Chuckle-worthy cards for everyone on your list
There are a lot of cards out there in the world, but I would venture out to say that these altered vintage art cards are unique!




For the foodies and chefs
You might be familiar with the famous Latin saying "Veni, Vidi, Vici", commonly attributed to Julius Caesar? You know, the man who invented the caesar salad? Well, little-known fact... Caesar was misheard. Voracious foodie that he was, he didn't actually say "I came, I saw, I conquered", but rather "I came, I saw, I ate"! Just kidding. But maybe?


For the crafters
The crafty person in your life might love a bit of art to zhuzh their space. Paraphernalia #2 is a painting of a pair of vintage metal scissors and is edgier than the landscape paintings of fields and rivers they have currently adorning their walls. Also available as stationary for all their writing needs.




For the gardeners
Everyone gets them botanical art. Why not take a fresh approach with this herbal motif? Most gardeners I know partake. Also could be a great gift for the Francophile in your life, since it's modeled after a photograph of a very suave Frenchman. Also available as stationary!




For the teenager
That jaded teen who seems to be devoid of all expression other than boredom? They could use a startling gift, right? Gift this fish piece just to see the look on their face. But also, they might love it.


For the beach lover
For those dreaming of warmer days, sand, and tans... show them you care about the skin they're in with this artful sunscreen reminder. Remind them also that they should really be applying in the winter too ;)


For the New Year resolution junkies out there
Aristotle mused that there were three basic human activities: "theoria" (thinking), "poiesis" (making), and "praxis" (doing). Corresponding to these were three types of knowledge: "theoretical", the end goal being truth; "poietical", the end goal being production; and "practical", the end goal being action. "Praxis" is putting theory into action. This abstract piece is a reminder that resolutions don't fulfill themselves!
