This collection shines a light on relationships that go beyond traditional family ties. These influences remind us that being a father figure is about love, commitment, and support. With our research showing that 51% of Americans consider someone outside of their biological family to be "like a dad," these cards celebrate the coaches, mentors, step-parents, extended family members, and close friends who step into this important role. And with 18.3 million children in the U.S. growing up without a father at home, our new collection honors the many ways love and family can take shape.
Our limited-edition ‘Father Figures’ collection features a variety of designs that reflect the many ways families come together — from found families forged through life’s adventures to the heartening dynamics of blended households. Each card tells a story of profound connection, celebrating father figures beyond biological relationships, recognizing the love shared by same-sex adoptive parents, and honoring mentors and supportive wider family. With personalization options that make it easy to add photos, AI generated stickers and craft a heartfelt message, these cards offer a meaningful way to celebrate the extraordinary people who help shape our lives.
