Nothing says ‘2019’ more than cultivating an obsession with succulents, ferns and fiddle-leaf figs, and the team at Stylist Loves are all proud, self-professed plant parents. Which is why we enjoy Papier’s festive Monstera card so much, designed by Bristol-based illustrator Elsa Rose Frere. Who needs a tree when you can have a Swiss cheese plant wearing baubles? £18.50 for 10, Papier

One way to guarantee your Christmas card stands out from the pack? Head to the Tate online shop, where the next generation of need-to-know artists from UAL have designed a truly original range of limited edition cards. We love everything about Francesca Adani’s vibrant window scenes – not least how they show that everyone does the season a little differently. £7.50 for 10, Tate Shop

Want to capture a different side of the festive spirit? Present & Correct have got you sorted. Somehow, this vintage-inspired token and ticket for eggnog, rum, snow and holiday cheer has us actually looking forward to that annual train journey back to our parents’ house – with a gin in a tin, packet of crisps and nowhere to put our suitcase, of course. £4.35, Present & Correct

There’s nothing that fosters a sense of community and mutual understanding like complaining about the Tube. But turn those colourful lines into Christmas trees and suddenly, we love nothing more. From Tinsel Court Road to Mornington Present, this festive spin on the London Underground map is genius – plus, a donation from every pack goes towards supporting Centrepoint charity. £3.75 for 8, Paperchase

Sometimes you want neither robins, snowmen nor mistletoe on your Christmas cards, but a cast of delightfully cheery revellers enjoying the festive spirit instead. Kate Pugsley is one illustrator whose bright, whimsical characters can’t fail to bring a smile to your face, and her ‘Joy’ greetings card – featuring some very stylish skaters – will do exactly that. £7 for 5, National Portrait Gallery
