Nanas have been unfairly stereotyped for years.
Apparently they are supposed to spend their time knitting, making tea, asking if you have eaten enough and producing an endless supply of biscuits from a tin that definitely contains sewing equipment.
Some of them do all of that.
Some of them are also absolute legends.
The kind of nana who has seen every family scandal unfold and somehow knows the details before everyone else. The kind who can tell you exactly what she thinks, even when nobody asked. The kind who slips you money and then tells you not to tell your mother, despite the fact that your mother is standing three feet away.
That nana deserves a card with a bit of attitude.
Enter the Class Nana Greeting Card from Fairly Quare Designs.
It is simple, funny and gets straight to the point. No sentimental essay. No glitter explosion. No awkward poem about how nanas are angels sent from heaven.
Just Class Nana.
Which, when you think about it, is probably the highest compliment you can give someone.
Because “class” covers a lot.
It means she is brilliant.
It means she has style.
It means she is great craic.
It also leaves enough room for the possibility that she once told someone to fuck off in circumstances where they absolutely deserved it.
The card costs €4, making it an easy addition to a Mother’s Day present, birthday gift or little surprise for your nana when you feel like reminding her that she is still the coolest person in the family.

And this is not some flimsy card that looks as though it has been printed in the back room of a shop that also sells lottery tickets. It is printed on 230gsm coated cardstock and comes with a 120gsm envelope. The card is designed, printed, assembled and packed in house by Fairly Quare Designs, which gives it that small business touch you simply do not get from mass produced cards. (Fairly Quare Designs)
There is also a 3 for €10 offer across all greeting cards, with the discount automatically applied when you add three cards to your basket.
Which is handy because families have a habit of producing multiple occasions at once.
Mother’s Day.
A birthday.
Someone's anniversary.
Someone's new job.
Someone finally passing their driving test after approximately 46 attempts.
Before you know it, you are buying cards like you are running the stationery department of a small business.
At least you can make them good ones.
And that is really the appeal of this card. It does not try too hard. It feels like something you would actually say to your nana.
There is affection in it without all the syrup.
Because the best relationships are rarely perfectly sentimental. They are built around teasing, stories, shared jokes, unsolicited advice and someone telling you to take a coat when you are already halfway out the door.
Your nana might be the person who feeds you until you physically cannot eat another bite.
She might know your entire family history.
She might still ask when you are going to settle down.
She might have absolutely no idea what TikTok is.
She might secretly understand it perfectly and simply choose not to tell you.
Whatever your particular nana is like, Class Nana has the right amount of cheek.
So this Mother's Day, skip the card that says something vaguely emotional in a font nobody can read and give your nana something that actually sounds like you.
