Welcome to Hug a Duck Designs!

We’re all about smiles and kindness here, and we want to help spread that around.

Why not put a smile on someone’s face with one of our greeting cards? Each one features the gentle humour of Em’s hand-drawn designs.

Who is Em? Em’s an artist and lover of all things that make us smile.

We want to be kind to the environment too, so our cards and shipping materials are eco-friendly, made of recycled materials, and able to be recycled and/or composted at home.

Proudly made in Australia, and supporting Australian suppliers and businesses.
