Christmas shop is now open

The Christmas section of my shop is now open. Most items are one time only makes so once it’s gone it’s gone!

Please help support my three chosen MD charities over the coming months and spread the word.

More things will be added over the coming months.

Most cards are exclusive to my shop and all individually designed – so nobody will have one like it!

You can also personalise cards with gold writing on a satin ribbon for that special person or event eg Baby’s first Christmas.

Easter cards and gifts

Hand made Easter gifts will be going into my shop over the next few weeks.

I already have my Easter gift card envelopes available in the gift card holder size. Larger sizes are available for some designs which are ideal for money gifts, small jewellery items.

I think that with rabbits, chocolates, spring flowers, Easter eggs and Christian crosses I have most ideas covered!!

You can also make great Easter Bunny Egg Hunts by buying a selection of envelopes, writing clues on them and hiding them to lead to the eggs.

I can do special Confirmation and First Holy Communion cards and gift envelopes on request.

Easter Cards

My special dimensional Lantern Cards, such as the one above, look beautiful with the sunlight shining through them (or a battery tea-light at night). They have a translucent parchment window to bring the light of Christ into the design.

Gift baskets

I can make small Easter gift favour boxes that can hold chocolate mini eggs or other small gifts.

Easter gift baskets come in two types – the lower cost ones are easily assembled and can be posted flat. Chocolate not included!! Each has hand made flowers and other embellishments and are unique to me.

Love and Romance

Send a little love message to someone special

Send a card that reveals a blank insert to write a personalised keepsake message (removable).

You can also slot in a pre purchased gift card.

Ideal for Valentines Day or wedding anniversaries.

Size: A6, white envelope. A very sturdy card which can also be used as a money wallet.

Open up the card (the middle flips over) to reveal a blank insert or remove the insert and attach a gift card. You can use the blank insert to:

  • write your personal message
  • add a romantic message/poem/DIY voucher/promise that can be removed and kept by the recipient. (The recipient can display the card without the embarrassment factor!)
  • Use as an invitation
  • Say thank you

Available in my Etsy shop ohhowlovelygifts.

Food and drink themed decorated envelopes

What can be more fun than part invitations or gift card holders with yummy foods on like cupcakes and chocolate!

I have over 50 different types of these envelopes each with a beautiful food themed ‘button’. Each has a high quality ribbon to slide over the envelope to keep it closed and an insert to write your message on.

Whether you are gifting a chocolate themed voucher or hosting a chocolate making party – these are perfect.

Envelopes are gift card sized with a blank insert for your message – or can hold a business card sized party invite without folding.

Super fun for using as a thank you gifts and announcements.

Christmas Shop is open

My Christmas shop is open for unique charity cards and other handmade gifts.

Christmas gift card envelopes are selling already – many are one-off designs and unique to my shop.

This year I’ll have a number of different Christmas cards and several new Lantern cards that glow when a light is behind them.

I will also have a small range of larger envelopes / perfect for Santa letters, money gifts etc and some beautiful ‘Waiting for Santa’ wooden door signs.

Pet gift envelopes

Gift card sized envelopes – pet themed.

Many button fastener choices and patterns in my shop. A great little thank you envelope for pet sitting, vets and many other occasions.

I can personalise them from a wide range of buttons and paper patterns. Just ask!

Gifts card holders for board game enthusiasts

I love playing board games. We’re not talking Monopoly here – there are hundreds of thousands of amazing board games / tabletop games waiting to be discovered. I’m particularly fond of worker placement games like Agricola, collecting resources, choosing what to buy and trying to build a farm that’s better (points wise) than other players!!

Being inspired by the themes, I’ve started making a range of gift card envelopes (voucher / money holders) ideal for board game players.

Please note that some Meeple were harmed in the processes of making these gift card envelopes.

If you would like to buy them for personal use or gifting, then you can find them in my Etsy shop.

I’d like to offer my customers these envelopes

If you would like to help me raise more funds for people living with MD, by offering them in your own shop or games cafe, send me a message via Facebook, Instagram or Etsy.

If you are a charity, you can resell these and make a profit. *

If you are a not a charity, you can offer them to your customers at the same price as I sell them – you can enhance your product and customers can be confident that all profits (after materials) will go to my three charities.

Some styles do not have a restrictive licence and can be sold at a profit – (the style with hexagons and a meeple on them ).

*Due to licensing for the paper designs I use, only registered charities can re-sell at a profit for most envelopes.

Free gift card holder

I will be giving a free gift card holder with every order from my shop to mark DMD awareness day.

About Duchenne

September 7th marks World Duchenne Awareness Day. It’s on 7/9 in recognition of the 79 exons on the Dystrophin gene (where the mutations occur).

It causes muscles to become progressively weaker, gradually weakening essential body functions.

Globally, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy affects 1 in 3,600 boys, with just 1 in 50,000,000 girls being affected to the same extent.

Your purchase supports adults with dystrophy.

All three charities (where profits from these gifts go to) support people with Duchenne. Specifically, DMD Pathfinders is unique in supporting adults to live longer, healthier fulfilling lives – being run by people living with DMD.

LIVING LONGER, HEALTHIER FULFILLING LIVES

It is possible to achieve remarkable things with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)

With the right help and support we can travel around the world, gain a PhD, become a published author, graphic designer, music promoter…the sky’s the limit!

Adults with DMD are living longer. There are an estimated 500 people in the UK aged over 18 with Duchenne plus many more with Duchenne-like types of dystrophy. 

No-one expected us to live this long. As a result, organisations and agencies that were originally created to advise and support our parents/carers have been slow to respond to our needs.
