In this time of global crisis, now more than ever we need to stay in contact with family, friends, work colleagues and customers. Most people are following the advice to isolate or keep a social distance, so giving or posting greeting cards is no longer possible or as easy.
In those circumstances sending an e-card is the answer, if you need to send someone one of our Birthday Ecards, whether they are near of far, it will be delivered anywhere to their email inbox in minutes.
Send your appreciation with a Thank You Ecard, a Hello Ecard or send a design from new categories Sympathy Ecards and Thinking of You Ecards, for anyone who has recently been bereaved or who just needs a lift.

As the world is struggling to grapple with the coronavirus pandemic, we all still need to stay in contact with Family and friends, probably now more than ever.
Many countries including the United Kingdom have gone into lockdown which requires citizens to stay at home and only go out for essentials and emergencies. Life goes on and there is still the need to send greeting cards, therefore Ecards are the best and safest solution. Free Ecards can be sent online from your home without the need to venture out to shops to purchase printed cards, nor out again to post them. There were also suggestions that the Covid 19 virus can survive on card and cardboard, according to sciencedaily.com it can be actively carried for up to 24 hours on cardboard.
The last thing anyone would want would be to send their friends or family the virus on a printed greeting card, so why not send an Ecard instead?
We have just added two new Ecard categories, Sympathy Ecards to send to the recently bereaved and Thinking of You Ecards to send for many reasons or just to say ‘Hello’. These of both free Ecard categories, as are 80% of the Ecard designs on our website. Birthday Ecards, Christmas Ecards and New Year Ecards require a small fee to send, but there are over 800 free Ecards to send as many times as you like.
As a new decade rolls closer and closer we wanted to design something with a bang for the New Years. Our latest static New Year Ecards bring a bit of class to inboxes this winter.
Get ready for the year ahead and be the first in your clients’ inbox to wish them a Happy New Year!
Our elves have been hard at work this Christmas so much so they are still churning out beautiful Christmas Cards for those special inboxes today just a few days for Christmas.
None the less we feel like this might be some of the nicest Christmas Ecards available on the whole wide web, in fact, they might be someone of the nicest Xmas Ecards we have ever seen!
So before you finish the Christmas, Say Hello to somebody today with Ecard Mint.
Send Christmas Cards now guaranteed to turn up, unlike the Christmas post!
As another Christmas is just around the corner, it’s time to get creative with how we manage our waste over the festive period. Here at the Ecard Mint headquarters, we fancy ourselves pretty knowledgable when it comes to all things Christmas so we have put together a list of our favourite Eco-Friendly Christmas Decor for a greener, more sustainable Christmas.
1.Dried Orange Decorations | A Timeless Christmas Classic – 6 Hours including Cooking!
What you will need to make this zesty decoration.
1 Orange (Per Decoration)
Some string
A handful of Cinnamon sticks
A cup of Cloves
1 Skewer
First, you will slice your orange into pieces that are about half a centimetre thick. Please remember the thinner the slice, the quicker the drying time will be.
Next, take your skewer or any kind of stick and create a hole right at the top of the slice. Remember you have to thread your string through the hole so make sure it’s big enough!
Next, put the orange slice with a hole directly onto the metal rack rather than a baking tray. Put the oven at 60* for up to five hours. Once they are fully dried out, leave them overnight for good measure.
Now to time to decorate. Push the cloves into the slice in a decorative fashion around the edges of the slice.
Thread the string. tie a knot. Then repeat on each one to change the length of the garland. Add some cinnamon sticks in between the slices to finish!
The National Trust has made a super easy to follow video on this – <a href=”http://nationaltrust.org.uk/features/how-to-make-scented-orange-slice-tree-decorations”>watch here</a>.
2. DIY Wrapping Paper | Think Reusable – 1 Hour including wrapping!
Wrap your Christmas presents the eco-friendly way this year.
Bows and ribbons can make your Christmas gifts look glorious, but concerns are growing that these Christmas trimmings could be harming the planet. This concern is so great that when Hobbycraft released their Christmas craft trends for 2019 they reported a rise in eco-conscious craft makers seeking out materials to make homemade Christmas gift-wrap and tags.
You will be surprised by how much alternative wrapping paper is just sitting around the house, below we have listed some of Ecard Mint’s favourite eco-friendly wrapping paper solutions!
Maps from old magazines, leaflets from past museums and attractions or just an out of date A-Z Roadmap could be used… Plus the older they are, they will have that vintage look that it’s so popular today.
Fabric – That’s right old pieces of fabric, they are easy to customize – use a furoshiki-style knot to fasten it for something a bit fancier.
Free and easy, ask your local store for some older editions or even Foreign language newspapers and comic sections for something a little different.
Consider wrapping your gifts with reusable wrapping materials and decorate them with a spring of holly instead of using throwaway tags and ribbons.
