Buying Charity Christmas Card direct from the Charity

Combined Charities Christmas Cards

I cannot believe I have not stumbled across the Combined Charities Christmas Cards website before.  It is a volunteer run organisation that lets you purchase charity Christmas cards direct from the charity.  Your orders go to the individual charities for processing so they get every penny of the profits made.

At first glance the cards on sale seemed more like the card packs on sale in your local newsagent or stationery store and perhaps were not best suited as a company Christmas card.  However, I was pleased to find a link on their site that contained a range of cards specially selected on the basis of their suitability as a corporate Christmas card which made sifting through all the designs on the site less cumbersome.  Most of the cards on display do not allow personalisation and it was not immediately obvious which designs did because the site is not specifically targetted towards businesses.  There are charities that offer an overprinting service to allow the company name on the cover and these are highlighted on the home page.  If personaliation was essential then it looks as though you would need to contact the charity directly for more details and perhaps a comprehensive order form rather than completing the online process on the combined charities Christmas card site.  Contact details of the charities that offer a personalisation service are available on the overprint page.

As you would expect all the cards have been sorted on the site by charity rather than design style as this is the motivation behind the site and I was pleased to see many of the smaller charities featured.  In all I counted over 60 charities and there were a varied assortment of card styles from each charity.
