Last year, we welcomed Infinity Brands to Love Kate’s, bringing with them a delightful collection of sweet treats and charming keepsakes to treasure forever – all featuring the lovable Paddington Bear and Snoopy & Friends from Peanuts.
This year, we’re turning up the nostalgia even more as we introduce some familiar new faces to our Character collection! Bursting with beloved favourites we all know and adore, there’s something here to make everyone smile.
From the iconic Hello Kitty to the timeless charm of Miffy, and the bright, playful world of Mr. Men and Little Miss, there’s a perfect pick for every personality. Each card opens up into a magical 3D surprise that’s guaranteed to wow! And for something extra special, our quilling Mr. Men and Little Miss designs offer a beautifully handcrafted touch, full of texture, detail, and artistry.
So, let’s dive into the collection and take a closer look at these nostalgic new arrivals in all their glory!
Hello Kitty: Timeless & Kawaii Charm!
Hello Kitty is one of those instantly recognisable characters that so many of us have grown up loving. First created by Sanrio in the 1970s, she started out as a sweet little design on a coin purse, and the rest is history!
Over the years, Hello Kitty has popped up just about everywhere, from cute stationery and toys to fashion, homeware, and even themed cafés. She’s become so much more than a character; she’s a feel-good favourite that brings a little joy wherever she goes.
For some, Hello Kitty is a lovely throwback to childhood, while for others she’s a fun and stylish icon that still feels totally current. That mix of nostalgia and newness is what makes Hello Kitty so special and why she’s still putting smiles on faces all these years later.
Now, you can find the perfect pop up birthday card for any Hello Kitty fan and personalise it to make their big day extra special! Or, for something a little different, our new Hello Kitty Decopatch cards let you gift them a badge for their collection… quite literally! Each one comes with an embroidered self-adhesive patch that can be used to decorate laptops, bags, or even the back of a phone case – a little keepsake they can carry with them every day.
Hello Kitty is perfect for all ages; it’s a birthday card that delivers plenty of cuteness and guaranteed smiles.
Miffy: Simple, Stylish & Cute!
Quite like Hello Kitty, Miffy has been charming her way into hearts for decades, appearing in over 30 picture books loved by families all around the world. What started on the page has grown into something truly special, with Miffy now popping up across everything from cuddly toys and stationery to clothing, homeware, and the sweetest little gifts for little ones. She even had her own TV show!
Miffy is one of those characters that feels just as special to grown-ups as she does to children, bringing a lovely sense of nostalgia while still feeling beautifully simple and modern. It’s that timeless charm that makes Miffy such a beloved favourite, generation after generation.
Add something extra special to a Miffy fan’s collection with one of our lovely Miffy cards. Our Miffy Decopatch designs make a sweet keepsake, while our adorable pop up birthday cards bring Miffy to life in the most delightful way. With a charming selection of personalised swing tags to choose from, each card can be made to feel just as unique as the person receiving it.
Miffy’s gentle, timeless style makes her a perfect choice for little ones, while still holding that nostalgic charm for teens and adults who have loved her for years – a design that truly suits all ages.
Mr. Men & Little Miss: Personality in Every Card
The Mr. Men and Little Miss stories are woven into so many of our childhood memories! From the bright, bold illustrations to those wonderfully quirky characters that always made us smile.
Now, you can share a little of that joy with our new, vibrant Mr. Men Little Miss birthday cards. From Mr. Birthday pop-up cards to fun Little Miss Princess Zazoo designs complete with temporary tattoos for an extra layer of birthday excitement, there’s plenty to make their day feel special.
Our character Decopatch cards also feature a lovely selection of Mr. Men and Little Miss favourites. And for something truly unique, our beautifully handcrafted quilling cards turn characters like Mr. Happy, Little Miss Hug, and Little Miss Naughty into little pieces of art – with so many stunning designs to choose from.
Perfectly pair your Mr. Men Little Miss birthday card with our range of cookie tins gifts, filled to the brim with delicious chocolate brownie cookies. Ideal for sharing (or not – we won’t tell!). And the fun doesn’t stop there… once the cookies are gone, the tins can be reused as the cutest pencil holders, change pots, or little “bits and bobs” jars.
For an extra sweet treat, you can also gift a scrumptious bar of milk chocolate, tucked inside a vibrant Mr. Men Little Miss tin.
Paddington Bear & Snoopy: Infinity Brands
There’s something really special about a gift that feels like a little hug from the past. The Infinity Brands collection is filled with nostalgic treasures that take you right back to the characters we all grew up loving. From Paddington Bear and his much-loved marmalade sandwiches to Snoopy and the Peanuts gang, these timeless favourites bring a wave of warmth and familiarity with them.
These beloved characters make a wonderful addition to any birthday celebration, or a thoughtful festive treat at Christmas – simple, joyful gifts that are sure to spark smiles and a little nostalgia along the way.
