Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch are not only gorgeous and insanely talented acting sensations who rule the internet with their legions of fans, but they are also just really nice guys.
The Thor and Sherlock stars are among the British celebrities who have designed one-of-a-kind homemade greeting cards for Cards For Keeps, which benefits the U.K. children’s charity Coram.
Benedict’s card features a lovely mixed media image of a bird on a branch and inspirational quotes from Vincent Van Gogh, Robert Browning, and Henry David Thoreau.

Tom’s card is a bit more simple but thoroughly adorable offering that just screams “Awwwwwww!”. A small figure holding a giant heart adorns the cover and the quote “love your life” is on the inside.

Other celebrities with cards include Twiggy, Joseph Fiennes, and White Queen author Philippa Gregory. Even as a hardcore Hiddlestoner, I have to admit that my favorite up for grabs is a hilarious and very well rendered monkey drawing and self-portrait from comedian and TV personality Karl Pilkington (An Idiot Abroad, The Ricky Gervais Show).
To check out all the cards available, head over to the Cards For Keeps Pinterest page or Twitter account.
The cards will be up for auction on eBay starting May 6th. Good luck to all the Hiddlestoners and Cumberbabes, there will definitely be some serious bidding wars for these gems!
