Who says the office has to be all spreadsheets and stiff chairs? Picture this: You sit down at your desk, coffee steaming, and instead of grabbing the same old generic notepad, you reach for your personalized stationery. Your name, your style, your flair—all elegantly embossed or beautifully printed on each page. Suddenly, a mundane Monday morning feels a little more… you.

Why Personalized Stationery? Because You’re Not a Robot.

Let’s face it: most of us spend more time at our desks than we do on a tropical beach. So why not infuse a little personality into your workday? Personalized stationery is like a breath of fresh air in a sea of sameness. It’s a subtle yet powerful way to remind yourself—and everyone else—that you’re not just another cog in the corporate machine. You’re you. And you have style.

Think about it. You could write your to-do list on a bland sheet of printer paper. Or, you could jot it down on a beautifully crafted notepad with your monogram shining at the top. It’s like the difference between wearing a tailored suit and a one-size-fits-all uniform. One feels distinctly yours; the other, well, not so much.

Boost Your Professionalism with a Dash of Personality.

Ever hand someone a note on your personalized stationery? The raised ink, the thick paper, the unique design—it says, “I pay attention to the details.” And in a world where details matter, that’s saying a lot. Whether you’re leaving a quick thank-you note or sending a handwritten follow-up after a meeting, personalized stationery adds that extra touch of thoughtfulness. It’s the difference between being remembered and being… well, forgettable.

Plus, there’s something inherently classy about pulling out your own set of stationery to jot down a quick thought or idea. It’s like owning a fountain pen in a world of ballpoints—an instant boost to your credibility and style. You’re not just another email in someone’s inbox; you’re a presence, a brand, a vibe.

Make the Mundane Magical.

Writing down action items? Jotting meeting notes? Drafting a quick memo? These tasks can feel mind-numbingly routine. But when you use personalized stationery, even the mundane becomes a bit magical. It’s like adding a splash of color to a black-and-white film—suddenly, there’s life, vibrancy, and a touch of excitement.

And let’s be real, who doesn’t need a little more excitement at the office? Personalized stationery is like a small daily luxury—a little reminder that the details matter, that quality matters, and, most importantly, that you matter.

Leave a Lasting Impression—Because First Impressions Are Overrated.

Sure, first impressions are great. But lasting impressions? Those are the ones that count. When your stationery is as unique as you are, it lingers in the minds of clients, colleagues, and even the occasional office visitor. It shows you’re someone who takes pride in their work and their style—a person who doesn’t just do things but does them with a touch of elegance.

So, What’s the Real Joy in Personalized Stationery?

It’s the joy of self-expression in a world that often feels too cookie-cutter. It’s the joy of making a statement without saying a word. It’s the joy of knowing that even in a sea of sameness, you’ve found a way to stand out—subtly, stylishly, and authentically.

So go ahead—treat yourself to that custom notepad, those monogrammed note cards, or that chic letter sheet. Because life’s too short for boring stationery. And the office? Well, it’s too full of enough blandness as it is. Make it yours. Make it unforgettable.

When you scour the advice columnists such as Ask Amy or Miss Manners, it seems like one out of every ten questions is a frustrated query from an auntie or grandmother about why the young people in their lives won’t write thank you notes.

It seems to be a widespread problem, and where there’s a problem, there are solutions. If you have young adults in your life who do not express gratitude for the gifts you give them and the things you do for them, then maybe they need some tools. We’ve put together this brief guide to help you.

The Tools of Gratitude

The tools of gratitude are simple and easy to gather: 1. Give them their own stationery. 2. Model for them how to write a proper thank you note.

Giving stationery to member of Generation Z — those who are currently in their late teens or early twenties — may seem counterintuitive: They use their phones for everything right? Snapchat and Instagram and texting are their primary mode of communication. Even email seems hopelessly old-fashioned to the average 20-year-old.

We can all agree that a young person’s first instinct after a birthday party or receiving a beautiful gift in the mail is not to run to the store and buy a package of thank you notes.

So you can do this for them. Create a thank you note toolkit of sorts: a set of beautifully personalized thank you notes, a book of colorful stamps, a smooth-writing pen, and a print-out or digital file of the family addresses they can program into their phone.

Now that young person has the writing tools. We’re almost there…

Go a step further and model for them how to write a thank you note. The rhythm and structure is simple, as you know, being a regular thank you note writer, of course!

Here is collection of blogs we’ve written that explain how easy it is. They cover all the bases, ranging from writing thank you notes for birthdays, weddings, teachers and business occasions. You can send them that link, or you can sit with them in person or over the phone and go over the basics — salutation, name the gift, how you’ll use or enjoy it, hope for a future meeting, close.

Lack of Handwriting Skills?

One barrier you won’t be able to help them with is that many young people may not have learned to properly write in cursive. If they print the thank you note, or render it in a mixture of printing and cursive, who is to judge? Nothing’s perfect in this life, and if it’s the difference between sending a thank you note and not sending one, I’ll take the printed or badly scrawled thank you note any day of the week.

