Our Cows Corner Story

Hi! I’m Len. A cricket-mad dad with a love for sport and a good laugh. A while back, I tried to send a funny cricket gift to a mate — but what turned up was a bit of a shocker. The quality wasn’t there, and it didn’t feel special. That moment sparked Cows Corner — a place for brilliant-quality, funny sports gifts you’d actually be proud to send. Now with personalised cards and gift boxing, I hope our products bring a smile, a laugh, and a bit of heartfelt joy to whoever receives them.
