A true Houston gem. It is overflowing with wonderful handmade, from the heart products that have given my family and friends so much joy. Here I purchased my favorite Astros shirt (it reads “Josè Puede” haha!), a many a Willie Nelson themed items, stocking stuffer/water bottle stickers, and countless cards that inspired me to say what I previously couldn’t put into words.
Not only are their products superb, but the customer service is unmatchable. Several weekends ago a friend and I popped over to our restock cards after seeing our tailor next door. She had never been there and mentioned it would be so cool if a specific card had her Aunt’s name printed on it.

I moved to San Antonio from Houston last year and I still order all my cards through Anvil's online shop. Prompt shipping and delivery.

Just one more example of how Anvil cards continues to be a local, small batch store with a BIG impact! Good...
Read moreAnvil Cards is one of those charming, cute little local small businesses that I'm thankful to have in the neighborhood. Every time I need a card, I always think of this place. They have a variety of original artwork in different forms (greeting cards, posters, tshirts), and you'll definitely find something you're looking for, no matter what the occasion. The quality of the card paper itself is great too! You can tell when writing in it. Service is friendly and their price point is agreeable. Bonus points for all the Houston/Texas centric artworks! They make the perfect gift for the native Texan in your life that'll remind them of home. I gifted my sister who moved out of state the "Stay Salty" Whataburger fries picture and she...
