Do you write custom cards?

For the right price (or emotional drama level), yes. I’m available for commissions, one-liners, and revenge notes.

Are these cards eco-friendly?

Printed on-demand to avoid waste. No unnecessary glitter, no weird smells, and minimal carbon footprint (unless you send them by carrier pigeon).

Do you accept returns?

If something arrives damaged, I got you. If you suddenly regret your purchase because it was “too real,” I lovingly recommend journaling.

You were looking for socks, got distracted, and now you're buying a greeting card that emotionally unsettles people. Welcome.

If the universe is expanding, why is my bank account not?

Because capitalism. But thanks for your support, it feeds the pug.

Can I get your designs on something other than a card?

Yes, begrudgingly. I'm experimenting with prints, postcards, tote bags, and maybe an apron that says “Don’t Talk To Me Unless It’s Existential.”

Do you accept returns?

Only if you return my childhood. (Kidding. Sort of. For damaged items, reach out and we’ll make it right.)

Can I sell your cards at a holiday market?

Yep. Wholesale all the way. And please don’t pair them next to anything involving glitter or gratitude.

Are your cards protected when being shipped?

Our cards are printed on thick, tantrum-proof paper, slipped lovingly into a clear sleeve, and hand-packed by a very tired person in Queens into a 7x10 kraft envelope.

There’s always that one person who tags in when your brain nopes out. The one who texts your ex for you, explains your job to strangers at parties, and has memorized your medical history just in case. For her birthday, honor the human twin flame who’s held your hand through your dumbest decisions and said “I get it” instead of “what the hell is wrong with you?”

This card is for the soulmate-level friend who’s done emotional labor you really should’ve outsourced to a licensed professional.

Minimalist design, maximum trauma bonding on her special day.

Perfect For:
- Your emotional support lunatic
- The friend who has cried in public with you more than 3 times
- Ride-or-die types with shared Google calendars and shared grudges
- That one person who always knows if it’s anxiety or just cheese
- Anyone whose texts include “just checking you’re still alive”

Our cards:
- Standard 5" x 7" folded card
- Blank inside — space for your own chaos
- Blank white envelope included
- 250gsm heavyweight cotton paper (64lb cover)
