In 2017, per head of population, more greetings cards are sent in the UK than anywhere else in the world. Birthday cards remain the most purchased type of card, followed by Christmas, Valentine's Day, Mothers Day and Fathers Day. Recent new categories reflect changing times, such as a card for passing your driving test, cards to congratulate (!) you on your divorce, and cards for many multicultural events too - Diwali, Chinese New Year etc. Easter cards, once unknown, now make up a significant portion of the spring season card sales.
