We know it's somewhere between Mother's Day and 4th of July...
And Boom It's upon us and we haven't got a card for our beloved paterfamilias!
This year let's get on it ahead of time with a delightful, funny, vintage Father's Day greeting card. Make Pops proud!
Custom made in Seattle WA, USA... Laughing Elephant Father's Day cards are of the highest quality just like your Dad.
We first started reproducing vintage travel stickers over 25 years ago!
And They Were An Immediate Hit
Beautifully designed and wonderfully evocative of the era they were made, Luggage Labels have been part of our product offerings every year since.
We now offer 14 different styles spanning the globe, each a little mini graphic portfolio of the region or idea it encompasses.
Order a few boxes today, and travel in Vintage Style!
Still Interested in a Little More History?
We wrote a blog post on Luggage Labels in a little more depth...
And Our Selection of Travel Greeting Cards
Our Travel themed Blank Greeting Cards make great Bon Voyage cards and make a great correspondence card as well.
With intriguing themes like Americana, European Glamour, and unique concepts such as our Aerogram Mailers, there is something for everyone to celebrate the world and the world travel with friends and family.
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.
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.
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.
