A Christmas Message from Kate

Christmas is a time to celebrate and share love and joy with those around us.  It is also a time for many to enjoy a well-deserved rest.   After a very busy few weeks here at Love Kate’s I can finally enjoy a few moments to myself to reflect over the last year and look forward to putting my feet up for a few days. 

2021 was a year we pinned our hopes on everything returning to normal after the unprecedented events of 2020.  In a world where everything we knew was turned upside down, many of us took time to evaluate the things and people most important to us.  Sitting here with a freshly boosted sore arm, it is clear we are not out of the woods yet…

Back in 2020 Love Kate’s helped so many people stay connected with each other through the simple act of card sending.  Our ‘Send A Smile’ campaign helped us feel closer to loved ones we could not be with in person.   Profits from our Healthcare Heroes mugs raised £500 for the NHS.  Sending simple messages and virtual hugs inside greeting cards we all helped each other through difficult times.

In 2020 we welcomed a great many new customers, many of whom we recognise are still shopping with us online today.  Thank you to you all!

Throughout 2021 Love Kate’s has been able to continue to offer a customer focussed shopping experience with you, our customer, at the heart of everything we do.  Our small team has grown - just a little - to help us offer more cards and new gift ideas, as well as providing our popular card handwriting and gift-wrapping extras.  Our Christmas cards for 2021 were our best selection ever and I was genuinely touched to read so many positive reviews, many of which remarked upon our choice and quality of cards.  As ‘card buyer’ I’ll be ‘shopping’ for next year’s Christmas cards in just a few weeks’ time – hopefully I’ll make popular choices once again.

As Christmas is upon us, I’d like to wish all our customers, old and new, the warmest wishes for a safe and happy Christmas.  Thank you for choosing Love Kate’s and for helping us to continue to build our shop and community.

Looking forward to 2022 we will be adding some amazing new ranges.  Look out for more personalised singing Birthday cards with more names for you to choose from.  Our best-selling Pop Up Cards will include all the ages for Birthday milestone celebrations all the way up to 110 years old!  New milestone Anniversary Pop Up cards will be available for couples celebrating each and every anniversary.  Keep an eye too on our funny cards, I have some hilarious new humour cards coming soon.  As well as freshening up your old favourites, like Quentin Blake and Rosie Made A Thing,  I promise to find the best greeting cards out there.

I hand-pick every card and you can find our very best cards in our Cards to WOW! collection.

Finally, as we face more uncertainty, we are relaunching our #SendASmile campaign.  We’ve carefully selected more cards and gifts to join our ‘Send A Smile’ collection to help us all wrap our virtual arms around each other as we head into another year.  Let’s beat the January blues and show our support once more for each other.  I would like to encourage you all to send smiles in 2022.  Perhaps this would be a great New Year’s Resolution for us all?
