One of my favorite parts about the holiday season is wrapping gifts. Some people love it, some people loathe it. I fall into the former category. I love scouring Pinterest for some unique gift wrapping ideas. Here are some favorites I have come across!

Just a heads up - Tuesday, December 15 (tomorrow!) is the last day to place orders for the holidays. This is to ensure that your orders arrive in a timely manner since we all know how slammed the USPS is right now! Order boxes of Christmas cards so you can send some fun mail to your friends, gift tags to dress up your holiday presents, notepads and art prints for the cactus or flower loving friend or family member in your life, or thank you cards for all of the notes you'll be writing post-holidays! Thanks so much for shopping small and supporting my business this holiday season!

In addition to new Christmas cards, I've also designed a few new New Year's cards this year. I was going for very festive and fun designs full of color and joy. They are sold as single cards or boxed sets of 8 cards with white envelopes.
Bright and Happy New Year Card
This best selling card also remains a favorite. Drawing that many little stars took a long time, but I love the effect!

One of my favorite holiday activities is wrapping gifts. Some people loathe it, but I love picking out a paper and ribbon and strategizing how to best wrap a gift. You can't forget the gift tag!

One of the new items I am launching this season is holiday postcard sets. I had a few requests for postcards last season and had a fun time designing these newest products. Jot a short note and stick on a fun postcard stamp and you are good to go! They are also great to slip under a wrapped gift in lieu of a gift tag. The sets are sold in packs of 8 and you can find them in the holiday shop!

With about 6 weeks until Christmas, the race is on to think about gifts for your loved ones. Looking for something unique for the person who has everything or the person who is impossible to buy for? Want to encourage the kids in your life to send more mail and write thank you notes? Consider some custom stationery.
I just revamped my digital catalog of custom designs. There is something for everyone - baby, child, teen, man, and woman!
Enclosure cards for children have been quite popular so far this season.
I hope you enjoy looking through the catalog. Get in touch and let me know how I can help you create something special this holiday season!

As you may know, a few months ago I launched my first collection of hand embroidered pieces of art. While I have enjoyed stitching each and every piece, some of my favorite embroidery projects have been custom commissions featuring a name, monogram, or initial.
Just in time for the holidays, I'm now accepting requests for custom work! Whether it's for a new baby's nursery, a housewarming gift, or just for someone special, I'd love to work with you on something. Get in touch and let me know what you are interested in.

What are you thankful for this holiday season? Who are you thankful for? With just three weeks until the Thanksgiving holiday, I definitely find myself thinking over who and what I am most grateful for.
So Thankful for You Card (gorgeous maple leaves courtesy of my yard)
You can use the holiday as an opportunity to let your friends and family know what they mean to you...with a card! Or maybe you need to write a quick thank you note to the person or family hosting your Thanksgiving meal this year.
You can find Happy Cactus' Thanksgiving specific cards here. Shop all of our thank you notes here.
