The Office - Michael Scott

This contemporary greeting design uses a four-panel, comic-style layout to capture the familiar mix of cheer and disbelief that comes with holiday shopping. Each panel features the same male character in different poses - swinging carefree, forcing an awkward smile, facepalming in disbelief and sitting dejected on a bench - paired with bold, playful typography reading "When you realise how much presents cost to buy" and a prominent "MERRY CHRISTMAS" in seasonal red and green. The illustration employs flat colour blocks and clean lines for a modern, graphic look that balances humour with eye-catching simplicity.

Ideal for shoppers with a sense of humour, this card makes a witty seasonal statement for friends, colleagues and Secret Santa exchanges. The design's strong, contrasting palette and clear message translate well across print and digital formats, making it suitable for both premium printed greetings and social media posts. Its tone is light-hearted and relatable - perfect for anyone who wants to acknowledge the festive pressure of present-buying with a smile (and a groan).
