Choosing a gift can be difficult for certain situations. This is especially the case when you need to select a gift for someone you don’t know well, such as your child’s teacher, or you’re searching for a hostess gift. Not sure what to choose? It’s always appropriate to consider personalized stationery.

Stationery includes decorative paper, notepads or cards — along with the envelopes for sending the notes. You can customize the stationery to fit the occasion and show that you put thought and care into your gift.

When to Give Stationery

Stationery is ideal for specific occasions. You can help people thank their guests for a shower, wedding or other event by giving thank you stationery. This will make the couple’s life easier when they are ready to send thank you notes. A wedding is also an opportune time for personalized stationery, because you can start the newlyweds off right.

You can give stationery to a host or hostess of a party — whether you give it by itself or along with a larger gift. For this occasion, the stationery could help the hosts thank their guests or could simply provide notes for whenever your recipient feels like writing throughout the year.

When someone is going on a trip or moving, stationery is an excellent gift. You can add a return address to celebrate your friend’s new home. Stationery is also ideal for someone young who is going to camp or college.

How to Personalize Your Gift

By personalizing the stationery, you make it a thoughtful, unique gift. Stationery can be individualized in a variety of ways. First, you can choose designs and paper that fit the occasion. Select colors that match a bride’s wedding theme, choose a design with the recipient’s favorite flower, or pick cards decorated with different countries for a traveler. Once you have chosen the stationery, you are able to customize it with the person’s name and even a greeting. For example, you could give paper with letterhead that says, “From the [ ] family.” Or you could tailor the stationery to an event. For instance, help a couple thank people for their wedding gifts by customizing cards with a saying such as, “We were so happy to share our special day with you.”

What could be better than the gift of personalized stationery when you attend an event or want to encourage someone to keep in touch? Fine stationery makes an impression, while personalizing it shows you put the extra time and attention into your gift.

So, naturally, we here at Giftsin24 think about new stationery designs and patterns, in anticipation of all the excitement soon to unfold outdoors. Here is some of our new stationery for spring in your choice of vivid raised-ink colors.

A Breath of Fresh Spring Air

These new designs have personalities all their own.  You’ll see that we’ve added new twists to some favorites and have created beautiful new lettering styles for completely new looks in others. And we’ve given them wonderful names, some of which are exotic and fun. They are all printed in your choice of raised-ink color. Whether you choose bright and sassy –think fuchsia, emerald green, ocean blue, red or purple — metallic — think silver or gold — or traditional and true — black, mocha, navy or slate — this stationery will bring you a breath of fresh spring air.

Classic Frame Monogram Note features our beautifully embossed frames with a precision-printed raised ink monogram.

Classic Frame Monogram Note – Raised Ink. We’ve given our Classic Frame Monogram note a re-fresh for 2018.  We’ve combined our traditional embossed frame with a raised-ink monogram.

Add coordinating hand-inserted envelope linings to boost the happiness factor.

Let’s Hear From You

What do you think of our new stationery? We’d love to hear from you! Tell us your favorite design or lettering style.

In addition to these five new stationery sets, we’ve also created a number of new party napkin and guest towel designs. See these and other new products in our New Selections area of our website. As some of these lettering styles become more popular, expect to see them on our engraved gifts and personalized notepads.

Correspondence or flat card

You would never walk out of the house without at least a quick thought to your appearance. The same goes for sending correspondence out into the world. The best and easiest way to be sure your messages make your best impression is to create a social stationery wardrobe.

Build a social stationery wardrobe with pieces that you love. After all, just like your clothing wardrobe, your stationery represents you in the world, so you should feel proud of the way it fits your unique style. And remember, quality stationery stands the test of time. While many of your missives will be discarded, some will be kept for years, maybe decades or even centuries!

So what’s in a social stationery wardrobe? These are the basic pieces that provide the tools you need for any occasion that pops up. We recommend four must-have pieces in your stationery wardrobe:

Flat card or correspondence card

If you need to write just a couple of lines, a flat card is the perfect tool. Need to send your father-in-law the belt he left at his last visit? Slip in a flat card with a quick hello. Want to send a memorial donation in the name of a friend’s sister? Write your instructions to the charity on a flat card and include the check. Anytime you need to send a casual,  brief missive, the flat card works beautifully.

How to use: Write  your brief message on the side of the card that shows your name or monogram.

Folded note

Folded note or foldover note

A folded note is slightly more formal. It’s perfect for one of the most common social tasks we perform (or should be performing, ahem! ): the thank you note. Folded notes give plenty of space to express gratitude for a wedding, birthday, Christmas, anniversary or baby shower gift. Folded notes are also perfect for acknowledging the nice things that people do for you. It could be that referral that a client made on your behalf. Or the wonderful dinner party you got invited to.  Ask yourself: “Did someone spend time and effort to do something just for me?” Return their energy by writing a thank you note on a folded note.

And using polished and professionally made thank you notes can be rewarding in other ways: If you are on the job hunt, doing job interviews or attending sales calls, that embossed folded note could make or break a potential employer or client’s impression of you.

How to use: Start on the lower inside panel. If you need more space, move to the upper inside panel.

Letter sheet

Writing papers or letter sheets

If you are writing a message of a few paragraphs or more, use writing papers, also called letter sheets. Whether you are channeling your inner Jane Austen or simply telling your college bound daughter how much you love her, writing sheets emblazoned with your name or monogram are the perfect touch.  Accompany the paper with matching envelopes and a pretty stamp, and you will create correspondence worthy of being handed down through the ages… or at least saved for a little while.

