<p class="p1">My anglophile tendencies have been in high gear this week as the U.S. has hosted Prince William and Kate Middleton, currently <a href="http://jezebel.com/kate-middleton-gives-side-eye-like-only-a-princess-can-1670138154" target="_blank">the reigning queen of side eye</a> — but British stationery design is always so intriguing, and <a href="http://www.bigjon.co.uk/" target="_blank">Big Jon</a> is part of the reason why!</p>
<p class="p1">Check out their ultra-mod <span class="s1">Cracking Jokes</span>, Based off traditional U.K. Christmas crackers, those bursting backgrounds are really fun!</p>

<p><a href="http://www.bigjon.co.uk/" target="_blank">Big Jon</a> is having a big &#8216;ol sale, it&#8217;s totes ridic in fact: 50% off of five cards or more with the code <span class="s1">BIGJONSALE. <span class="s1">S</span>hipping to the US via The Royal Mail is £3.50 (about $5.50) per every four cards. The 50% off discount wipes that shipping charge out and still takes some more off the top, so it&#8217;s equivalent to free shipping + a little discount. </span></p>
<p><span class="s1">These make great gifts, or you can stock up for next year — although</span> the Royal Mail is pretty fast. Big Jon&#8217;s Portland contact told me that every time he&#8217;s sent something to her, she&#8217;s gotten it in 2-3 days. To be on the safe side however, allow 7-10 days for delivery. There&#8217;s a lot of everyday great design packed into Big Jon&#8217;s site as well — it&#8217;s definitely worth taking a look around!</p>
