About these Cards for Grandson
A card for a grandson has to cover a moving target. He is four and obsessed with dinosaurs, then he is eleven and only cares about football, then he is eighteen and would rather nobody made a fuss at all. The age filter is the useful one here, because the right card for a seven year old and the right card for a seventeen year old have almost nothing in common.
Designs run from bright and playful through to plain foil for the milestone years, with plenty of room inside for a proper message from a grandparent.
Every card is made to order in Mallow, County Cork, printed on heavyweight cardstock and sent blank inside with a kraft or white envelope. The foil is real foil pressed by hand, which children notice immediately. If the present is a match or a gig rather than an object, the kids surprise keepsake cards reveal it.

Your questions, answered
Everything you need to know before you personalise a card.
How does personalising work?
On the product page there's a box for the name, age or wording you want. Some designs add that text into the printed design itself, others leave the inside blank for you to write by hand. Each product page says which one it is.
Can I see a proof before it's printed?
For a straightforward name and date, I print without a separate proof. If your wording is longer or unusual, message me first and I'll confirm it before it goes to print.
What if I spot a typo after I've ordered?
Message me as soon as you can. If it hasn't gone to print yet I can fix it for free. Once it's printed and dispatched, a replacement is a paid reprint.
What foil colours do you offer?
Gold, silver, rose gold and holographic, plus gold holographic on some designs, I have over 30 foil color to choose from. Each product page shows which colours are available for that card.
Which size should I pick?
A6 is the standard card size and A5 is roughly double, better when the design carries a lot of wording or you want it to feel like a keepsake.
How long before it arrives?
