12 useful designs you always need in your card drawer
A year certainly flies by fast, and the days can seem to move quicker each time around. Have you made a New Year's resolution to be a little more organised this year?
Even if not, planning ahead is a lovely way to start the new year. Think ahead to the celebrations you know are coming, and pre-empt the ones that may crop up by surprise.

1. Anniversary Card
Whether it is your own anniversary or someone else's, it is one of those events that can occasionally slip your mind. You can choose from relationship-specific and more general anniversary cards to be prepared for the year ahead.
2. Sympathy Card
A sympathy card is never an easy card to give, but it can let someone in a deeply upsetting situation know that you are thinking of them. Because the need can come out of the blue, having a thoughtful sympathy card to hand can be very useful.
If you are not sure what to write, see our helpful guide to what to write in a sympathy card.
3. Thank You Card
Sending your thanks promptly is one of the clearest ways to let someone know how grateful you are. Keep a thank you card ready for the neighbour who watered the plants while you were away, or the friend who helped you move house.
4. Good Luck Card
Good luck cards can be sent for so many reasons, from travelling and starting a new job to heading off to university. Break the black cat superstition with this adorable Black Cat Good Luck Card.
5. Get Well Soon Card
Nothing says "get well soon" quite like a lovely bowl of soup. Send this hearty chicken soup card to someone feeling unwell as soon as you hear they are under the weather, or browse more get well soon cards to keep ready.
6. Engagement Card
It is always such wonderful, exciting news when someone you know announces their engagement. With an engagement card safely kept in your card organiser or card tin, you can be there with a thoughtful and personal message before they have even shared the news widely.
7. Wedding Card
Having a lovely wedding card to hand means one less thing to think about on top of what you are going to wear for the special day and what you are going to gift. This modern "To a beautiful couple on your wedding day" card is part of the Bright Ideas Collection and versatile enough for any kind of couple.
8. Congratulations Card
You can send a congratulations card for many reasons: a job promotion, a new business, or the sale of a new home. These occasions generally pop up by surprise, so keeping one ready helps you send your well wishes without a rush.
9. Gender-Neutral Birthday Card
We hate to admit it, but sometimes someone's birthday slips our mind. Having a birthday card that feels right for lots of different people can come in extremely useful.
10. Just to Say Card
A "just to say" card is a lovely way to reach out to someone just because, perhaps when they are having a tough time at work or home. Receiving a handwritten, thoughtful card in the post can feel far more personal than a text or digital message, so keep a just to say card close by.
11. New Baby Card
Almost every year brings new babies among friends, family, children or grandchildren. This ever-so-cute Clementine The Elephant card is perfect for welcoming a new baby into the world, and you can browse more new baby cards to find the right design.
