Sidepony’s holiday collection features humorous cards designed and screen-printed by owner Kim Russell. The cards are filled with snarky holiday-themed messages — such as “did you spike my eggnog?”, “happy festivus,” “rock the halls,” and “hope your holiday isn’t frigid” — giving the chilly winter weather a bit of a kick. Additionally available are custom holiday cards. Both stock and custom cards can be shipped anywhere and are made from 100% recycled paper and non-toxic ink. Sidepony’s wholesale and retail merchandise is available for purchase online and in select stores across the U.S.
