Do you know how the giving and receiving of Christmas cards began?

A Christmas card is something that can be proudly displayed around the home and used as a decoration. They are sent with lovely messages for loved ones during the Christmas festivities but have you ever thought about how it all started?

What started as an idea between two friends, Sir Henry Cole and his artistic friend John Horsley, was soon to become a tradition that many of us love taking part in. Starting in the UK, they sold their first cards for one shilling each and used it as an opportunity to market John Horsely's artwork.

Whilst the monetary value may have changed, the concept is still relatively the same, and at Love Kate's we are here to keep the tradition going strong with our range of Christmas cards.

Amongst all the presents, food and drinks that occur at Christmas time, nothing is quite as special and personal as a Christmas card. Simply by sending a Christmas card to your relatives or friends can show them you're thinking of them, and that alone can sometimes make their Christmas particularly special.

We know that everyone will have a different idea of what Christmas cards they'd like to share with their friends and family, so we've worked hard to make sure we have something for everyone. Whether you favour the funny, witty, flowery or sentimental cards, we have a wealth of Christmas cards to choose from here at Love Kate's.
