further incentive, 100% of the profits from the gift wrap, tags, and washi tape also go towards charity. From the cutest dim sum wrapping paper to intricate little Christmas ornaments, this is Sassy Mama’s go-to for unique Hong Kong presents.
Price: $25 per card and $100 for a charity card set of 10 cards
