For plantable Christmas cards, choose "seed paper" on the product page.
Yes, these Christmas cards are completely sustainable, using a choice of eco-friendly paper, and without any plastic or bad chemicals uses in the process. We also use eco-friendly packaging, so no plastic in there either (including the envelopes). They're a great eco-friendly alternative to normal Christmas cards, which tend to include a lot more plastic and use non-sustainable paper.
You can recycle the cards, or if they're made from seed paper, plant them to contribute to improving the planet. Our range includes all traditional Christmas card favourites, including Santa Clause, Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer, Snowmen, Christmas trees, and Christmas wreaths.
Plantable cards are made from seed paper, which is paper that has had wildflower and herb seeds mixed into it. This means that you can plant the paper in soil, and with regular watering, they will grow into beautiful flowers. For the best chances of germination, it's recommended to plant the cards within 2 years. You're doing your bit for the environment, including helping the bees and butterflies, with your own little meadow of wildflowers.
These cards are a great step towards reducing your plastic waste this Christmas. You can go further, by choosing paper tape, as well as plastic-free wrapping paper. The UK contribute a lot to landfill at Christmas time, so you'll be making a positive impact to reversing that trend.
