We’ve all been there, you’ve already found the perfect christmas cards (bonus points if theyre sketched by siena designs), made yourself a festive hot chocolate, lit your gingerbreads candle and now youre staring at a blank page wondering what on earth you can write to make someone feel as warm and fuzzy inside as you do in your blanket right now!
When it comes to the merriest time of year, you want to put those warm feelings (and some added seasonal sparkle) into words for your loved ones! 🎄✨
Family:
Family cards are of course where you can get a little sentimental, they’re the people you’ll prpobably be spending the festive period with and the people who need that extra special message! Top Tip: Mention an inside joke, festive tradition or memory to make the message feel ectra personal and really capture that family festive feeling!
-Thank you for always making the best roast potatoes!
-Merry christmas to the personal that has always kept that magic alive…
-Cant wait to spend the holidays with you!
-Home is where the family is (and the mince pies are)…
-Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to my favourite people all year round.
-All i want for christmas is to spend it with you!
-I’d pick you first out of a box of quality street!
Friends:
With your friends, that same heartwarming charm can shine, think fun, lighthearted and full of inside jokes or shared moments. Maybe you’re spending time with friends rather than family this festive period, show tour gratitude for them! Top Tip: a sprinkle of humour + genuine affection = the perfect balance!
-Merry Christmas, wishing this year is as merry and bright as you are every day.

Coworkers:
Here you can keep it friendly and professional, but dont be afraid to add a little relaxed festive cheer! Top Tip: You dont need to add anything too personal, but a little inside work joke or business wins can always be celebrated!

-Wishing you a relaxing break and all the joy this festive season brings!

Neighbours:
Neighbour cards are all about friendliness and community spirit. Whether you wave over the garden fence or swap cookies every December, a little kindness goes a long way. Top Tip: If you’re popping a card through their letterbox, some cookies or a candy cane is always an extra sweet touch.
-Wishing you a joyful Christmas and a happy, peaceful New Year! Thanks for being such wonderful neighbours.
