THERE ARE CARD people, and then there are those who just couldn’t give a shite.
If a card is needed to tell someone how much you love them, you’re maybe doing it wrong.
Couple Gilly and Rob Duggan White made these excellent cards because they got sick of how sentimental the greeting card industry is. Over many cups of tea, the couple came up with a set of designs that you never knew you needed.
They take a unique twist on special occasions
They tell it like it is
Gilly tells DailyEdge.ie that they’ve only started out in the last two weeks, but have had “loads of interest”.
Honestly, the reason we have decided to start our own business is because there are very few opportunities in our county (Wexford). We have 4 (mad) kids, and we want to do something that will allow us to work around raising them.
We started off making them for each other, (I f*cking love you, I accept your apology). Then we moved on to making them for friends and family, mostly because the cards available in the shops never really say what we want them to say.
Don’t tell us that this isn’t way better than a Good Luck in the New House card
Or well done
We’re told that the cards are a good way in for those who don’t usually buy sentimental cards for loved ones
We have had a lot of Men, who usually don’t buy cards, place orders with us. And we’ve had a lot of interest in our cards that say Mam, instead of Mum, and Da, Nanny, Grandda Names only Irish people call their parents/grandparents.
Or, gobshite instead of beloved friend
There are cards for the words you just can’t get out
Like telling your other half they are a complete ride
You can order from their website on dugganwhite.com, and never be left picking from a mushy lot in the Hallmark section again
