Get to Know Love Kate's: About Us

Brand Story

Love Kate’s began in 2008, when Kate transformed her garage in picturesque Cornwall into a hub of joy, sending heartfelt cards to brighten people’s days.

Fast forward to 2020, during the challenging lockdowns, and Love Kate’s was busier than ever. We launched our handwriting service to add a personal touch to every card, making sure those comforting words felt even more special. This service was a huge success, reflecting our commitment to helping people feel connected during those difficult times.

Today, over 15 years since our journey started, Love Kate’s has outgrown the garage and expanded into two large warehouses in Newquay. We’re proud to be a part of your special moments—whether it’s a 1st birthday, a 100th, a wedding, anniversaries or our favourite festive season, Christmas. We offer a wide variety of cards and gifts, perfect for every personality and occasion

"To show you care, make them smile or just because" love Kate's Slogans
We are firm believers in the significance of showing your affection for your loved ones on any occasion or just because you want to let them know how much you appreciate them. Kind words and unexpected sweet gestures can go a long way. Our passionate mission is to inspire our customers to convey their love and gratitude through sincere, handwritten cards and meaningful gifts.

Love Kate's focus is always on prioritising meaningful connections and celebrating the wonderful people in your life.

Giving The Planet A Hug

While we all love a good celebration, it's important to remember that some of the fun can come at a cost to our planet.

We do our best to find sustainable choices and work with eco-conscious brands. We use recyclable packaging and eco-friendly partyware made from paper that can be used multiple times. In the warehouse, we try to reuse boxes whenever possible and we will continue to find more ways to build on our sustainability.

As we live in Cornwall, we tend to take it upon ourselves to do a little goodwill beach cleaning and recently, especially in the summer months, we found an outrageous amount of balloons, ribbons and colourful confetti washed up or left on the beaches.

Finding these on the beach is a reminder, not to release balloons into the sky, they eventually come down as litter. Let’s enjoy our moments responsibly by keeping a close eye on our balloons and making sure to pick up all our rubbish once the fun is over.
