Christmas Cards & Gift Tags

A Little French Joy for Christmas

There is something particularly lovely about receiving a handwritten card at Christmas.

An envelope among the parcels. A few words written especially for you. A card kept on the mantelpiece long after the message has been read.

Malmaison’sChristmas Cards & Gift Tags collection brings a French point of view to this familiar Christmas ritual.

Discover French-inspired Christmas cards and coordinating gift tags featuringJoyeux Noël, Parisian references, festive wreaths and playful French details, designed to add something personal to gifts sent near and far.

Selected Malmaison Christmas cards are designed and printed in Australia, bringing together our love of France with the simple pleasure of putting pen to paper.

Say Joyeux Noël

Joyeux Noël is the French way to say Merry Christmas.

It is also a small phrase that immediately brings a little French character to the festive season.

Across Malmaison’s Christmas stationery, Joyeux Noël appears alongside illustrations inspired by Paris, French style and traditional festive imagery.

Choose a card for a Francophile, someone with fond memories of France, or simply someone who will appreciate a Christmas greeting that feels a little different.

The message inside can remain entirely your own.

Christmas Cards Designed to Be Personal

A beautiful Christmas card should leave room for the most important part: what you want to say.

Selected Malmaison Christmas cards are blank inside, giving you space for a short festive greeting, a longer handwritten note or a message that is personal to the recipient.

Some cards may accompany a gift.

Others may travel across Australia or overseas to someone you will not see this Christmas.

And some are simply given because a handwritten note can say more than another message on a screen.

That is why we still believe Christmas cards matter.

French-Inspired Christmas Cards

French inspiration can take many forms at Christmas.

The Eiffel Tower beneath a festive greeting.

A playful Frenchie wishing someone Joyeux Noël.

A simple wreath paired with French words.

Designs that bring a subtle reminder of Paris or France without becoming souvenir-like.

Malmaison’s Christmas stationery reflects the same approach as the rest of our collection: French influence should feel natural, thoughtful and easy to live with.

For someone who loves France, a card can become a small part of the gift itself.

Christmas Cards Designed & Printed in Australia

Selected Malmaison Christmas cards aredesigned and printed in Australia by Malmaison.

Our French-inspired designs bring together the places, words and visual details we love about France with stationery created for Christmas celebrations here in Australia.

That combination feels particularly true to Malmaison.

French in inspiration.

Australian in creation.

Boxed Christmas Cards for Sending More Than One

Some Christmases call for more than a single card.

A set of Christmas cards is useful when sending greetings to family, friends, neighbours, colleagues or people you may not see over the festive season.

Malmaison’s Joyeux Noël Christmas card set brings several French-inspired designs together, making it easy to choose a slightly different card for each recipient while keeping a consistent festive theme.

Keep a set at home and the cards are ready when you remember one more person you would like to write to.

Christmas Gift Tags with a French Touch

The finishing detail on a wrapped gift does not need to be elaborate.

A beautiful ribbon and thoughtfully chosen gift tag can be enough.

Malmaison’s Christmas gift tags include French-inspired and festive designs created to sit naturally with simple wrapping, ribbon and gifts from the wider Malmaison Christmas collection.

Matching or coordinating a card and gift tag can give a present a more considered finish without making everything feel overly arranged.

Most importantly, write the recipient’s name.

The smallest personal detail is often the most important one.

A Thoughtful Finishing Touch to a Malmaison Gift

A Christmas card becomes especially meaningful when paired with a gift chosen specifically for the recipient.

French glassware for someone who loves entertaining.

Tea for a quiet Christmas afternoon.

A candle or home fragrance for the home.

A French tea towel for the Francophile.

A small Sweet Petit gift that simply says you were thinking of them.

Explore our Christmas Gifts for more festive gift ideas, then add a card or tag to make the gift personal.

Christmas Cards for Friends & Family Far Away

Not everyone gathers around the same table at Christmas.

For family and friends who live interstate or overseas, a handwritten Christmas card can become a small physical connection across the distance.

Write about the year.

Share a memory.

Send wishes for Christmas and the year ahead.

The card does not need an elaborate message to matter.

Knowing that someone chose it, wrote in it and sent it specifically to you is often enough.

For the Francophile at Christmas

For someone who loves France, even the finishing touches can carry a little French character.

A Joyeux Noël card alongside French glassware, a Durance fragrance or a Tissage Moutet tea towel creates a gift with a coherent story without needing everything to match.

The French connection is there in the detail rather than in novelty.

Explore Gifts for the Francophile for more ideas.

Cards, Tags & Beautiful Gift Presentation

Beautiful wrapping does not have to be complicated.

Choose paper or a gift bag that suits the present.

Add ribbon if you wish.

Finish with a gift tag carrying the recipient’s name.

Then include a handwritten Christmas card when you want to say something more.

For cards and stationery beyond the festive season, explore our Greeting Cards & Stationery collection.

Sometimes the finishing touches become part of what the recipient remembers.
