The news has been awash with negativity recently, and there’s no doubt that the world could really do with a bit of extra happiness. According to the writer Mark Twain, “The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up”. With that in mind, we’re encouraging you to share a little love with your friends and family this week - for no reason at all. We’ve rounded up ten of our favourite non-special occasion greetings to inspire you…

2. A friendly hello

What better way to show you appreciate someone than a card that encourages them to sit down and relax with a cuppa? Bonus points if you team it with their favourite biscuits.

If you know someone who's having a tough time, this beautiful 'Best wishes' greeting will let them know that they're in your thoughts.

The problem with birthdays is that they only come around once a year! For the other 364 days, mark their unbirthday instead with this quirky creation.
