Opportunity is Knocking!

From time to time we wander out into the warehouse and happen upon a box of something we haven't stocked in years... books or cards, journals or mirrors (yes we did mirrors once) it could be anything.

How did that get there!? We cry. We have got to get more organized! We wail. Let's sell it! We discover.

So, let our befuddlement be your opportunity. We have added a number of interesting odds and ends to our SPECIALS tab, have a look - we think you will find the oddness, the pricing and the delight all to your liking.

Happiness It's What We Do

Reviewing our recent catalog we noted that pretty much everyone is smiling, from the smiling people and animals on the greeting cards, to the merry bakers on the cookbooks, and on down the line, everyone is happy.

"We are in the happy business!..."

We said to no one in particular, who reminded us that we have a whole book devoted to that very subject, aptly titled Happiness.

In it, our founder (and a very happy man) Harold Darling tells us "what we look upon during our days contributes to our mood" and "pictures make people smile and laugh." We couldn't have put it better ourselves.

Where Does The Time Go!?

We have been cultivating the Laughing Elephant line of Greeting Cards for over 25 years.

Each year we review the list and see where we can improve by adding new cards to an occasion, to fill a gap, expand a popular design or simply refresh the line. We also add entirely new occasions as we did this year, with Earth Day on April 22nd.

This year, 2018, we have improved our Birthday card selection, added good things to Mother's Day, Father's Day & Easter, and created two cards for Earth Day.

You can be assured when you purchase Laughing Elephant Greeting Cards that they are created thoughtfully in the USA, Seattle to be specific, and are of the highest quality.
