About Cocky Cards Co.

It started with a stupid idea on holiday.

Which, to be fair, is how most questionable decisions begin.

Back in 2025, while on holiday in Gran Canaria, I woke up one morning with an idea:

Clearly, you can see it was a good time.

Greeting cards that people actually want to give.

Not the usual fluffy shite.

Not another “Wishing you a wonderful birthday filled with joy and happiness” card that gets politely displayed on the mantelpiece for three days before meeting the recycling bin.

I wanted cards that actually sounded like the things we say to our mates, partners, brothers, sisters and family.

Funny. Rude. Sarcastic. Occasionally inappropriate.

The kind of card you hand someone and then stand there waiting for them to read it because you know what's coming.

So I came up with the name Cocky Cards Co.

The logo followed.

Social media accounts were created.

I was absolutely convinced I was onto something.

And then...

I did fuck all with it for about 18 months.

Classic.

Then I decided to actually do something with it.

The idea never really went away.

Every time I walked past a rack of greeting cards, I'd look at them and think:

“Mine would be funnier than this.”

Eventually, I stopped talking about it and decided to give Cocky Cards Co. a proper go.

There was just one small problem.

I still didn't really know what I was doing.

So naturally, I did the sensible thing...

I talked my cousin into getting involved too.

Now there are two of us who don't really know what we're doing.

Perfect.

We're learning as we go.

Designing cards. Building the website. Coming up with ridiculous ideas. Changing things. Breaking things. Fixing things. Sending each other card ideas that probably shouldn't see daylight.

And somehow, that stupid little idea I had on holiday is slowly turning into a real greeting card company.

We don't have decades of experience in the greeting card industry.

We don't have a massive corporate team sitting around a boardroom discussing whether the word “bollocks” aligns with this quarter's brand strategy.

And there's a fairly good chance we're Googling how to do something important while you're reading this.

But we do know what makes us laugh.

And that's basically what Cocky Cards Co. is built on.

Cards we'd actually buy ourselves.

That's the rule.

If we wouldn't send it to one of our own mates, partners or family members, we're not interested.

We're building a massive collection covering birthdays, relationships, weddings, breakups, new homes, new jobs, driving tests, Christmas, Valentine's Day and all the other moments in life that deserve something better than:

“Best wishes on your special day.”

🤮

Some cards will be clever.

Some will be brutal.

Some will be wholesome-ish.

And some will make you look around the room before opening them in front of your granny.

That's Cocky Cards Co.

We're only getting started.

We're building this thing from scratch.

No enormous investment.

No faceless greeting-card corporation.

Just two cousins, a slightly questionable sense of humour and an increasingly ridiculous number of card ideas.

We genuinely don't know exactly where Cocky Cards Co. will end up.

But that's half the fun.

Our goal is pretty simple:

Make cards people actually remember receiving.

Cards that get photographed.

Cards that get sent to the group chat.

Cards that stay on the mantelpiece because they're too fucking funny to throw away.

And hopefully, one day, when you're looking for a card and thinking...

“I need something that's actually funny.”

You'll think of us.

Meet the idiots behind the cards 👋

Yep. That's us.

The two people responsible for all of this.

We're cousins, we're figuring it out as we go, and neither of us had “start a greeting card company” particularly high on the life plan.

But here we are.

If Cocky Cards Co. becomes massive, we'll tell everyone this was the master plan from day one.

Please don't show them this page.

Cocky Cards Co.

Cards with attitude. Made by two cousins who probably should know better.
