Santa’s buggered off back home to the North Pole for a nap, the halls are stripped of their boughs of holly, and everyone is a little bit less happy. Christmas is over, and you’re gonna have to deal with it. 

At this point, your blood is 50% booze, 50% cheese, and the thought of touching another mince pie is enough to make even your pudding-loving dad shudder. Was it worth it? Yes. Do you regret it? Maybe a little, but you’ll sure as f*ck do it again next year.

So how do you survive the festive fallout? By being polite. A thank-you card goes a long way, especially if you can’t be bothered to do it in person or on the phone. So we’ve rounded up our faves to make it even easier. 

Now, when does this ‘new me’ start to kick in??

It’s pretty incredible what adding an extra letter to a word can do, in this case, it can express gratitude via a drawing of one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. 

Give this thoughtful card to someone who’s gotten you a gift, even if it’s been castaway into the bin because you didn’t like it. 

Because you should still say hank you, even if it’s not quite your cup of T. 

Are you tired of saying ‘thank you’ by now? Has it lost all meaning during the festive season of gluttony where all you’re doing is receiving gifts, food and well wishes? 

Switch to ‘grassy ass’ to keep things interesting instead. This hilarious card absolutely butchers the Spanish language, while featuring a donkey made of turf. What more do you need?

Perfect especially if your dad has been saying ‘the least nobby dot’ when Feliz Navidad came on. 

You don’t speak French, so let this funky card do the talking for you.

This card doesn’t speak French, either, but they’ll probably understand what it means. And if not? It’s blank inside, so you can just write ‘thank you for the macarons’ on the inside and it’ll be fine.

Some cool things you can write in this lovely, extra colourful card:

- Your gift was bloomin’ brilliant, thank you!

- I can’t be-leaf you knew I’d want that for a gift, thanks!

- My gift is so good I sent you a photo(synthesis). *include pic of gift*

- Thanks, Plant-a Claus!

Maybe don’t use that last one.

If you’re feline grateful, send them this cute kitty cat card to say thanks very much for your gift, or thank you for having you. 

Or anything, really. Say thanks for being your friend, thanks for sending good memes, thanks for always commenting on your LinkedIn posts. 

It’s quite a versatile card, honestly.

Utilise the power of flowers in your thank you with this delightfully bright and bold card, because showing your gratitude doesn’t have to be boring. 

Besides, most of the plants outside are dead/sleeping during the winter, so it’s nice to be able to give something with a bit of life in it. That’s a bit bleak, isn’t it? What a way to end the blog.
