I always bought my daughter a horsy one, usually from a shop selling horse equipment. Such shops also sell lovely horsy stocking fillers which my daughter used to love.

I used to find it harder to buy boys cards for mine who were not sporty!

Perhaps try Moonpig? You can make your own using their easy templates with designs to choose from or make one using photos of you and granddaughter which would be even more special.

Moonpig, Funky Pigeon, Etsy, Amazon and more online stores. M&S. Tesco, Hallmark? Plenty to find. The carrot eating horses are from Getting Personal. I rather like that one myself smile

Amazon is your friend in this situation. Delivered next day.

And paper cards are going out with our generation too.

There are lots of cards that just have pictures of birthday cakes, or balloons or glasses of champagne.

Looking for a birthday card today, I struggled to find a gender neutral one for my granddaughter who now identifies as non - binary, if I’ve got it right.
Moving away from any specific designation, even then I struggled. Nothing floral would suit, and though they are very sporty, they don't enjoy cricket or football. I looked for a horse but couldn't find one. I have exhausted my local shops.
I also struggle for other relatives who don’t fit the usual stereotypes.
Come on, card designers!
