Riding The Waves ‘God only knows where we’d be without you’, as The Henries awards only exist because of the verve, creativity, passion and commitment of the whole greeting card community. araphrasing the legendary Beach Boys, to the upbeat Surf’s Up, Good Cardbrations theme for this year’s Henries event. There are certainly ‘good cardbrations’ a-plenty in this room tonight, with the big wave of sunshiny love washing over all the publisher finalists who have hit the high notes with their harmonious connections with consumers through their greeting card and giftwrappings collections that we celebrate with the awards. While there are certainly some ongoing industry challenges for all of us to get in a froth about, not least riding the riptide of Trump’s tariffs, reading the crosswinds of global wars and adapting to the changing retail landscapes, we as a sector have remained buoyant. As the recent GCA Market Report testifies, the British public spent over £1.5 billion on greeting cards in the last year, now that really is something to sing about!

d n i h e B n a M The Name
Why The Henries?

06 THE HENRIES 2026
The UK greeting card industry has a lot to thank a certain Victorian philanthropist, inventor and culturist who went by the name of Henry Cole. Not only did he introduce the first ever commercially produced Christmas card – 183 years ago! – but was also a pioneer of the Penny Post (which heralded a quick and efficient postal service!) and was director of the V&A Museum which remains a source of inspiration of many of today’s greeting card creatives. With these ‘claims to fame’ he was the ideal namesake of the greeting card industry’s product awards - The Henries. It was back in 1843, finding himself too busy to write letters to all his acquaintances at Christmas time, that Henry Cole, commissioned his friend, John Calcott Horsley, a British narrative painter to design a card. This significant Christmas card features a central hand-coloured image of a family party in progress, above the greeting ‘A merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to You’ and is flanked by two much simpler images of the poor being tended. A batch of 1,000 of the cards - only 5” x 3” in size and postcard format - were printed on a lithograph stone and then hand-coloured by a professional colourer. Henry sent some of the cards to his family and friends including his personal messages of goodwill for the festive season, but the remainder of the cards he sold through a stationers shop in London’s Old Bond Street for one shilling (5p) each. There are now only around only 10 of the original 1,000 Henry Cole cards in existence - many of the cards were destroyed by the puritans of the day – known as Muggletonians - as the image depicted children drinking wine, which was considered inappropriate to Victorian sensibilities. Thankfully, one of the original cards is safe and not too far away! In December 2005 one of original cards (that has been sent to a Miss Tripsack, a close friend of the poetess Elizabeth Barrett-Browning) came up for auction at an obscure auction house in Devizes in Wiltshire. The auctioneer, Alan Aldridge, kept a promise that he had made to PG’s Jakki Brown that he would not publicise the card being up for auction to the American market. (A card Sir Henry had sent to his grandmother had been sold via the same auction house to a private US investor only a few years previously, for £22K). Determined to safeguard this precious treasure of UK greeting card history and keep it within the nation, PG’s Jakki Brown was successful in her bid for this very special Christmas card. Sir Henry’s legacy continues strongly, with hundreds of card publishers, thousands of retailers and a strong band of dedicated suppliers perpetuating the wonderful habit of buying and sending greeting cards that are reverred throughout the world.

This card, from the initial 1,000 batch, was sent to Miss Tripsack, a close friend of the poetess Elizabeth Barrett-Browning and is now owned by PG’s Jakki Brown.
More about Henry Henry Cole was awarded a knighthood for his work on The Great Exhibition by Queen Victoria in 1875. He was often referred to in the press as Old King Cole. He was known to have the close personal backing of the Queen, and especially of the Prince Consort, who when he needed a facilitator for one of his key projects, reportedly used to say: “We must have steam, get Cole.” As well as being a philanthropic civil servant, Sir Henry adopted the pseudonym of Felix Summerly for his more commercial activities. These included designing a prize-winning teapot that was manufactured by Minton. As Felix Summerly, he also wrote a series of children’s books, including A book of stories from The home treasury; A handbook for the architecture, sculpture, tombs, and decorations of Westminster Abbey (1859); An Alphabet of Quadrupeds (1844); and The most delectable history of Reynard the Fox.

