Back in the “Old days” – IE, my childhood – I loved getting stationary as a gift. I had a lot of pen pals that I wrote to as a kid – you know, with a pen and paper, though snail mail? Clearly, this was before Facebook. 😉 Anyway, although computers have given rise to a quicker mode of communication, snail mail has not died out. I still love getting stationary so that I can write personalized cards and letters to my loved ones around the country and globe. Pass this love of handwriting on to the next generation by gifting a stationary set that will get today’s teens as excited about letter-writing as we used to be!
Vistaprint offers stationary sets that you can customize based on design preference and what products you think your recipient would most like. I received a complimentary coupon code to review a set with, and since my tastes haven’t matured much since my pen pal days, I picked the cute cupcake motif you see above. The set included 10 folded note cards with matching envelopes, a notepad, return address labels, and envelope stickers which I could personalize however I liked. Since I recently ran out of “Thank You” cards, I decided to customize these to create my own personalized thank-you notes:
Cute, right? I customized the stickers and notecards to say “Thank you!”, with the inside of the card reading “Thank you for being so sweet!” to fit with the cupcake theme. Yep, I came up with that one myself. 😉 The envelopes have my address printed on the back, which is really handy, and I also received really cute, matching cupcake address labels. I also created a super cute cupcake notepad personalized with my name. I think this is so fun and I can’t wait to send off my first thank-you card!
