Who is Raspberry Blossom?

Quite an important question. We’re a wife and husband duo who will be celebrating 11 years of running Raspberry Blossom in 2025. Primarily we have a greeting card and stationery product offering and are proud to be stocked by over 400 outlets in the UK, including some well known retailers such as Selfridges, Fortnum & Mason, Waterstones and Oliver Bonas. Our products are also distributed globally including USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Mainland Europe, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore among others.

Our designs have picked up several awards over the years including three prestigious industry accolades including ‘Best Children's Range’ (2023), ‘Best Cute Range’ (2022) and ‘Best Contemporary Trend Range’ (2020). We’re super proud of these. Even more so when there are over 500 greeting card publishers in the UK alone.

However our purpose and core focus for Raspberry Blossom is to ignite connections and spread positivity through innovative, accessible, and heartfelt products that bring smiles to the world. That’s what gets us up in the morning (that, and our two young kids!).
