60 double-sided cards designed to help you rediscover the small pleasures in life.


A lot of what makes life worth living isn’t to do with great, heroic or costly things, but with modest pleasures that are all around us, largely unnoticed, available for almost nothing. It might be a beautiful sky, the smell of freshly cut grass, or a friend who understands how we feel.

With beautiful photography and a few well-chosen words, this pack of cards draws us back to an appreciation of the overlooked ordinary, gently prompting us to remember that life is more precious and richer than we generally allow.

Examples of the small pleasures below, each accompanied with a beautiful image:

  • Children’s drawings
  • Old stone walls.
  • In the heat, lying in a field, looking up.
  • Crying cathartically over the death of a fictional character.
  • Fresh French bread; butter.
  • The song you want to listen to again and again.
