All Things Considered, You're Ageing Surprisingly Well Card | Funny Birthday Card | Sarcastic Birthday Card

Buying a birthday card gets weird once your friends hit their thirties.

You can't call them old because... well... you're the same age.

You don't want anything overly sentimental.

And absolutely nobody wants another card covered in balloons telling them that "life begins at forty."

So instead, you go for the highest compliment your friendship is capable of...

"You're ageing surprisingly well."

It's supportive.

It's backhanded.

It's exactly the sort of thing that gets said between people who've been winding each other up for years.

Perfect for:

• Best friends with a questionable sense of humour
• Siblings who'll never let each other get too sentimental
• Birthdays in your thirties, forties and beyond
• People who appreciate dry British humour
• Anyone who'll laugh before pretending to be offended

The boring but useful bits

• A5 greetings card
• Printed to order by me in my Yorkshire studio
• Printed on thick 350gsm matte cardstock
• Blank inside for your own message
• Includes an envelope
• Protected in a self-seal cellophane bag
• Colours may vary slightly from screen to print

Here's the thing...

There's a very specific stage of adulthood where your birthday messages slowly evolve from...

"Hope all your dreams come true!"

...to...

"Fair play, you're looking alright actually."

And honestly? That feels far more genuine.

I love making cards that sound like something you'd actually say to your mates, not something copied from the inside of a generic greetings card.

If your friendship is built on equal parts affection and relentless roasting, I think you've just found the right card.
