Per My Last Email Card shows a cartoon tombstone with “Here Lies:” arched above it, and the stone reads “Per my last email.” It is a gentle joke about the coworker who always sent one more reminder, and “Happy Retirement” sits underneath to turn the gag into a celebration. Anyone who has ever answered a question that was already answered in writing will laugh at it, and you can send it to a colleague who is finally signing off.
Ships with a kraft envelope; envelope color in photo may vary.
The artwork explained
The main subject is a soft purple tombstone with a rounded top and a lighter gray face, set on a small green patch of grass. White daisies with yellow centers sit at its base and along the edges of the grass. Above the stone, “Here Lies:” is written in purple lettering that arcs over the top, and the stone itself carries the words “Per my last email” in dark gray. At the bottom, “Happy Retirement” appears in bold letters. The style is simple and cartoonish, so the joke stays light. The tombstone makes the email reference feel like a mock eulogy for a long career of messages.
Who it suits best
You will notice the tombstone first, then the small line on the stone that makes the office laugh. The card suits people who have worked alongside a colleague known for careful, repeated emails. It also suits anyone who has ever received a message beginning with a reminder of an earlier one. You can enjoy it as a shared joke with the whole team, especially when the retiring coworker is someone who always had the last word in writing.
When it fits
This card is made for a retirement lunch, a last day at the office, or a goodbye card passed around the desk. You can tuck it into a farewell gift or sign it with a short note about the emails you will miss. It also works for a coworker who is moving on from a long team, since the joke carries a warm, playful farewell. Keep it on the desk for a day or two, and the laugh will travel through the office.
- What does the tombstone joke mean?
- The stone reads “Per my last email” under “Here Lies:”, which is a playful nod to the habit of referencing earlier messages. The card turns that habit into a mock eulogy, then closes with “Happy Retirement” so the joke stays friendly and celebrates the coworker who is leaving.
- Who will get this card?
- It suits anyone who has spent years in an office where follow-up emails were common, especially a colleague who always sent the reminder. Team members who shared those messages will recognize the reference right away, and the purple cartoon style keeps the tone light for a wider group.
- What occasions suit this design?
- This design fits a retirement lunch, a farewell at the office, or a last day card signed by the team. It also works as part of a retirement gift, and you can add a short handwritten note about the emails you will miss to make the moment more personal.
