Our brand name is Flying Twigs, and we are a greeting card company based in Cambridge, designing and selling greeting cards.
To give you an idea of where we are located, the scene in this photograph, shows College buildings and punts on the River Cam, and is about a mile from our office. And yes, we took the photograph.
Eco-Friendly Cards
Our policy is to be as environmentally conscious as possible. So we have our cards printed by UK specialist printing firms that use materials sourced and certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. This is the logo our printing firms display to certify they are registered with the Forest Stewardship Council. What it means is that they only use card stock from responsibly managed and sustainable forests, and they never use materials from illegally logged trees.
When you purchase FSC-labelled products, you’re helping forests by supporting zero deforestation, and you are helping forestry workers thrive with a fair wage and safe working environment.
Wide Selection
We take the approach that people are different, and what appeals to one might not appeal to another. So we offer a wide and diverse range of nearly 400 greeting cards. We offer cards for various occasions, including everyday cards for when you just want to say hello to a friend.
Same-Day Dispatch
To ensure timely delivery for customers, we offer same-day dispatch by first class mail for orders placed by 2:00 pm weekdays. Orders placed at the weekend go out Monday at the latest. We only dispatch to UK addresses.
Accessible Website

- The ‘zero grazing’ policy of livestock management;
