Paperchase 50s-style charity Christmas cards

Paperchase_christmas
More retro Christmas cards, this time from Paperchase, which is selling these 50s-style charity Christmas cards.

Three good points here. Firstly, that design, which is colourful and quirky, with 50s-style graphics. Secondly, these are charity cards, with 45p from each pack going to Hearing Dogs For Deaf People.

And finally, the price. This is a pack of 10 cards and it retails for just £2.75, so a real bargain too. You can pick them up from a Paperchase store or from the Paperchase store at Amazon.

Yes, it’s rapidly approaching that time of year when everyone expects a Christmas card – and you have to go and find something that isn’t too tacky to send. Well, let us save you the trouble with this rather smart 1950s Baubles Christmas cards.

Designed by Phoebe Moore and available online from the V&A, the cards offer up a 50s-themed design that’s very festive, but not too cheesy. And you’ll get bonus points for being eco-friendly, with the paper made from sustainable sources, the envelopes made from recycled juice cartons and the wrapping created from cornstarch.

A pack of 10 same design cards with plain white envelopes retails for £6.
