    From Greeting Card to Keepsake – with Ceri Seal of Bare Cards

    In this episode of the Greener Gifting Gang podcast, I’m joined by Ceri Seal, founder of Bare Cards, who is bringing fresh thinking to the traditional greetings card industry. Bare Cards feature a unique patented design that folds and seals itself, meaning no envelope is required. It’s a clever innovation that reduces waste while keeping the joy of sending and receiving a card. We also explore the idea of reusing and repurposing, which sits at the heart of the Bare Cards concept. Thanks to their thoughtful design, the cards can be displayed and even framed as artwork, giving them a life long after the message has been read. In our conversation we talk about: The story behind Bare Cards and the innovation of their envelope-free designReusing and repurposing – from framing cards as artwork to giving materials a second lifeCeri’s own gift-giving traditions and why she especially loves ChristmasHow becoming a small business owner has changed the way she shops for gifts and supports other small businessesIt’s a warm and thoughtful conversation about creativity, traditions, and the small changes that can make gifting a little kinder to the planet.

There’s also a slightly unexpected detour into the Bath Half Marathon which Eve completed a couple of days before this aired (fun fact, the Radio Bath studio is on the route, twice!)
