New Greeting Cards
We think you'll love the new designs!

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!
A card to celebrate and acknowledge all the time spent, the games and fun we’ve shared with our fathers over the years. Walter Harrison Cady, the artist of this image, was an American illustrator and author, best known for his Peter Rabbit comic strip which he wrote and drew for 28 years. He also illustrated popular children’s books by William Burgess about animals and their woodland adventures. This particular image comes from a series of craft projects published byThe Ladies’ Home Journal.
INSIDE GREETING: Happy Father’s Day!
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.
