Christmas card on white background with an illustration of two interlinking baubles and one separate bauble with the words "Support Baubles", designed and sold by Little Lights Invites, 2020

Many greetings cards makers developed cards with designs reflecting responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Support bubbles were introduced in England and Northern Ireland on 13 June 2020. This was to enable certain groups to join one other household to help reduce loneliness. Adults living alone or adults with dependent children could form a bubble. On 2 December 2020 rules were expanded to enable more groups to form bubbles.

This card was donated by a Science Museum member of staff as the Science Museum Group documented the impact of the unfolding pandemic.
