New UAE Greeting Card business, Carded DXB Is Redefining How the UAE celebrates the special moments.

Move over, boring and expensive cards.

Carded DXB, Dubai’s newest homegrown brand, has officially launched, and it’s here to make sure that everyone across the UAE can celebrate life’s special moments with personal, locally designed and affordable cards.

Founded by Shauna Martin and Olivia Griffiths two women working in the creative industry, Carded DXB was born out of one simple idea: people in the UAE deserve better cards. Cards that reflect real humour, modern design, and the multicultural mix that makes life here unique.

“We were tired of struggling to find cards and when we did find some, nothing felt current or connected to Dubai life,” says co-founder Shauna. “We wanted to make cards that felt personal and represented what a card is supposed to do, show someone you care, whether that’s through humour or sentiment.”

With over 150 designs in its debut range, and new launches every month, Carded DXB covers everything from birthdays and weddings to new babies and just-because moments, all designed locally and printed in the UAE. The brand’s aesthetic blends bold colour, minimal design, and witty copy, and every card is priced at 18aed ensuring everyone can afford to send a card to a loved one.

For co-founder Olivia, the ability to connect the UAE’s extensive expat population with loved ones back home was another key driver behind the business. “It’s difficult right now for family and friends outside of the UAE to send their loved ones a card on their birthday, which only fuels the isolation expats can feel when they move to a new country. Carded DXB allows anyone around the world to personalise a card and send it directly to a loved one across the UAE”

With expansion plans including gift bundles and local brand collaborations coming in 2026, Carded DXB is building more than just a card line, it’s building a new culture of connection, one card at a time.
