Alternative Mother’s and Father’s Day Cards for Goths, Emos, and Weirdos (Like Us)
If frilly florals and generic Dad-jokes just don’t cut it in your household, welcome! You’re among friends. Whether you’re shopping for a witchy mum who deserves a little spooky love, or a dad who’s more black nail polish than barbecue apron, this one’s for you.

Across Europe, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day land on different dates depending on where you live. This year, Spain and Portugal celebrate Mother’s Day on May 4th. Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, and others mark it on May 11th. In France and Sweden, it’s May 25th. Father’s Day dates shift too—Germany on May 29th, Sweden on June 1st, Denmark on June 5th, and most other countries (including Ireland, the UK, and Canada) on June 15th.
That’s a lot of dates—and a lot of chances to skip the boring stuff!
So what do you get for an alternative parent who actually wants something cool? At The Misfit Paper Co., you’ll find cards that say “I love you” without selling out your soul. Think gothic arches, metallic foil snake designs, punk pins, skulls with heart eyes, and rosettes that scream “Ghoulest Mom Ever.” These aren’t novelty cards—they’re beautifully designed pieces with premium finishes, lush colours, and a spooky twist that makes them feel personal.
