Picking out beautifully designed Christmas greeting cards is fun. Unless it’s the day before Christmas and you’re scrambling every store looking for a batch of cards, hoping you’d post them on time – then it’s just stressful.
Thankfully, we live in an era where greeting cards are accessible at just one click of a button. Send some ho! ho! ho! this holly jolly season at the comfort of your couch with these customisable e-cards – for free, no less.

From Christmas to birthdays and beyond, Open Me offers fully customisable greeting cards for every occasion. Once you register for its free membership, you’ll gain access to thousands of free e-cards.
Choose from existing templates or upload your own photos and let your creativity loose – you can even design and send as many cards as you’d like. When you’re done, send your e-cards to friends and families via email or Facebook. If you’d rather send them out at a later date – or year even – go ahead and hit schedule.
Blue Mountain caters to a crowd who’s into something more interactive than a normal e-card. Looking for a card with a talking moose? Easy. Dreaming of customising the lyrics of a Christmas song on a musical card? Done.
By signing up for a free seven-day trial, you’ll be able to create and send as many funny cards as you’d like. Plus, there’s an option to amp up your greeting card game by adding a gift card from retailers like Sephora and Starbucks to it. The value of the gift card can be anywhere from $10 to $500.

Paperless Post might not exactly be paperless since it offers both premium e-cards and printables, but we’re not complaining. The company partners up with brands like Kate Spade and Anthropologie to produce some of the most exclusive greeting cards for all occasions, Christmas included.
However, do note that these aren’t free. Kate Spade Christmas cards, for example, start at two “coins” – which is about eight cents. How much it costs in total depends on how many people you’re sending the card to.

Out of the four Christmas cards available, we think the Orangutan card will definitely be a big hit among the kids. Plus, they’re free and easy to make with the whole process probably taking a minute or less. Simply choose a design, fill out your notes, schedule a date for the card to be sent out, and you’re done. No crazy amount of editing is needed here.
You know what they say. Sometimes, less is more.
If you still can’t get enough, the website also has cards for other holidays like Chinese New Year, Hari Raya and Deepavali.