s e t o V g n i t s Ca The Henries awards are the ultimate accolades in greeting card design, attracting 1,993 entries from 284 different greeting card publishers across the 20 product categories. Here, we explain the two-stage judging process, involving well over 100 retailers, to arrive at the finalists and winners of The Henries 2026. “Publishers’ engagement with The Henries 2026 was incredible with entries submitted by almost 300 companies, from established leading brands to brand new start-ups, collectively showcasing our industry’s abundant creativity,” commented Jakki Brown, managing director of Max Publishing, which owns and organises The Henries. “The two-stage judging process meant that we had retail buyers from right across the retailing landscape casting their votes, both online and in person to arrive at this year’s finalists and winners,” she added. As ever, The Henries were free to enter, making them accessible to all publishers. The first round of judging took place entirely online, which saw a judging panel made up of over 100 retail buyers cast votes to arrive at a shortlist. There were 16 shortlisted ranges in the vast majority of the product categories. These shortlisted ranges, as well as all of the submissions for The Lynn Tait Most Promising Young Designer or Artist category, featured at a physical judging event (which was held at London’s Business Design Centre) with a judging panel comprising 46 retail buyers, considering the actual greeting cards and giftwrappings and casting their votes to arrive at the finalists and winners for The Henries 2026.

Beau Bohlke–Reading, founder of Zimbloo
“I started making greeting cards five years ago as a hobby, when I was 10 years old, and since then designing has become such a huge passion of mine. I launched Zimbloo last year because I felt there was a gap in the market for eye-catching, unique, colourful, bold greeting cards. I love creating vibrant graphic patterns in my ranges, along with birthday cards that feel genuinely ‘cool’ and fresh for teenagers. Cards that pop, moments that last! Since starting, I'm proud to have sold over 4,000 cards online and at fairs, and hope to build on this in the coming years. I would love to see my ranges in shops, where I can establish a strong presence in the greeting card market. Every Zimbloo card is printed locally and designed/packaged by me from my home in Kent.” l

in-house designer of Dandelion Stationery “My creative journey really took off while studying Illustration at university. I’d done some freelance work for Dandelion Stationery, which totally hooked me on the magic of greeting cards, when a few months later I randomly spotted a Facebook ad for an in-house designer. I applied instantly! I didn't get that original job, but in the best twist of fate, the team loved my work enough to create a new junior designer role just for me. Three years later, with 12 commercially successful card ranges under my belt, I still pinch myself every day. I love this job just as much as the moment I walked through the door. When I’m not in the studio, you’ll find me painting pet portraits or immersing myself in paleoart, the detailed, scientifically accurate reconstruction of prehistoric creatures. It might sound like an unusual mix, but those fine art roots directly fuel my commercial work, bringing fine art techniques into the quirky, characterfilled illustrations on my cards! Art has always been surrounding me. Growing up, I’d watch my dad paint and marvel at the endless creative projects my auntie and grandad took on, so you could say artistic flair is just baked into our genes! I’m endlessly grateful to my family for passing down that spark and constantly pushing me to reach higher, as well as the incredible Dandelion team for filling every studio day with laughter, tea and encouragement.”

Lydia Mae, founder of LydiaMae
“I am a self-taught illustration artist who picked up a brush again following the birth of my son, and created my first greeting card after some gentle encouragement from social media followers. Inspired by nature, books, vintage, music and loved ones, my aim is to create designs that spread a little bit of happiness. For the first few years LydiaMae was a hobby business with a small following and a handful of stockists that discovered me via Instagram. Then in 2024 I decided to take the leap and opened a small studio/gift shop in Steyning, West Sussex and also booked my first trade show (Spring Fair 2025). Now LydiaMae is steadily growing. My designs are created from my original artwork using gouache paints, and all products are made in the UK as sustainably and eco consciously as possible.” l

