Vintage Notebooks
Our Vintage Notebooks feature authentic imagery and will evoke memories of bygone days. Each is a reproduction of a vintage original. We think they will remind users of a simpler, and in some ways better, world.
Card of the Week!
"DO NOT HOLD IN HAND AFTER LIGHTING." Sage advice!
This week's card is a total knockout: a vintage fireworks label featuring a confident lady boxer mid-break between rounds.
Originally produced for "Superfine Flash Firecrackers," this label was likely part of mid-century fireworks packaging imported from China and distributed by W.L. Stewart Co., a name seen on several collectible fireworks labels.
This blank-inside card is perfect for sparking up someone's mailbox with any message that packs a punch—birthday wishes, 4th of July greetings, encouragement, or just a fiery hello!
Nice to Meet You!
We are Laughing Elephant, a greeting card and gift company founded in 1969. Our warehouse and retail store are located in Seattle, Washington, and we are the keepers of one of the largest libraries of illustrated books and ephemera in the United States. From this library, we draw inspiration and images that become the source material for all our offerings. We curate our collections with the goal of sharing beautiful images with the world.
We celebrate the golden age of design, when artists and illustrators were an integral part of advertisements and merchandising. Their beautiful, hand drawn images inspire us to make gifts and cards you will love.
