Outrageous satire greeting cards

Cards so wrong, they're evidence.

Greeting cards with zero survival instinct. Every one is a joke taken so far past the line that the line filed a complaint. You'll gasp, you'll laugh, and then you'll buy one for someone you absolutely should not. Real cards, printed on heavy stock, shipped in a plain unmarked envelope like contraband.

Every card $19.99 · shipping and handling included, fallout not

"I gave the birthday card to my boss. I now have a new boss, a new job, and a new city."

"My professor framed it. The dean did not."

Graduate · degree pending

"Read one out loud at the retirement party. Security was called, but so was the caterer, so overall a wash."

Former employee of the month
These testimonials are exactly as fictional as our sense of shame.
The Scorched-Earth Guarantee

If you chicken out, we'll take it back. Minus shipping and handling.

Mail any card back unsigned within 30 days and we'll refund it, less shipping and handling, no questions asked, some judgment implied. We know exactly who we're dealing with. And the moment you sign it and hand it over, you're on your own. We are, legally speaking, not your friends.

Why $19.99 a card?

Because no store will stock us.

A normal greeting card costs $5 because a supermarket buys ten thousand of them and parks them on a rack next to the balloons. Take one look at our catalog and you'll understand why that phone call goes badly for us. No grocery chain, no pharmacy, no mall kiosk will put these anywhere near their customers, and honestly, we respect that.

So every card is $19.99, shipping and handling included, because we do this the hard way: printed in small batches by a shop that made us sign something, packed by people who giggle the entire shift, and shipped directly to your door in a plain, unmarked envelope. You're not paying for paper. You're paying for the only distribution channel outrageous enough to carry it, which is the mail, straight to you. And a dollar of the worst ones goes to the sicko who designed it.

"Too offensive for shelves. Perfectly legal to mail."

"It's the card you'd never write yourself, sitting on their desk, in print, forever."

Satire disclaimer, please actually read this

These cards are satire, and extreme satire at that. They are jokes, written to be as outrageous as possible, and they are not statements of fact about any person, boss, professor, teacher, coworker, clergy member, or company. Nothing on a card describes a real event, and no card is directed at any real individual.

To be completely clear: workplace harassment, abuse of power, and quid pro quo demands are real problems and we do not endorse, encourage, or make light of actual misconduct. The joke is the absurdity of saying the unsayable in a glitter-adjacent greeting card, not the misconduct itself.

Cards contain adult language and themes. Intended for buyers 18 and older who know their audience. If you hand one of these to someone with no sense of humor, HR, or your grandmother, that outcome is entirely on you.
