Gift Guide: Cards for Caffeinated Animal Lovers

Funny, heartfelt cards for the people who run on coffee and would adopt every animal they meet.

The Caffeinated Animal Lover’s Gift Guide

Some people run on coffee. Some people would adopt every animal they meet if the lease allowed it. And then there are the truly excellent ones who do both.

If you’ve got someone like that in your life, this little guide is for you. Every card here is blank inside, so it works for any occasion, and each one is original artwork from the Morning Coffee with Jules series, printed and posted from Coffs Harbour. Australian-made, a bit funny, occasionally a bit emotional, always sent with a coffee in hand.

Here’s how to find the right one.

For the Aussie Christmas crowd

Seven Christmas cards for the people who’ve never once had a white Christmas and don’t intend to start. Only 25 of each.

Why these cards?

Because a card shouldn’t feel like it came off a shelf of a thousand identical ones.

Every design here started as a small moment, a feeling, or a story, drawn for the people who feel things deeply and laugh easily.

Blank inside, so the words are yours. Australian-made, so it supports a small studio, not a factory.