“Growing up on a farm, I spent countless hours drawing and painting my surroundings, and that connection to nature continues to inspire everything I design. I’ve always been drawn to not just the colours of nature; but the shapes and forms that it creates too. I try to make sure that my creativity doesn’t end

with my day job. Whether I’m making cushions, patterns and prints for my home or making handmade pieces for friends and family, I love exploring different mediums, from painting, to sewing and felting, I'm especially drawn to handmade methods that celebrate imperfections and quirks. I enjoy getting lost in a creation and often… forgetting how late it is! While studying textiles at university, I did a live brief for Hallmark that led to a work placement. It really opened my eyes to the fact that I could build a career in greeting cards and actually do what I love; since then, I have joined Woodmansterne and have been able to develop as a designer; working on many different projects - designing Christmas boxes for John Lewis and exploring new products like die-cut and 3D cards. I have also had the opportunity to explore lots of new styles. I have recently moved into gifting and I’m excited to create more repeat patterns and design for many different products. I still can’t believe this is my job. I feel very lucky to pursue my passion and I can’t wait to see what comes next.”
idea a card industry existed, I just liked that there was a place for my small scale art and tiny characters to go. My art is the way I see the world, my way of expressing and processing life around me. If you lined all my cards up in a row, l'd be able to tell you a story about every single one and tell you which chapter of life I was in at the time I designed it. And if not based on personal experience, then they are inspired by witnessing loved ones going through their own milestones and hurdles, with the greetings very often being the things I would say to them. And it goes without saying, my love of animals, the outdoors and using a simple but thought-through colour palette, remains a constant driving force.'' l

Over the years, that passion naturally evolved
Two For Joy Illustration “I first dipped my toe into greeting cards 12 years ago, when I 'accidentally' got a card into Paperchase stores. I was hooked right away, although it would be another nine years, three children and two full-time job changes (and five house moves!) before I would exhibit at my first trade show (PG Live 2024). My entry for this award was a celebration of that long journey, that every stepping stone was an important piece of my story; slow and steady - and proudly so. My inspiration is a bit backwards - it's often seeing the process that helps me conjure up my ideas. My degree was in Decorative Arts, learning how things are made in all levels of production, and a career in design and buying followed, visiting factory floors over the UK and worldwide; from watching tiles being manufactured in Stoke-on-Trent, to beautiful wooden cabinets carved in front of me in India, I love learning about what's possible within the confines of the manufacturing techniques and then thinking of ideas that are a bit different, or using the techniques but in a different way. A trip to my printers recently inspired a few collections, asking lots of obscure questions helps too. I also work with a new printer for my die-cuts and I'm often on Facetime seeing how the machines work in real time.”
into a love for print and pattern design. Studying Printed Textiles and Surface Pattern Design at Leeds Arts University allowed my creativity to truly flourish, drawing inspiration from the weird and wonderful while experimenting with techniques such as screen printing, dyes, and foils. Since graduating, my career has come full circle from my first design role in greeting cards, to interior fabrics and silk accessories, and now back to greeting cards with Paper Salad. Paper Salad perfectly reflects my love for bold, vibrant colour and expressive design, combining hand-painted elements with digital creativity. Working across a variety of products and finishes gives me the freedom to explore fresh ideas, push creative boundaries, and bring exciting new concepts to life. What I love most is that we’re unapologetically bold, bright, and full of personality. Our designs are made to stand out, spark joy, and bring a smile to everyone who receives them.” l

''My journey to Little Roglets was as wiggly as any journey of life is. From project managing LEGO sculptures to interiors for superyachts, my career path has been anything short of boring! Yet I always felt like I was missing the freedom and creativity I wanted in a job. So, after years of feeling lost at a 9-5 job, and years of not doing any form of art, I have my misery at my day job to thank as it resulted in me picking up the same watercolour set I used as a little girl and I fell in love with painting all over again.