How to use: Write on the front of the paper only. Use a blank sheet for the second page and find your best pen filled with blue or black ink.

Gift enclosure

Gift enclosures

Whether you are giving a bottle of wine for getting that big sale or offering a gift to your evening’s host, a gift enclosure is your tool. Keeping a well-stocked stash of these around will help you avoid a last-minute scramble to the drug store. A well-crafted enclosure ensures that every gift is presented beautifully.

How to use: Brevity is your friend here. Sign your name under a brief greeting: “Thank you!” “I love you” “Happy Birthday,” etc.

Assembling your social stationery wardrobe 

You can put together a beautiful stationery wardrobe using individual cards, notes , writing papers  and enclosures that you love on their own. Buying individually gives you more flexibility and design choices. You can select pieces that are on trend, traditional designs or a mix of both.

Or you can purchase a coordinating set. Giftsin24 offers a number of wardrobes and ensembles that represent terrific values. Especially if you love a particular lettering style or monogram, purchasing a wardrobe is an easy way to get what you need quickly. Here are a few of our favorites:

Henley Monogram Wardrobe. This graceful assortment of embossed papers gives you many options to fit any occasion. Featuring your beautifully embossed monogram on high quality paper.

Add the Corridor Card to complete the set.

Helping your friends and family to celebrate a new home is like planting flowers and turning on the sun.

Are you going to a housewarming party? Candles and tea towels are traditional housewarming gifts. But we’ve got a better idea: personalized stationery.  It’s perfect for newlyweds, downsizers and upgraders. For those who have found their “forever home.” Or for those who have simply found a better place to rest and refresh after working all day.

Giving  stationery with a new return address acknowledges the specific home they’ve chosen. And with 50 pieces in a set, they’ll remember your gift every time they use it.

Plus, you can write a beautiful message on the first card. Something like: “I’m so excited that you found your new digs. May you have a comfortable, happy home filled with joy and beauty!”

Warm Their Home with Personalization

Here are our top three favorite housewarming party gifts. In the “Order and Preview” section, choose to have the optional return address printed on the included envelopes:

Anthony Family Pride Note. A beautiful gift for a young, close-knit family. Nothing beats the delicious feeling of family togetherness. The texture of the raised-ink names, bullets and border makes this note a delight to touch and hold. Choose an ink from among our 10 raised-ink options.

Double Thick Impression Note. Perfect for a couple embarking on their new life together. Our Impression Note features an oversized script typeface that gets attention. The raised ink lettering shines nicely against the smooth paper. Try it with sage lettering on ivory paper. Or, for a more formal look, use crisp black lettering on stark white paper. For even more luxury, add optional lined envelopes in your choice of pretty patterns and colors.

Bordered Classic Monogrammed Card. As appropriate for the city girl striking out on her own as it is for a mature singleton who is living life to the fullest. Fashions come and go, but this card is always in style. As with all our notes and cards, 50 matching envelopes are included. Optional lined envelopes make this stationery set even more yummy.

Beat the winter blahs with new stationery.

When the skies are grey, temperatures plunge and daylight barely breaks ten hours, we all need a break from the drear. How about some happy stationery to perk you up and help you connect with friends?

With a good pen and a stamp, you can cheer yourself up by writing a friendly note to your old college roommate, favorite cousin or old next-door-neighbor. Won’t they be surprised to get your letter?

Three of our happiest cards and notes

Notable Note: One of our best selling notes! Your monogram appears in an ebullient, rounded script lettering style in one of ten luscious raised-ink colors. Choose fuchsia, red or purple for a pick-me-up vibe.

Blossom Note: Another exquisite design by America’s leader in social stationery! Our Blossom Note features superb embossed and creamy, triple-thick paper. Yo’u’ll enjoy writing a letter on this note. The Japanese-inspired motif features a spray of flowers deeply impressed into the paper. Below, your name appears in shiny raised ink. Choose from 6 pretty lettering styles and 10 ink colors.

Manhattan Card: This single panel card lights up an ordinary day with a ticker tape parade of polka dots, highlighted by your name in a curling script. For a real treat, choose lined envelopes in your choice of 5 patterns and 4 colors.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Use personalized notes to tell people you love them all throughout the year, not just on Valentine’s Day.

Remember the cute Valentines we swapped in grade school (hoping to get one from our secret crush!) and those little pastel-colored conversation hearts?  Or the first “real” Valentine’s Day you shared with your new love?

Romance is wonderful at any age, but what about all the other special relationships in our lives?  We all have people that are dear to us.  There are our children, our parents and grandparents, friends, siblings and relatives. It’s important to let them know that they’re loved and appreciated as well, not just on Valentine’s Day, but any day of the year.

Great reasons to send a personalized note or card

– Just because you thought of them today
– You haven’t seen them since the holidays and you miss them
– A friend or neighbor is recovering from an illness or surgery and a written hello will lift their spirits
– Share good news – about your upcoming wedding, new job or a baby
– Say thanks for the get-together they hosted or the lunch date you shared
– Tell them how much a small act or word of kindness from them meant to you
– Brighten the day of someone in the military – they’re far from home

There are so many ways to stay in touch, to say thanks or you’re welcome, to acknowledge an achievement, share a milestone, offer congratulations and best wishes.  Take a few minutes out of your day to write a personalized note.  It may mean the world to the recipient. You never know – it may arrive right at the moment they need it most.  So if you’re thinking of someone, let them know.  Express your love and appreciation to those in your life any day of the year.
