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 some great 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.
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!
