Anvil Cards is a hip spot with both a brick and mortar location and an online store. It specializes in unique gifts from local artists and independent card shops, offering clothing, jewelry, and more. It is by far a favorite place to browse for unique, fun, funny, and clever greeting cards for every occasion, with blank insides for a personal touch. The shop has a local Houston and Texas vibe without being touristy. It is also a one-stop shop for gifts, with every piece being unique. Customers report great service, truly nice employees, and high-quality items like gift wrap, often accompanied by sweet handwritten notes. Orders arrive in great condition in a timely manner, making it the best place in Houston for cards and a definite choice for repeat visits.
It's great having a local business like this. The art is incredible and the service is very personalized. Definitely recommend if you need a card for any occasion.

Very interesting Houston and Texas themed card shop - many if not all the cards are designed and created by the owner. Also has a selection of stationery type items and local art from around the city and state. Lots of fun and quirky stuff to choose from. Even their door handle is cool.

Very impressed with products, pricing, and packing! I no longer live in Houston, but I return from San Antonio with some regularity. Will try to visit the Village and see what's still there, or new, next time.
