Why Small Cards Make the Best Small Gifts
A joke on a card costs almost nothing and gets read aloud. It works for a lunch box, a stocking and a dinner table.
- You want a gift for Dad that is not another mug.
- You have two minutes before school and a lunch box to pack.
- A note a day by hand is more than anyone keeps up.
- The jokes you find online are not always for a child.
- You want a stocking stuffer that is not plastic.

How the Sets Are Made
The layouts and colors were built in code. The cartoon characters were created with an AI image generator, then cut out and arranged by Ink and Index. The joke and fact text was drafted with AI assistance, then chosen, edited and checked. The jokes use no brand names and no real people, and the facts were checked against public sources.
The license is for your own family, or one classroom or group you teach, and the Dad Joke Jar can be given to one person as a gift. Please do not resell, share or upload the files.
The sets are sold in the Ink and Index shop on Etsy, and this page lists them.
