SE A S ON: YE AR:
HELLO SPRING! Dear friends, You may have heard that in January 2018, Emily McDowell Studio merged with Knock Knock and People, Places & Things to create the Who’s There Group: three separate brands under one umbrella, sharing resources and brainpower, and creating efficiencies that we can pass along to you (which you’ll even see in this catalog!). With the merger, I personally became a partner in the Who’s There Group, continuing to run and create the Emily McDowell Studio brand. I’m as committed as ever, and I’ve never been more excited about our future. There’s so much good stuff in the works. This catalog right here is a queen among catalogs. It’s our biggest release ever, including lots of new gift piecetypes, line extensions of our bestselling gift categories, lower prices on mugs, snazzy new mug packaging, new visual directions for cards, a revamped display program… this sentence is getting too long to keep going, so you’ll just have to see it for yourself. If you’ve been along on this ride with us for a while, thank you for sticking by us through multiple forwarding addresses these last couple of years. This officially concludes the “whiplash” era of our business. If you’re new to our brand, welcome! Our goal with all our products is to take universal, emotional truths about being human and turn them into products that help people feel understood. We make greeting cards for the relationships people really have, and we specialize in helping folks find the right words during tough times. Welcome to our Spring 2019 catalog. We’re very happy you’re here.

E M I LY MC D OW E L L S T U DIO ’ S bestselling cards celebrate the relationships we actually have. We’re proud to say that our cards have gone viral more times than we can count, not to mention selling like proverbial hotcakes.
e lo p e! v n e t f a r k Ou r
When we released Empathy Cards, we were stunned at the reaction: we sold out within hours. The cards resonated so deeply with folks around the world, they were covered in the media in 15 countries. They’re still our bestselling card category. For those retailers who “got” (and got!) these cards, their customers couldn’t get enough of them. It turns out people need far more nuance and variety than stock “Sorry for your loss” statements. We all have things like breakups and cancer and depression and death in common. These hard situations, even more than the happy times, are when cards are most meaningful and appreciated. This season, we’re branching out with two new styles: Gem Pin Cards, both card and gift with their gold-bordered enamel pins, and Photo Cards, which begin to evolve our look and feel beyond illustration. Retailers often tell us that when they hear customers laughing or calling friends over, they know without looking that they’re standing in front of the Emily McDowell Studio display. Our cards say all kinds of things, but they all make customers say, “This card totally gets me.”

A B O U T E M PAT H Y C A R D S SUPPORT FOR SERIOUS ILLNESS & LOSS Most of us struggle to find the right words in the face of a friend or loved one’s crisis, whether it’s cancer, chronic illness, a major loss, or anything else. It’s a really tough problem; someone we love needs our support more than ever, but we don’t have the right language for it. As a cancer survivor, Emily has a very personal stake in this game. She was diagnosed with Stage 3 Hodgkin’s lymphoma at age 24. After 9 months of chemo and radiation, she went into remission and has been incredibly fortunate to be cancer-free since. For Emily, the most difficult part of her illness wasn’t losing her hair, or being erroneously called “sir” by Starbucks baristas, or sickness from chemo. It was the loneliness and isolation as close friends and family members disappeared because they didn’t know what to say, or said the absolute wrong thing without realizing it. 36
Emily created Empathy Cards to give people some different, more authentic ways to communicate about illness and suffering. These cards have touched a nerve worldwide; they have been featured on over 300 media outlets, including Good Morning America, NBC Nightly News, the New York Times, National Public Radio, and the Huffington Post. Millions of people have shared the cards across all social media platforms, and we’ve received thousands of emails from customers sharing stories about the ways Empathy Cards have impacted their lives, a handful of which we’ve included here. Emily’s goal for this collection was to help people connect with each other through truth, one of the founding principles of the Emily McDowell Studio brand.

PARE NT ING S UP P O RT CA R D S The wonder, awe, and joy of parenting often goes hand in hand with complicated emotions like confusion, resentment, boredom, and anxiety. This doesn’t mean you don’t love your kids. It means you’re a person. But often, parents—especially moms—don’t talk about these feelings because we feel ashamed, or like there’s something wrong with us for not loving every moment of being a parent. This experience can be really lonely and isolating, but it’s also really common. So maybe we should talk about it. Like Empathy Cards, these are designed to help the people who receive them feel validated, connected, and supported.
