# Wooden Postcards DIY Wood Carvings As Mail By Cowbag | Published 2008-02-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-postcards References: [suck.uk](http://www.suck.uk.com/product.php?rangeID=91&search_text=valentine&showBar=1) Suck UK have done it again with these awesome [Wooden Postcards](http://www.suck.uk.com/product.php?rangeID=91&search_text=valentine&showBar=1). Made from [solid soft wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-serving-board), you simply carve your own message into the front, then post off as a normal postcard. I think the concept rocks, or I wouldn't post it on here. However, I am less than artistic and at £7.50 each I am worried a [wooden postcard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postcards-from-peets) would turn out to be a £70 postcard by the time I had managed a design I was happy with. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **DIY Postcards:** There is an opportunity for businesses to create more DIY postcard materials for users who want to showcase their creativity. - **Personalized Cards:** Introducing a line of personalized cards can be a disruptive innovation opportunity for businesses with a focus on the greeting card industry. - **Eco-friendly Greetings:** Businesses can create eco-friendly greeting cards made from biodegradable materials or recycled paper with a focus on sustainability. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Stationery and Paper Goods:** Businesses in the stationery and paper goods industry can create more innovative, customizable and eco-friendly products to cater to customers' unique needs and preferences. - **Artistic Tools:** There is an opportunity for businesses in the artistic tools industry to develop new and innovative tools for carving personalized messages on wood, allowing individuals of all skill levels to showcase their creativity. - **Tourism:** Businesses in the tourism industry can create unique postcard designs made from local and sustainable materials to sell as souvenirs, providing a more eco-friendly approach to traditional tourism products ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Postcard Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-postcard.md) - [Immersive Greeting Card Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anything-roots-post.md) - [Customizable Marketing Postcards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartpress.md) - [Wood-Crafted Eco-Friendly Crayons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-crayon.md) - [Print-and-Play Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postmark-games.md) - [City-Focused Postcard Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postcard-series.md) - [Alphabet DIY Gardening Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/succulent-letter-diy-kit.md) - [Convenient Online Greeting Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-tree-cards.md) - [DIY Wooden Pinball Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-wooden-puzzle.md)
