Supportive Greeting Cards

The Thoughtful Human x PAPYRUS Collection Tackles Difficult Subjects

— November 6, 2019 — Social Good
In an effort to raise awareness about cancer, addiction, and mental health, renowned greeting card company PAPYRUS partnered with startup Thoughtful Human to launch a contemporary range of greeting cards. Thoughtful Human is a zero-waste greeting card company and these supportive greeting cards eco-friendly and created without plastic on seed paper that, when planted, grow to be wildflowers.

The collection tackles these underrepresented issues to create a dialogue for those facing problems that remain highly stigmatized. The cards encourage us to embrace difficult and uncomfortable conversations to support our loved ones. Thoughtful Human co-founder, Ali O'Grady, commented: "Cards aren’t going to solve complex health and mental health issues, but actively reaching out, asking the hard questions, and creating the space for real conversations — it’s where we can all begin.”

10% of sales from select cards will be donated to pancreatic cancer research by the American Cancer Society.
