great great granddaughter birthday card

cant believe in this day & age I cant buy a great great granddaughter birthday card ,I can get a b/day card for a dog or a cat its unbelieveable ,the card shops don't even sell a sticker with this on to stick on a ordinary card. I know I could get a personalised one but don't really want to go down that road.there seems to be a gap in the market for this type of card unless anyone knows where I can get one from

    Moonpig make you anything.

    I doubt there's many people with the need for one - a shop only has one space to put cards and make profit to continue to run their business. If you have a stack where only 2 cards are sold/month, then you remove those and replace it with a stack of cards that sell 2/day.
  • do not want to go down the moonpig personalised route .people are becoming grandparents & greatgrandparents & great great grandparents at a younger age than ever so surely there is a market for these cards ,card shops have cards for everything these days ie divorce cards ,cards form the bump .it baffles me what you can get a cards for but not great great granddaughter .

    Clearly not. Because if there was a market they'd definitely be selling them. Anyway, the message you write inside the card is far more important than what's on the front. You and your family know what the relationship is without it having to be on the front of the card - sending daughter/sister/grandson cards has always baffled me slightly, but each to their own.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    So ask for a Moonpig one but just don't personalise it? Like PasturesNew has said already- they will make you anything. Just ask for a card but forgo the personalisation. There are others out there who will also make cards. Not an untouched market and I've seen cards in my local Tesco Extra and Clintons before. I look at them because I lost my Great-grand parents a few years ago and it makes me think of them. Try a larger store?


    If you wanted more for your list (which Moonpig will make up a derivative of if you don't make your own (I do)) Try cards for twins, cards for a step niece, cards for a step grandparent, cards for a second cousin and cards for the daughter of a step cousin.
