A Scottish greeting card should sound like someone you know. Our cards are full of the things Caroline's family actually said to each other, which is mostly affectionate abuse, and they're printed here in Australia from her own paintings.
Where can I buy Scottish greeting cards in Australia?
You can buy them from specialist Scottish shops, from markets and online. We sell ours on this website, on Etsy and at markets around Perth, and every card starts life as one of Caroline's paintings or doodles. They're six dollars each and postage is free when you buy four or more.
What makes a good Scottish birthday card?
A good one makes the person laugh out loud before they've even opened it. Scots tend to show love by slagging each other off, so a card that tells your pal Yer No Deid Yet is about as heartfelt as it gets. Highland coos help too, because it's hard to stay grumpy about turning sixty when a hairy cow is grinning at you. If they've been a wee star lately, She's a Belter says it nicely.
Do you have Scottish cards for other occasions?
We do. There's Love Ye Hunners for anniversaries and soppy moments, Yer Awfie Clever for graduations, a Burns Night card for January and a good wee pile of Christmas cards for the end of the year. Browse the occasions cards and you'll find most of life covered.
Can I send a Scottish greeting card directly to someone in Australia?
Yes. When you order from us you can choose to send the card straight to the person. That's handy for birthdays interstate, or for anyone who means to post a card and then finds it in their handbag three weeks later.
What do the sayings on the cards mean?
Most of them you'll get from the picture. For the ones you won't, we're putting together a wee guide to Scots words on this blog, so nobody has to ring their gran to ask what a winch is.
Buy a few at once and keep them in a drawer. Somebody always has a birthday next week.
