Scribbler has built its name on greeting cards that say what everyone else is thinking. The London company is known for its cheeky sense of humour and strong design, and its shops and website are full of cards that make people laugh out loud. But the brand is also a practical tool for anyone who wants to stay on top of birthdays, anniversaries and the Christmas rush.
In this guide we look at how to use Scribbler to plan ahead this season: the card ranges, the Jellycat gift collection, scheduled dispatch, delivery cut-off times and the rewards scheme. You can browse Scribbler cards and gifts here as you go.
1. Cards for Every Kind of Humour
The Scribbler card range covers birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, thank you, retirement, leaving, good luck, new home and Christmas. Within each occasion you can choose between funny, rude and new-in cards, which helps you match the card to the person. A dad-joke card for your father, a pop-culture card for a friend who loves reality TV, or something a bit sharper for a sibling.
Topical humour is a big part of the appeal. Recent designs reference football rivalries, the World Cup, Formula 1, big film releases and politics, so there is usually a card that feels current. If your recipient prefers something softer, the range also includes cute first and second birthday designs and floral cards for aunties and grandparents.
2. Buy 3 Get 1 Free on All Cards
Scribbler is currently running Buy 3 Get 1 Free on all cards. That is useful in autumn, when you can stock up on birthday cards for the next few months as well as the first batch of Christmas cards. Picking four at once also means you are less likely to end up at a petrol station on the morning of a birthday.
A simple approach is to go through your calendar for October to January and pick your cards in one Scribbler order. The offer applies across the card range, so you can mix birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas in a single basket.
3. Christmas Cards With a Sense of Humour
Scribbler’s Christmas collection is exactly what you would expect from the brand. The shop itself describes it as cards for all tastes and styles, even some safe ones. There are cheeky cards for close friends and partners, gentle designs for colleagues, and plenty in between.
Because the Christmas range sells quickly, it is worth choosing early, especially for the more popular designs. Scribbler also sells cards individually, so you can pick a different joke for each person rather than buying one boxed pack.
4. Jellycat and Gifts
Scribbler is not only about cards. It stocks a wide Jellycat range, including the famously squishy Amuseables, Halloween and Christmas characters, food and drink plush toys, and bag charms. Shoppers can browse by bestsellers, new in, animals and food and drink, and many of the current favourites are playful items such as Jellycat croissants, macarons, edamame beans and Ghost Bob.
Beyond Jellycat there are top-pick gifts, sweet treats and new-in gifts, plus seasonal ranges such as the Showgirl collection. Pairing a card with a small gift is an easy way to turn a quick note into a proper present. You can explore Jellycat and gifts at Scribbler alongside the cards.
5. Scheduled Dispatch: Order Now, Send Later
One of Scribbler’s most useful features is scheduled dispatch. When you order, you can choose the day your card is sent, up to 12 months in advance. That means you can sort out a whole year of birthdays in one sitting and let Scribbler post each card at the right time.
For normal orders, Scribbler aims to dispatch card orders placed before 3pm and gift orders before 1pm on the same working day. Cards are delivered by Royal Mail or another commercial carrier, and cards can be sent to UK or international addresses, while gifts ship within the UK.
6. Scribbler Rewards
Frequent card buyers should look at Scribbler Rewards. You earn 1 point for every 50p spent, and each point is worth 10p off a future card or gift. Points can be redeemed in store or online. New members also receive bonus points worth a free card when they join, although those bonus points expire after 60 days.
If you send a lot of cards, the points add up quickly and help offset the cost of the next order. Signing up is free on the Scribbler website.
7. Tips for Choosing the Right Card
Funny cards work best when they fit the relationship. Save the rude cards for people you know will enjoy them, and use topical or dad-joke cards for family members who like a laugh but not a shock. For workplaces, leaving and retirement cards with light humour are usually a safe choice. And if you are unsure, Scribbler’s cute and floral designs are a good fallback.
8. Why Scribbler Cards Stand Out
Plenty of shops sell funny cards, but Scribbler keeps its designs fresh by reacting quickly to news, sport and pop culture. That means the card you send feels personal and current rather than generic. The company has been designing cards in London for decades, and its writers clearly enjoy pushing a joke as far as it will go. For shoppers, the result is a huge choice, from gentle puns to properly outrageous lines, all in one place.
Conclusion
Scribbler is a fun shop, but it is also an organised one. With Buy 3 Get 1 Free on cards, same-day dispatch cut-offs, scheduled sending up to a year ahead, a big Jellycat range and a rewards scheme, it is an easy way to stay ahead of every birthday and Christmas card on your list. Start your Scribbler order today and cross a few dates off the calendar.
