Even MORE NEW Letter Writing Sets– Tulips, Reader with Light, Shelf of Books and Egyptian Lotus.
Take a look at our whole selection now! There's nothing quite like a handwritten note—it's timeless, personal, and full of heart.
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!
This week’s pick comes from an early 1900s postcard!
Featuring a Thanksgiving squirrel snacking on a nut within a frame of pinecones, this charming image draws on a long association between squirrels and the autumn season. Squirrels have come to symbolize autumn abundance, resourcefulness, preparation for winter, and gratitude for nature’s bounty. In early American and Appalachian history, they were also hunted for food and occasionally featured in stews and gravies during autumn and winter gatherings!
We're excited to keep this century-old postcard design in circulation — it's a great choice for sending Thanksgiving greetings this year!
Seattle and Great Outdoors Greeting Cards
We may be biased, as we are based in Seattle and love the Pacific Northwest — But we think you'll love our new Seattle and Great Outdoors Collections!
See these cards and more created by multidisciplinary artist Cory Steffen.
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.
