Description
A snow-laden tree fills the card, its branches scattered with tiny gold stars that drift down into the dark. It sits somewhere between a winter night and a dream. "Happy New Year" floats beneath in delicate red script. It's also the perfect card for anyone who meant to send Christmas cards and is now, technically, still on time.

Product Overview
The design is inspired by Rudolf Koivu, the beloved Finnish illustrator whose fairy-tale pictures have filled children's books and holiday postcards for over a century. This card carries that Nordic magic into every impression. Letterpress printing presses each color into soft, deckle-edged paper, so the stars and script have a depth you can feel. A single star punctuates the greeting like a quiet promise, which is about as much commitment as most New Year's resolutions get.
What Makes It Special
In Finland, an old New Year's Eve tradition is to melt a little metal, drop it into cold water, and read the future in the shape it makes, by candlelight and shadow. This card skips the molten metal and gets straight to the good wishes. Write a note to someone you haven't caught up with in a while: a New Year's card has a way of turning into a conversation.
