This probably isn't what you want to hear, but Christmas cards have to be bought some time.
It's thoughtful to give cards that reflect the interests of the person receiving it - or, failing that, fun to send something that you particularly like. It's surprisingly difficult, though, to find any aimed specifically at gardeners,
For Christmas cards with a gardening theme, check out Thrive's website. (Thrive is a charity working in social and therapeutic horticulture.) Their "Christmas Thyme" design is exclusive to them, but I particularly liked their well dressed shed [NB 2014: link removed as no longer viable].
Perennial has a much wider range of cards, to support their work with distressed professional horticulturalists. They've got quite a mix of gardening and non-gardening subjects and, again, I fell for the shed (pictured).
You might have spotted in the past that I have a particular soft spot for the humorous cartoons of Chris Madden which you buy under licence to produce yourself (a quick glance at his terms indicate a £15 rate for personal use). His website is much easier to navigate now, and he's got a good array of Christmas gardening subjects.
