Funky Pigeon Review

 Author: admin Jul 12

I dont normally post reviews of non affiliate/seo sites on here, however thought I would share this site here.

Unless you have been living under a rock you will know that personalised cards are being advertised everywhere. First it was Moonpig. I received a code for a free card from them one year so thought I would try it out – however the card never turned up. Suprisingly I never used them again. Since then though, everyone seems to be jumping on the personalised cards idea and sites such as “Funky Pigeon” popping up everywhere.

Anyway, I was away on holiday for two weeks in June this year, which ran over Fathers day. As usual I forgot to buy a Fathers day card! Fortunately I was checking my emails while away on holiday and noticed an email from Funky Pigeon for a free fathers day card. I didn’t have anything to lose even if it didnt turn up as I hadn’t got a card already and had no way of getting one. A few clicks later and I had picked a card from the huge range available, personalised the text on the front and inside and told them to send it straight to my dad – done! I was amazed when I got a text message from my dad on Fathers day saying thanks for the card!

A few weeks later it was my girlfriend’s sisters 18th birthday so I decided to give Funky Pigeon another go, this time using a photo on the card and changing all the text again. This time I had the card sent to me so we could give it her with her presents. The next day the card came! It looked great, the photo was great and everything looked as it should. Everyone at the party commented on the card and it was by far her favourite.

Then today I realised that I hadn’t bought a card for my niece’s Christening. Im not religious at all, I feel like a hypocrite even going to the Christening. When I was looking around the shops, each one had a handful of cards, but they were all very religious – after all its a Christening! I didn’t feel comfortable giving any of them so decided to try Funky Pigeon. I got home, went to the site and searched for “Christening”. 62 cards – perfect! Within a couple of minutes I had picked a card which I liked the look of, wasn’t too religious, added my niece’s name and customised the message inside a little and placed the order.

It is so much easier buying cards online, especially when you are out of the country and need to send a card (Fathers day), you want something a little special (like the 18th birthday card) or when you want the freedom to change the text (the christening card). Add to that the fact the prices are quite reasonable and there always seems to be a discount voucher available and it is not only convenient, but cheap as well. The Fathers day card was free, 18th birthday card was £1.49 and the Christening card was £1.24 – all including free deliver to you or direct to the recipient – which from my experience is the next day!

    Yeh, the wife’s been using Moonpig for a while now (they must have got their act together since your experience), mostly in the scenario’s you describe – ie she’s forgotten someones birthday and its inconvenient to get to the shops.

    Its the future :)

    Definately. Dont know how I coped without them before now. It was a few years back that I tried Moonpig so they may have improved since then. Not had a look to see what their prices are like but Funky Pigeon seem to have promo codes for half price cards all the time which makes them £1.24-£1.49 each and the odd promo code for a free card as well.

    I’ve used Moonpig a few times – never had a problem yet, except for forgetting to change some of the default text on the card!
