Christmas greetings from and with Vistaprint – This year, Christmas and the Advent season will be a little different for all of us for the first time. It's been decided that the Christmas markets won't take place – so cozy mulled wine evenings with loved ones are off the table. It's also unclear whether we'll even be able to sit in restaurants and celebrate during Advent. It's a real shame, but I'm trying to make the best of the situation, and so this year I've decided to send Christmas cards to loved ones for the first time – real mail, with a card, handwritten notes, and an envelope. That means designing and printing cards. Well, where do I get the right cards? – Ideally, personalized with my logo? They should be truly unique cards, preferably from a printing company that also provides me with high-quality marketing materials for my blog. No sooner said than done – I searched and found: I discovered Vistaprint and, at the same time, the answer to my Christmas mailing needs.
Hohoho – Christmas greetings and gifts with Vistaprint
Every beautiful Christmas card starts with good printing. And before printing can begin, the design has to be created. At Vistaprint, this is incredibly easy. That's one of the reasons I chose this printing company, because not only is the printing fast and the quality impressive, but the process is also very intuitive. Vistaprint offers countless templates, ideas, items, and options for personalized printed materials of all kinds. In my case, I wanted beautiful Christmas cards. Their selection of suggestions is extensive, offering a wide range of folded cards, motif cards, embossed cards, and postcards for the Christmas season.
I opted for two different layouts. First, a folded Christmas card featuring Santa Claus, with my own logo on the front and personal greetings inside – you choose all the text, font, and color to your liking. The second card was to be a non-folding Christmas card with gold foil stamping and also a custom design. When I saw this one, it immediately caught my eye, so I decided to create a template like this. When the recipient holds the Christmas card later, it's not apparent that the entire design isn't created; instead, only the images and desired text need to be inserted – very practical and also suitable for those who aren't tech-savvy. In the "Christmas category," there's also an "Artist Collection" offering Christmas designs from artists and designers worldwide. So, if you're looking for even more unusual cards or perhaps want to stand out from the crowd with your Christmas mail this year, you should definitely check out Vistaprint. Inspired by the simplicity and variety of the possibilities, after designing and adding my cards to the shopping cart, I immediately clicked on to the personalized marketing material.

I clicked through the categories "Advertising," "Office Supplies," and "Packaging," landing on flyers, notebooks, business cards, labels, and pens—completely my thing, like anything to do with writing, paper, and pens. To be able to personally sign my Christmas cards, I quickly added a bunch of pens designed using Vistaprint's templates to my cart. I customized them with my logo, email address, website, and a personal message. On top of that, I chose a personalized notebook, also designed with my logo and contact information, and optionally with an inside calendar. I think a custom notebook with my logo, name, and website on the cover looks really impressive and goes perfectly with my pens. 🙂 And because I couldn't do without them, I also added a bunch of redesigned business cards—there are countless templates for those, too—and after checking all the items, I clicked "Submit." After shipping, you'll receive another email with an overview of your order, and then all you have to do is wait and look forward to it.
My order has arrived!
Wow! That was fast. I had my order in my hands within 48 hours. And do you feel the same way? Opening boxes containing something nice just puts you in a good mood, doesn't it? Everything looked exactly as I had designed it online; the colors of the Christmas cards are vibrant and printed sharply. The font color I chose also matched the online display. Each individual product is packaged separately, the business cards are in little boxes, and the pens are in a small bag – so there are no bent corners on the cards. In short: I was completely satisfied with my order. So? What do you think of my choices and my layouts? Would you be happy to receive a card from me? 🙂
Conclusion: My personal opinion
I spent several hours browsing the Vistaprint website, lost track of time, and completely lost. Designing, exploring, and creating with the various products was a lot of fun; it was straightforward and worked flawlessly. So, if you need printed materials that you want to personalize but don't feel confident doing it yourself, don't worry – you'll find Vistaprint easy to use 🙂. In my opinion, Vistaprint is primarily so enjoyable because not only is the selection excellent, but the quality is too. So, thumbs up all around, and I'm off to write some cards now.
