Some Christmas cards just feel like the season. Merry and Bright is one of them.

This 2026 pack comes from the hand of Australian illustrator Emma Whitelaw, whose work has a warmth that suits Christmas beautifully. The wallet holds 10 cards, each with its own illustrated envelope, so the whole package feels considered from the moment you open it.

The finish is a cut above the usual boxed card. Each card is printed on richly textured, premium matt paper with luxurious foil highlights on both the wallet and the cards themselves. The paper is FSC certified and printed with soy inks, and even the envelopes are printed with vegetable ink. Thoughtful in every detail.

Inside, the inscription reads "With best wishes for the Festive Season". A gentle, inclusive greeting that suits everyone on your list, whatever their traditions. Each card measures 124 x 124mm, a lovely square format with room for your own message.

10% of wholesale proceeds from this pack go to the Children's Medical Research Institute. CMRI is one of Australia's oldest independent medical research institutes, working on childhood conditions including cancer and genetic disorders. Many Australians know it through the Jeans for Genes campaign. Buying these cards is a small way to back that work while doing your Christmas correspondence.

We think that is a fair trade. You need cards anyway. Your friends and family receive something genuinely beautiful. And a research institute doing important work for sick kids receives support along the way.

A practical note. Our charity card ranges are popular and once a design sells out for the season, it is gone. If Merry and Bright catches your eye, do not wait until December.

The pack of 10 is $13.99, which comes to $1.40 a card. For an Australian designed, foil finished charity card, that is hard to beat.