Boofle
from UK Greetings Launched: 2008 From a capsule collection of general birthday cards launched in 2008, to a multi-million cross category brand, Boofle’s trajectory has been truly incredible. The brand has had another fantastic year with an incredibly wellreceived stand at Brand Licensing Europe and record greeting card sales. Boofle’s success is driven from investment in product development, with over 500 new designs launched each year from a range of style guides, to celebrate all of life’s important moments. Whether it is a new baby, a 90th birthday, a driving test pass or supporting your team in the World Cup – Boofle is there to celebrate with you every step of the way! All of this is delivered sustainably, which is true to Boofle’s origin story of a pup knitted with love from Grandad’s old woolly cardy; Boofle really is the poster pup for reducing, reusing and recycling! However, arguably, the brand’s greatest strength is the continued ability to express emotion and connection which is, after all, the essence of a great greeting card. This is achieved through the consistent warmth and individuality of Boofle poses combined with lovely copy; in 18 years of design and patterning changes, Boofle has retained what is most important - making people feel loved.
Elle
from Belly Button Designs Launched: 2016 Each Elle design is drawn by hand, printed onto beautiful board and finished with foils and emboss to the highest standards and is printed in the UK to the highest specifications helped by forward thinking printers. The 165mm x 165mm envelope was in fact the starting point as GF Smith produced the very first envelopes in beautiful Colourplan paper and the Elle cards were made to fit the envelope.

