Modern Wit Cards

Sometimes you don’t need a card that rhymes. You need one that winks.

Our Modern Wit Cards are for those moments when the occasion calls for a laugh, a smirk, or a perfectly-timed bit of cheek. Tucked into a sturdy little spinner near the front of the shop, these cards have been quietly stealing the show all season.

Each design pairs clean, contemporary illustration with the kind of clever one-liner you wish you’d thought of yourself. Birthdays, congratulations, thank-yous, “just because,” and a few that defy category entirely. There’s something here for the friend who texts in memes, the coworker with a dry sense of humor, and the family member who appreciates a well-placed pun.

What we love about them:

• Heavy, high-quality cardstock that feels substantial in the hand
• Crisp, modern artwork printed with care
• Blank interiors, so you can add your own message (or just sign your name and let the front do the talking)
• Paired with a coordinating envelope, ready to mail or tuck into a gift

We’ve watched plenty of customers stand at the rack, pull a card, and let out an actual laugh. That’s a good sign.

Grab one for the occasion at hand, or stash a few in your desk drawer for the next time life calls for the right words. Stop in and browse the spinner next time you’re wandering through Perkins Cove. The salt air is free.
