Best Funny Greeting Card Websites in the UK
Looking for a funny greeting card online sounds easy enough.
Then you open a few card websites, scroll through hundreds of options, and realise half of them are either too sweet, too safe, too generic, or trying so hard to be funny that it becomes a bit painful.
If you’ve searched for cards before, you’ll probably already know names like Moonpig, Thortful, Scribbler and Funky Pigeon. They’re some of the big card websites people naturally look for when they want to send a card online.
But if what you really want is a card that actually makes someone laugh, it’s worth thinking about what kind of funny card you’re looking for — and whether a smaller, more focused card brand might be a better fit.
What makes a good funny card website?
A good funny card website is not just about having loads of cards. Choice helps, but only if the cards are actually worth choosing from.
The best funny card sites usually get a few things right:
- The jokes feel current. Not every card needs to be about the latest meme, but the humour should feel fresh rather than dusty.
- The designs are easy to read. A funny idea can fall flat if the card looks messy or the text is hard to see.
- The tone fits the recipient. Some people want rude. Some want cheeky. Some want funny but still safe enough to send to Nan.
- You can personalise the card. Being able to add your own message makes the card feel less like a panic purchase.
- You can send it direct. Useful when you remember the birthday, Father’s Day or anniversary slightly later than ideal.
The big card websites people already know
There are a few big names that come up again and again when people search for cards online.
Moonpig
Moonpig is probably one of the best-known online card brands in the UK. People often use it when they want a wide choice of personalised cards, photo cards and gifts.
It can be a good option if you want a familiar site with lots of choice. The trade-off is that, because the range is so broad, finding a card that feels genuinely different can sometimes take a bit of digging.
Thortful
Thortful is known for its marketplace-style approach, with cards from independent creators, illustrators and photographers.
That can make it a strong option if you want a card from an independent designer or a broader creative marketplace. As with any large marketplace, the experience can involve scrolling through lots of styles before you find the one that feels right.
Scribbler
Scribbler has long been associated with funny greeting cards, cheeky designs and gifts.
It can work well if you want humour with a more high-street card-shop feel. The style is often bold, cheeky and broad, which may suit some recipients more than others.
Funky Pigeon
Funky Pigeon is another well-known UK card website, especially for personalised cards, photo-upload cards and gifts.
It can be useful when you want something personalised and practical. If your main priority is sharper humour or a card that feels less generic, it may be worth looking beyond the biggest sites too.
So where does Gigglz fit in?
Gigglz is smaller, newer and more focused.
We’re not trying to be everything to everyone. The aim is simple: funny cards that feel current, cheeky, readable and giftable.
That means cards for people who want something a bit sharper than the usual safe option, but still polished enough to actually send.
Think:
- funny birthday cards
- belated birthday cards for when you absolutely did forget
- Father’s Day cards for dads who can take a joke
- cards that are cheeky without being horrible
- cards you can personalise and send direct

Big card site or smaller funny card brand?
The best choice depends on what you need.
If you want the biggest possible range, one of the larger card websites may be the obvious place to start.
If you want photo cards, big gifting options or a very familiar checkout experience, sites like Moonpig, Funky Pigeon, Thortful and Scribbler may all be worth comparing.
But if your priority is finding a card that feels funnier, more specific, less bland or a bit more “that is exactly him”, then smaller brands like Gigglz are worth a look.
Sometimes the best card is not the one from the biggest website. It is the one that sounds most like the person you’re sending it to.
Best if you want a card that actually makes them laugh
At Gigglz, the focus is humour first.
You can choose a card, personalise the inside, and either send it direct to the recipient or send it to yourself with a spare envelope.
Useful if you’re organised.
Even more useful if you’re absolutely not.
Final thought
Moonpig, Thortful, Scribbler and Funky Pigeon are all well-known names in online cards. For lots of people, they’ll do the job.
But if you’re looking for something a bit cheekier, sharper or less predictable, it’s worth trying a smaller funny card brand too.
Start with the person you’re buying for, then choose the card that feels most like them.
Or, if in doubt, choose the one that makes you laugh first.
