New Letter Writing Sets
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!
One of our newer additions, this week's pick comes from the January 25, 1911 cover of Puck, the first successful humor magazine in the US, known for its colorful cartoons, caricatures, and political satire.
Illustrated by Gordon Ross and titled An Old Acquaintance, it features two mermaids engaged in gossip about their mermaid friend, who seems to be flirting with a man on a ship in the distance! Complete with details like flying fish, an embroidery project, and a seahorse hat, it's the kind of illustration that gets more interesting the longer you look.
It's the perfect pick for trying something new and unique during our 40% off everything sale!

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!

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.
