It's that time of year again when the summer (what summer, I hear you ask?!) is flying by and thoughts of autumn and winter are starting to creep in. And Christmas is starting to make an appearance - even if it is August. So here are some ideas for Christmas cards for you, some for charities and some not, to help you get ready for Christmas well in advance!
The RSPB has a sale on Christmas cards!
The RSPB has some great Christmas cards including these two featuring this beautiful owl at dusk and a more traditional scene, with the Three Kings. They've also got a bumper pack of 40 cards.
This is a great way to support the RSPB and the work they are doing for our natural world. They've got everything you need for Christmas, from wrapping paper to decorations, gifts galore and crackers.
They've also got calendars and diaries, so that you can make the most of 2026! And they've got a special offer on these, too, on regular and slimline calendars - you can buy 2 and save £2.00! (This offer ends 10 December 2025).
The National Trust has an online shop selling lots of love Christmas cards, including a value pack box of 30. Some of their card packs feature robins, some sheep, and there are hares and puffins too, as well as dormice and harvest mice. There are also scenes such as Mompesson House and Blickling Hall.
The Trust also has calendars and diaries, and a family organiser to keep you on track in 2026. The diaries and calendars range features slim diaries and calendars, and desk diaries too.
If you're looking for a gift, there are throws and blankets to keep everyone warm, plus scarves and hats. And they've got pretty notecards and notebooks as well - perfect for writing those thank you notes or jotting down ideas, lists etc!
A pop up card could be described as a mixture of a card and a gift, all in one! They make great decorations, and you could put them on the mantlepiece or a cupboard or desk to enjoy. It's a letterbox gift, and this Winter Woodland Pop Up Card features a snowy scene, with a 3D snowman surrounded by woodland animals! You can also keep it, so that you can bring it out year after year to decorate your home! Cardology also have other themed Christmas cards, including one for cat lovers and one for dog lovers, both of which support Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.
