Proudly Smitten FAQ

💜 Welcome to Proudly Smitten

The Smitten Society's LGBTQIA+ Hub.
Started for the Community, by the Community

Hi and welcome!

At The Smitten Society we don't just sell gifts we create pieces that celebrate identity, honour journeys and make the LGBTQIA+ community feel genuinely seen. Our Proudly Smitten collection is designed in-house by people who live it, love it and refuse to apologise for it!

We've been designing and creating our signature Metal Pride Cards right here in the UK since 2020. Like many others we started with plastic, but we quickly realised our community deserved better. Better quality. Better durability. Better everything.

So we upgraded to premium all-metal cards UV resistant, wallet perfect and built to last a lifetime. Just like you. 


1. What is a Pride Membership Card?

Our Metal Pride Membership Cards are premium novelty cards designed to fit perfectly in your wallet or lanyard holder. Personalised with your name and often featuring "Lifetime Membership" because that's exactly what it is.

They make the perfect coming out gift, a brilliant way to celebrate a friend's milestone, or just a brilliant daily reminder that you are exactly who you're supposed to be.

Whether it's Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Pansexual, Trans, Non-Binary or any identity in between we've got a card for you.


Why Metal? Here's The Smitten Society Difference

Our Premium Metal Cards Standard Plastic Cards
Durability Won't snap or crack in your pocket Prone to snapping and white-line bending
Print Quality UV resistant, high-def colours that last Ink fades and rubs off in sunlight


Look & Feel

Luxury weight it's a premium card Feels like a cheap loyalty card
Eco-Friendly Built to last years in your wallet Often binned when it snaps
Versatility Perfect for wallets and standard lanyards Can get stuck or brittle in lanyard holders

2. Can I Personalise the Name on the Card?

Absolutely! Most of our metal cards including Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Pansexual and LGBTQIA+ designs can be personalised with a custom name. Simply enter the name in the personalisation box on the product page before adding to your cart.

You can even add your own photo to most of our cards too!


3. What Other LGBTQIA+ Products Do You Sell?

We're so much more than cards! The full Proudly Smitten collection includes:

  • Metal Pride Membership Cards personalised, premium and built to last
  • Pride Badges from Progress Pride to Butch Lesbian, Androsexual and beyond. Small badge. Loud message. 
  • Pride Wall Clocks including our silent sweep "Sounds Gay" clock and personalised "Gaymer" designs. Walls so boring they're practically straight — not anymore! 
  • Pride Mugs high visibility ways to show your pride at home or work
  • Birthday, Christmas & Valentine's Cards from sweet and inclusive to our signature naughty humour
  • Lanyards wear your pride everywhere you go

4. I Can't See My Specific Pride Flag. Can You Make It?

We strive to be as inclusive as possible because every identity deserves to be celebrated.

If you need a specific flag Aromantic, Genderfluid, Demisexual, Asexual or anything else  and you can't find it in our main collection, please get in touch! We can often create custom designs to match the identity you need.

Drop us a message and we'll do our absolute best to make it happen. 


5. Is Your Packaging Discreet?

YES. Always. 

We completely understand that not everyone is out yet, or that you might be sending a gift to a workplace or shared address. Every order from The Smitten Society arrives in plain, discreet outer packaging with no branding, no logos and absolutely zero hints about the fabulousness inside.

Your postman doesn't need to know. Your nosy neighbour definitely doesn't need to know. 


6. How Much Is Shipping?

  • UK Standard Delivery: FREE on many items!
  • Evri Pickup Point: Just £2.99 for added convenience
  • International: We ship worldwide! Rates are calculated at checkout based on your location

7. Are Your Clocks Really Silent?

Yes and we now offer two movement options so you can choose what works best for your space!

  • Classic Ticking the traditional, satisfying tick-tock rhythm. Great for kitchens, lounges and anyone who finds the sound comforting
  • NEW Modern Sweep our whisper-quiet option. Instead of jumping every second the hand glides in one smooth, continuous motion. Virtually silent and perfect for bedrooms, nurseries and quiet offices

Both options are available across our Pride clock range including our 22cm and 30cm designs and the iconic "Sounds Gay" clock.

Simply select your preferred movement from the dropdown menu on the product page!

Please note: even our Modern Sweep movement may produce a very faint mechanical hum in a completely silent room but honestly, that's it. Your walls will be far louder with personality than with noise. 


8. How Do I Get In Touch?

We're always just a message away! Our friendly team can be reached via:

We're a real team of real people who genuinely care, so never hesitate to reach out.
