Christmas 2025: Charity Cards We’re Loving
Battersea Dogs & Cats Home
Battersea Cats Pop-Up, £12
Know someone with a soft spot for their feline companion? Then you might feel inspired by this whimsical pop-up card by Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, which shows Santa Claus at home trimming the tree – all while a group of curious cats explore the gifts stacked underneath. You’ll catch them poking around presents, sitting on the armchair and pawing at Santa’s boots. (And a hidden notecard will keep the festive scene from being disturbed with any festive well-wishes.)
Smythson
Christmas Royal Card Set, £42
A luxury treat from Bond Street stationer Smythson. Beautifully illustrated and hand-printed, this pack of cards features a scene of the royal guards marching under the stars (and to the beat of their own festive drum). The inside of the card has been left blank for your own messages, and each one comes with a tissue-lined envelope in a jolly shade of red. For every Christmas card purchased from Smythson this year, the British brand has promised to make a donation to the National Literacy Trust to support its work transforming lives through literacy.
Emma Bridgewater
Robin In The Spruce Cards (Pack Of 5), £4.50
What says ‘Christmas’ better than a flock of robins perched amongst holly branches? Emma Bridgewater gives the festive greeting her signature cottagecore spin, with a pack of five charity cards decorated with her ceramic illustrations. And with every pack sold, the brand promises to make a charitable contribution to be shared equally between Age UK, British Heart Foundation, Marie Curie and Mind.
Marie Curie
Vintage Santa Christmas Cards (Pack Of 10), £4.99
This Christmas, think pink. Marie Curie has an impressive collection of Christmas cards up for grabs this season, but fans of kitschmas will find themselves enraptured by this vintage-inspired print. Laughing, rosy-cheeked and candy cane in hand, Santa Claus sits on a blush background decorated with silver stars, tinsel, garlands and red bows.
Shelter
Nutcracker Parade Charity Christmas Cards (Pack Of 10), £3.99
Shelter similarly boasts a coveted collection of illustrated greeting cards, featuring all kinds of festive fanfare – Santa on his way to deliver presents, snow globes, ice skating and music-playing angels – but if it’s something simple you’re after, this nutcracker design should do the trick. Eight smartly dressed nutcrackers peer up from the front of the card, illustrated in bright red and accented in shimmering gold foil.
Wrap
Charity Christmas Card Set By Rosy Nicholas, £14.95
Something bright and colourful this way comes. This set of large gold-foiled Christmas cards has been designed by London-based artist Rosy Nicholas, who brings joyful symbols of the season to life in a playful paper-cut style. For every pack sold, £10 will go to UK charity Mummy’s Star – the only charity in the country that supports women and birthing people diagnosed with cancer in or around pregnancy.
RNLI
Christmas Lighthouse Cards (Pack Of 8), £4.50
The RNLI invites us all to ‘light up the festive season’ with its latest Christmas card. Directly supporting the charity’s work providing its crews everything they need to save lives at sea, the card has been illustrated by artist Caroline Armstrong – and features a classic red and white striped lighthouse standing beside a snowy seaside town.
