A Crafted Christmas

"Craft is expensive, but it’s worth it when you take a moment to understand its value. Our great societal ill is that everything else is so cheap."

Hugo Macdonald (of Bard Scotland) in Wallpaper* this month

We entirely agree! From the first drawn line to the last brush stroke, every stage of our production is guided by human hands, and in an industry notorious for its throwaway nature, we design for keeps. We love to hear how people treasure and frame our pieces, becoming a little part of their everyday lives.

We believe in kindness & generosity every day of the year, so whilst you won't find us inundating you with Black Friday 'deals', you can always enjoy 6 for 5 on both cards and decorations and free UK shipping - no code required, just add six cards or ornaments to your basket.

Box of Delights

Our boxed sets of hand-painted cards are a gift all year round, with a significant economy on the retail value of the individual cards inside. By seasonal example, the Christmas Box of 30 cards is £160 (true value £215).

If everyone in the UK chose just one gift from an independent business rather than a global giant this year, then £2.6 billion would stay in the hands of makers and creative brands, a great example of our guiding principle - you are what you give.

Thank you for supporting not just Scribble & Daub, but the 750 year old Italian factory where we source our paper, the 80 year old British company who make our boxes, the incredible artisan who cuts, sews & pleats our streamers, and the third generation printing workshop who letterpress all our products - that's a lot of hands!
