Tiny Words, Big Feelings

  There’s something about how kids communicate that just hits home. Not the polished, overthought stuff adults do. I mean those tiny, honest phrases. The ones that come out unfiltered, unintentionally hilarious or just unbelievably honest and often moving. That’s the heart of Text From A Kid, and right now I’m really excited to share the sweetest launch yet: our brand new Sweet Range. If you’ve seen the rest of the collection, you’ll know it’s all about capturing real moments, real humour and real feelings. The new range makes it a little softer and sweeter. Think pastel shades like candy pink, lavender, pistachio and limestone, all paired with shiny metallic hand-foiled phrases that feel like they were lifted straight from...

The Cheeky Guide to Texting Resolutions for 2025

Forget kale smoothies and cold water swims—this year, let’s focus on resolutions that actually matter. Like how you text your friends. Because let’s be honest, your WhatsApp game could use a little work, and sending “lol or a thumbs up emoji” isn’t the connection-builder you think it is. So here are some texting resolutions for 2025—designed to keep your friendships thriving (and your group chats amusing, at least). 1. Stop Ghosting and Start Roasting Instead of disappearing for three days and pretending you never saw their message, reply with a quick roast. Nothing says, “I really care about you” like a light-hearted jab about their ridiculous takeaway guilty pleasure or their obsession with that one terrible Netflix series. Resolution: Respond...

WHY YOU SHOULD SEND A CHRISTMAS CARD THIS YEAR

  In a world of instant messages and digital overload, sending a Christmas card may seem like a quaint, old school throwback to a simpler time. But that’s exactly why it matters so much. A card isn’t just paper—it’s a gesture of thoughtfulness, a moment of connection, and a little piece of magic tucked into an envelope. Here’s why you should embrace the tradition and send a Christmas card (or ten) this year. 1. It’s More Personal Than a Text or Email Sure, you could send a “Merry Christmas” group message or slap an emoji-filled status on social media, but where’s the heart in that? A card shows you’ve gone the extra mile. You’ve chosen the perfect design, written something...

CASH CARDS: THE PERFECT GIFT FOR WHEN YOU CAN'T BE BOTHERED (BUT STILL CARE)

  Let’s face it: gift shopping is a nightmare. Any kind of shopping where you have to think of what to buy for a certain someone is a nightmare. You’ve been there—standing in the shop, mind blank, staring at random items, wandering and wondering if your cousin really needs a desktop mug warmer or another matching set of this years hat and scarf colours. Deep down, you know what they really want: cold, hard cash. At Text From A Friend, we say: ditch the faff, get them what they want, what they really, really want, (Spice Girl's ref I couldn't resist) and do it in style. Our Cash Card Collection is here to save you from gift-giving stress, with cards that...
