This month, we’re switching things up.
Instead of our usual mix of products, April’s Staff Picks are all about one of the most underrated (and honestly, essential) parts of gifting: the greeting card. Whether it’s sweet, sentimental, or just a little bit unhinged, the right card can turn any gift—or moment—into something unforgettable.
Our team picked their personal favourites, and as you’ll see, our card selection says a lot about our personalities…
Julie’s Pick: “At Least You’re Not Ugly” Card
Julie went with a card that’s equal parts bold and hilarious. The “At Least You’re Not Ugly” card is the kind of humour that works for almost anyone—birthdays, just-because moments, sympathy or when you want to make someone laugh out loud.
It’s the ultimate “know your audience” card… but when it lands, it really lands.
Vanessa’s Pick: “Pigeon Got You?” Card
Vanessa chose a card that stuck with her long after receiving it herself. The “Pigeon Got You?” card is quirky, unexpected, and just the right amount of random.
Sometimes the best cards are the ones you can’t stop thinking about—and this one definitely fits that category.
Shifa’s Picks: Mother’s Day Cards
With Mother’s Day around the corner, Shifa picked two cards that celebrate moms in very different, but equally meaningful ways.
The “Mom, Wow” card is heartfelt and appreciative, while the “Co-Parenting” card adds a modern, relatable twist for all kinds of parenting dynamics. Thoughtful, timely, and perfect for showing appreciation in your own way.
Megan’s Pick: “Chance Made Us Coworkers” Card
Megan’s pick might raise a few eyebrows—in the best way. The “Chance Made Us Coworkers” card walks the line between sweet and sarcastic, making it perfect for workplace friendships.
Perfect for those work friendships that come with a sense of humour.
Jaidyn’s Pick: “Big Whoop” Birthday Card
Jaidyn kept it simple and playful with the “Big Whoop” birthday card. It’s lighthearted, a little cheeky, and perfect for those low-key celebrations where less fuss is more fun.
A great go-to card when you want to keep things casual but still thoughtful.
Amelie’s Pick: Birthday Parade Card
Amelie chose the Birthday Parade card, which is full of charm and celebration. With its cheerful design, it captures that classic, joyful birthday feeling—colourful, fun, and a little nostalgic.
It’s the kind of card that feels just as special as the gift you give.
Taylor’s Picks: Taylor Swift-Inspired Cards
Taylor leaned fully into her fandom with these Taylor Swift-inspired birthday cards—fun, clever, and perfect for any fellow Swiftie.
And honestly, it tracks—fun fact: Taylor Swift has been Caribou Gifts’ most listened-to artist on Spotify for the past three years. So you could say this pick is very on brand for us.
This month’s Staff Picks: Card Edition is a reminder that sometimes the smallest detail makes the biggest impact. A great card can make someone laugh, feel seen, or become something they keep forever.
