Thanks to our wonderful customers, retailers and supporters - Happy Holidays

So, that's it for 2026. 

We've had such a Damn Fine year!

Thanks to all our wonderful customers, retail partners and supporters. 

Our 2025 highlights include:

1. Seeing customer reactions
Customers sharing the sweary advent calendar flaps that made them laugh hardest. And thanks to customers who message us with feedback and customer reviews. Ding Dong! 

2. Discovering that Jane Biggs is officially the sweariest card giver in the UK
Thanks Jane. You're officially our best customer in 2026. No mum, it isn't you....and you better get your flipping debit card out when our new range drops in Jan. 

3. MAD//Fest 2025
It was hot hot HOT, but we met so many wonderful customers. They loved the bespoke card that we designed specifically for the biggest, best, friendliest marketing and advertising event and conference in the UK. Thanks Dan, Ian, Bindi and the MAD//Fest team. You ROCK!

4. Our company meetings
We know we're doing a good job when we make ourselves laugh so hard that we spit out our herbal teas. Every meeting makes us giggle and occasionally snort. Favourite 2025 agenda item was whether we should hide a naughty visual 'bead' swear to the sweary advent calendar. It made us both snort-laugh. So we did.  

5. Chats with retailers and lovely people willing to give their advice, time and support to a small business
They love the idea of shopping small, female founders, being an ethical business, making people laugh and bringing a bit of affordable, everyday joy to the world. 

6. Seeing Insta posts of our cards 'in the wild'
And hearing how much people who have received them love being told that the sender effing loves them or totally embracing being called a "Glorious Bellend" or "Cockwomble".

7. Learning more about the history of swearing and its relationship with our body and brain
We know not everyone loves swearing. But now we know why some people do. And how good swearing can be for you. We loved writing about the history of swear words, creating quizzes about swear words and studying the swear word science. And we'll continue to share what we learn with you. 

Whatever you're celebrating or doing this holiday season, we send you our love, joy and best wishes. 

We're off to have a bit of a rest and to marinade ourselves in Sherry, Quality Street, trifle and nuts. Heh heh....we said 'nuts'.

See you in 2026, when we'll show you our new range of sweary, but never nasty cards and gifts. 

Have a Damn Fine one. 

Much love,

Michelle + Emma ❤️
