Even the cheapest gift can look a million dollars when it's beautifully wrapped. We've found the most stylish greeting cards, stationery and wrapping paper on the web so no excuses for poorly presented pressies!
Say It With Stationery
There's nothing quite like a handwritten letter. The surprise of getting good news in the post amidst all the bad news of bills is unlike any other. There's a reason you save greeting cards and letters and delete text messages - letters are so much more meaningful, especially so when written on some chic stationery or a gorgeous greeting card. We say it's time to bring back pen pals and end our obsession with shortening every form of communication. No longer will we let our interaction with loved ones be confined to 140-character, abbreviated messages. We propose a written revolution! Let us bring thought back into our messages, deliver the love and care that used to go into handwritten letters and greeting cards.
Stationery & Greeting Cards - Where to Start
If the idea of penning a letter by hand without the help of spell check is more than a little overwhelming to you, fear not. Don't let words like embossed and rosette scare you away from the lost art of letter-writing, because we have all the details sorted out for you with stationery & greeting card ideas aplenty. First, think of the occasion and decide on the emotion you want to convey. Funny, serious, loving, thoughtful, light-hearted - there is a greeting card for every occasion.
