Gift Focus - Sep/Oct 2018 (Issue 109)

Molly Mae has recently added two condolence cards to its new Botanical Garden range, and each design features a gorgeous lush plant in cleverly foiled shades of green with simple wording that delivers the right message at a sad time. These are proving to be popular with customers, so more designs for this collection will be launched this autumn. As Molly Mae sympathy titles are received so well, the Carried On The Breeze range will also be extended – these beautiful, subtly designed and well-considered sympathy cards are among some of Molly Mae’s bestsellers.