Boofle from UK Greetings l Elle from Belly Button Designs l Fabulous from Dean Morris Cards l Flutter on the Breeze from Molly Mae l Gin & Frolics from Rosie Made A Thing l Jamboree from Paper Salad l Norbert & Val from Emotional Rescue l Words of Wisdom from Dandelion Stationery l
The board (always high quality and a soft warm white with a slight texture) reflected the handmade feel of the range and as this card size as a range has evolved over time for Belly Button. Founder and designer Rachel Hare is the driving force of this and has developed this for Belly Button over the last 10 years as Elle. Elle has been sold into multiple retailers and national accounts over the last 10 years and has many admirers and loyal followers. It is also popular with export customers too and has been printed in many languages! Its true home is with the independent card retailers, where they know it can command the shelf space while bringing in a strong margin. It has been held up as a range to follow from a design perspective and for the recipient one to keep and treasure. Elle stands the test of time as a market leader as it always reinvents itself to keep the retailers engaged with its beautiful new designs, everyday or seasonal. Elle needs to be recognised for its longevity, originality and beauty - it has stood the test of time because it is truly original and has created a 'look' which has influenced the greeting card industry for over a decade. Elle continues to evolve and is a true classic.
Fabulous
from Dean Morris Cards Launched: 2006 Fabulous has been at the heart of Dean Morris Cards since its launch in Spring 2006, setting the tone for what would become the brand’s distinctive visual and editorial style. Over the past two decades the range has built up a catalogue of nearly 600 designs, with a carefully curated selection of around 170 currently in circulation. It’s a living range; regularly edited, refreshed, and reenergised with new designs introduced several times a year. Despite this constant evolution, the original first design, “F** off back to economy”, has never left the collection. It remains there out of a mix of nostalgia, stubbornness, and because it still does exactly what it’s supposed to do. The design also earned a place in the Noughties section of the GCA’s centenary celebrations. Although the visual style has naturally shifted over time, the
The Henries Finalists 2026.qxp_Layout 1 02/09/2026 13:32 Page 23
essence of Fabulous has remained unchanged: striking retro imagery paired with concise, punchy copy. That clarity of idea is what continues to make the range feel relevant. Fabulous is often labelled as a rude range, and while that reputation is well earned in places, it doesn’t tell the whole story. Alongside the more outspoken designs sits a broad mix of playful, witty, and accessible cards that appeal to a wide audience. It’s always rewarding to see new stockists realise this and engage with the full breadth of the collection. The cheekier designs are still very much part of the range’s identity. They resonate strongly with customers looking for something less conventional. These are cards that reflect real relationships, humour, and personality rather than traditional sentiment. And if they occasionally raise eyebrows, that’s part of their charm. Some 20 years on, Fabulous remains a defining part of the business and I’m incredibly proud of its achievements and longevity.
Flutter on the Breeze from Molly Mae Launched: 2016 Flutter on the Breeze has been a bestselling range for over 10 years and has become instantly recognisable as Molly Mae, thanks to its truly distinctive look. Originally launched with just 12 spring designs, we knew from the moment that first delivery arrived that sitting alongside its smaller version, Carried on the Breeze, that it marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter for us. We only wish Instagram Reels had existed back then, because the squeal of excitement as we opened those boxes is something we would have loved to share. Our sympathy cards have long been among our best sellers, with their gentle colour palettes and thoughtful wording helping to bring warmth and comfort at the saddest of times. Some of the most popular designs within the range are the florals, featuring statement single stems of alliums, dahlias and cosmos. We take great pride in using finishes that enhance the artwork in a subtle and refined way, choosing delicate embossing and fine-detail foiling to lift the hand-drawn illustrations, allowing them to shine beautifully on both a card rack and a mantelpiece. Ten years on, the range continues to evolve. Each spring we launch new designs, with floral Mother’s Day collections remaining firm favourites among our stockists, alongside many other captions including Wedding, Baby, Sympathy and Birthday. We keep the range feeling fresh through new illustrations, subtle font refinements and gentle updates to the colour palette and still today, every delivery still feels just as exciting as the very first.
Gin & Frolics
from Rosie Made A Thinge Launched: 2015 The Gin & Frolics range launched in 2015 and won its first Henries award for humour a year later in 2016. Since then it’s won a total of eight Henries (four of which were for Best Humorous Range) and it’s still going strong today. Over the years, we’ve added new characters and lots more silliness, but the naïve style of illustration remains. The humour is relatable and moves with times. There are now 60 designs in the range.
Jamboree from Paper Salad Launched: 2018 Since its launch in early 2018, Jamboree has become the most successful range in the company’s history. It continues to perform exceptionally well both in the UK and internationally, with strong global distribution and enduring customer appeal that has never wavered. At launch, the collection stood out for its innovation and originality, becoming one of the first ranges in the market to feature such deep blind embossing combined with richly textured background finishes. What began as a small collection has since grown into a hugely successful range of over 500 designs, continually evolving while maintaining its recognisable identity. Nearly a decade on, Jamboree remains one of the publisher’s strongest performing and most commercially successful ranges, continuing to go from strength to strength year after year.
Norbert & Val
from Emotional Rescue Launched: 1994 Norbert and Val is one of the grand masters of greeting cards. First established in 1994(ish) this range went from strength to strength, storming into seasons and occasions and relations, taking no prisoners. To this day, Norbert and Val has some of the best selling designs in our portfolio. Unfortunately, its creator Mike Atkinson passed away earlier this year, but Emo is determined to carry Norbert and Val on in his memory.
Words of Wisdom from Dandelion Stationery Launched: 2014 Words of Wisdom launched in 2014 with a simple ambition: pair charming, hand-drawn illustrations with sentiments that speak the way real people actually speak - warm, witty, and occasionally irreverent. More than a decade on, the collection remains a cornerstone of our range and a consistent favourite with retailers and card-buyers alike. The collection grew out of a belief that greeting cards should feel personal, not mass-produced - show the recipient that you know them. Every design begins as a hand-drawn sketch, giving each card a distinctive, slightly imperfect character that stands apart from digitally generated artwork. From the outset it focused on contemporary language - phrases people genuinely use. Words of Wisdom has never stood still. The range is reviewed regularly, retiring designs that have had their day and introducing fresh illustrations and sentiments that reflect how life - and humour - have moved on. Topics now span everything from air fryers to menopause, keeping the collection relevant to each new wave of card-givers while staying true to the hand-drawn, tonguein-cheek spirit that defined it from the start. Captions and topics are on trend. Words of Wisdom has proven that cards with genuine personality - cards that make people smile, nod in recognition, or laugh out loud - never go out of style.

Open to: This award recognises the pivotal role publishers play in providing a good service to independent retailers. The finalists in this category were arrived at as a result of an exhaustive poll, involving 1,750 independent greeting card retail stockists, who were each asked to nominate their top three card suppliers on the service front over the last year. These responses were then correlated, awarding three points to all first choices, two points to those mentioned as second choices and one point for all third choices. These points were then totalled to arrive as the 12 finalists. There are three awards in this category – a Bronze, Silver and ultimate Gold, that will be presented to the top three scoring suppliers in the retailer poll.
