Whistlefish 10 Greetings Cards for £12
Designed with love and considerately made in the UK
They're little pieces of art for those big on giving.

For over 25 years, Whistlefish has been
connecting busy, caring people to friends, family
and places, with earth-friendly, unique cards,
gifts and art. A passionate artist, Lyn Thompson founded
Whistlefish in 1997, opening our first shop in St
Ives, stocked with her hand painted designs. She is still heading up the business today,
ensuring the beauty, care and a little bit of
sparkle is woven into every design our in-studio
artists create. Green Matters is at the heart of everything we
do. From design and creation, to distribution
and post-purchase longevity, every day we
continue to work creatively to reduce our
impact on the environment. Because we produce in Cornwall, we can control
our production line and create small batch,
delivering lovely prints at even lovelier prices. We support British (and favourably Cornish)
whenever we can. This ensures product
miles are minimised, while at the same
time supporting British Industry – with the
employment and community benefits it brings.

Happy World Post Day! 📮

There’s something so lovely about sending a handwritten card. A little message, a thoughtful gesture, and a surprise through someone’s letterbox that can brighten their whole day.

So here’s your reminder to send a little happiness through the post. You never know how much it might mean to someone. ❤️

Who would you send a card to today? 💌

15 Christmas cards for £12…Consider this your reminder to start the Christmas card list… 🎄💌

From Idea to Card — Chapter 4: Adding the Details ✨

It’s the little details that make all the difference.

Once the artwork has been printed, some of our cards are given those extra finishing touches — from shimmering gold foil that catches the light, to embossing that adds texture you can actually feel.

A few final details before it starts to feel like a finished Whistlefish card. 💌

For so many of us, Dame Esther Rantzen was simply part of growing up. ❤️

For more than 20 years, That’s Life! made her a familiar face in millions of living rooms, bringing humour, warmth and humanity to Sunday-night television, while never being afraid to shine a light on the things that really mattered.

But perhaps her greatest legacy came away from the television screen.

In 1986, Esther founded Childline, creating somewhere children could turn when they felt frightened, alone or had nobody else to talk to. In the four decades since, the service has helped millions of children and young people. She later founded The Silver Line, extending that same compassion to older people experiencing loneliness.

A broadcaster, campaigner, mother and grandmother, but above all, someone who spent so much of her life making sure people who felt unheard had somebody listening.

Her own words seem a particularly lovely way to remember her:

“An understanding that kindness is the answer.”

Thank you, Dame Esther. ❤️

🐾 MEET THE FINAL 10! 🐾

You sent us thousands of photos of your wonderful dogs, and somehow we had to narrow them down to just 10!

Whistlefish chose 5 finalists, Hannah Cole chose 3, and Flori’s Friends Rescue chose 2.

Now, the final decision is yours.

Swipe through to meet all 10 finalists, then comment the number of the dog you think should win

The winning pup will be painted by Hannah Cole in her beautiful signature style, with their human receiving the original framed artwork. We’ll also turn the painting into its very own Whistlefish collection, with the winner receiving the collection too.

So, who gets your vote?

Comment 1–10 below! 👇

Voting closes 5th October at 12pm, and we’ll announce the winning pup on 8th October.

A huge thank you to everyone who entered. Choosing just 10 from thousands of gorgeous faces was not easy!

Voting T&Cs: One vote per Instagram account. To vote, comment the number of your chosen finalist (1–10) on this post before 12pm on 5th October. Multiple comments from the same account will not count as additional votes. The finalist receiving the highest number of valid votes will be the winner. In the event of a tie, the winner will be jointly selected by Whistlefish and Hannah Cole from the tied finalists. Votes received after the closing time will not be counted. Whistlefish reserves the right to disregard duplicate, automated, fraudulent or otherwise invalid votes.

We might be biased, but we think this is our best Christmas card collection yet. 🎄

15 Christmas cards for £12, ready for all the people on your list. ✨
