Lost Compass Greeting Card

Inside: Blank

$5 each. Free Shipping

Suggested recipients: the aimless, the avoidant, the ones who pretend the journey is the destination when they’ve long since lost the map.

3"x4" card featuring public domain compass illustration with text reading “Some who wander are lost.”

This card is for those feeling directionless—not as a reassurance, but as a sharp recognition. It’s not always romantic to drift. Sometimes the wandering leads nowhere, and that truth deserves acknowledgment. With an off-center composition and stark imagery, this is a card for calling out disorientation. A slap in the face to the more familiar phrase that has been appropriated to mean that anyone wandering must be doing something worthwhile.

This card is featured in our blog Impetus Inaction under Goodbyes, Asides, & Otherwise.

Printed on premium cardstock, each Offhand Card for Common Situations blends carefully chosen text with either original illustrations or restored public domain artwork. Every design explores the in-between spaces—where sentiment meets truth, and giving a card becomes both an offering and an act of clarity. These cards are designed for real moments—encouragement after setbacks, quiet goodbyes, small mercies, and overdue reconciliations—and each piece carries a handmade, art-print quality that makes it both thoughtful and collectible.
