What is Thinking of You Week?

Thinking of You Week is the week that sees people across the world send cards to friends, loved ones, work colleagues, neighbours to say hello, thinking of you, share a joke or just to reach out and connect.

ToYW was launched in 2014 by the UK Greeting Card Association. The event quickly gained traction and is now a popular national occasion that has spread to other parts of the world including the USA, Australia and New Zealand. The week is actively promoted by many high street retailers including CardzoneScribblerSainsburysCard FactoryTesco, Blue Diamond, Asda, Clintons, Scribbler, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, House of Cards, Stationery Supplies, Co-op and Moonpig and over 1000 independent retailers.