Stationery Choices for Young Adults

Let’s say this first: there is no right or wrong choices for personalized stationery. Some young adults are working in fields, such as the law or the corporate world, where a formal monogram or their name in plain block letters at the top of a folded note would be perfect.

Other young people might love that very same stationery simply for its classic feel. Still others might prefer stationery with a more youthful attitude.

Ultimately, the stationery you choose to give them depends on their personal taste.

You can also simply give them the link to the Gifts In 24 website and let them choose. Good luck and thank you for helping the world be a little kinder and gentler.

Discovering personalized stationery has been a revelation. It feels wonderful to pull out a piece and make that first penstroke on the smooth paper topped with my name or monogram. Personalized stationery elevates the experience of letter writing.

For some people, owning personalized stationery is like owning a pair of really good, dark-rinse blue jeans or a string of pearls. It’s something you use often and looks great with everything. But for other people, it’s a bit of a mystery…it’s something you might have heard about or seen in an old photograph of a famous writer at his or her desk, but not anything you or your friends have ever actually owned.

To this point, I was 45 years old when I discovered the idea of personalized stationery. I grew up and live in a northern city in a squarely middle class neighborhood. My friends and family had always sent me notes on plain stationery. When I was younger, we used notebook paper or sometimes plain letter sheets. When I got older, we used greeting cards, or boxed cards from the grocery store. Later, we used email and now texting.

Personalized stationery options

At first, I considered each piece precious; I wanted to save it for “special” occasions. But soon I realized that — at $45 for a box of 25, or $70 for a box of 50 — it cost less to use my stationery than it did to buy a greeting card at the store….way less!

Now, when I want to sit down and write a letter or a thank-you, the first thing I do is to pull out my boxes of personalized stationery and decide which style to use: my white flat card with silver lettering, or my ivory folded note with an embossed monogram or my monogrammed ivory letter sheets.

There are two main methods of personalization: your initials (otherwise known as a monogram) or your name. For the longest time, I owned simple monogrammed stationery — a flat card with a navy monogram and a matching navy border. Simple. Classic. I wanted my first personalized stationery to be traditional like that. When my blue monogram stationery ran out, I tried an embossed monogram. I love that it is 100% recyclable and even compostable, so it is eco-friendly. At the same time, it’s also very classic.

Recently I discovered an intriguing lettering style and decided to try my name as the personalization. I love that one too!

A smart investment

My investment in personalized stationery has paid off. Writing notes and letters has become a pleasure. I delight in running my fingers over the raised lettering or embossing. I feel like my stationery expresses myself beautifully. And when my box runs low, I feel excited about making a decision: Do I reorder a favorite or select a new design?

Personalized stationery options can feel endless. To simplify your decision, go with your gut. What style speaks to you? Look in your closet: do you tend toward the traditional or the trendy? Perhaps take a cue there. Good luck with your decision!

It pays to be choosy. Many of our products offer you exciting choices to help you create personalized notes and correspondence cards that are not only pretty but totally, uniquely you.

The thing is, you don’t actually have to pay a lot to create stationery that looks like you paid a lot. By selecting a few special touches, you can create gorgeous effects. But shhhhhh…. no one will know that you spent as little as you did for a high-end look.

Love borders? We’ll add them. Embossing? Done. Or maybe you’re a raised ink type of person? Perfect, we’ve got that too. Whatever you desire, you can create a style that’s all your own. Follow these tips to take your stationery from “does the job” to “a taste of luxury” — without breaking the bank.

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.

Personalized Notes

No matter the occasion, personalized stationery is a gift that’s always in style. Why? Simply put, it’s thoughtful and useful. When someone opens a box of custom cards, notes or notepads, he or she gains a tool for correspondence with a little luxury, to boot.

Whether you’re shopping for birthday, graduation, wedding, anniversary, hostess or some other sort of gifts, you can’t go wrong with this choice. To demonstrate that even further, here are five reasons why personalized stationery is always the perfect choice:

1. It’s unique

Because they feature a person’s name, monogram or messaging, no two personalized stationery gifts are alike. That’s why custom notecards are a one-of-a-kind present. You won’t worry that the recipient gets duplicates. Personalized paper or notecards won’t get lost in the shuffle. Each set is as unique as the person who receives it.

2. It’s thoughtful

When designing personalized stationery for a loved one, you communicate that the person matters to you. How? By creating personalized paper, you not only took time and energy to choose a style, but you also input the recipient’s name or monogram. It shows you care.

3. It’s economical

The age-old saying that “it’s the thought that counts” rings true with personalized stationery gifts. They’re proof that you don’t have to spend a bundle to provide someone with a meaningful present. Opening custom-made stationery is always a treat — regardless of its cost.

4. It’s memorable

Unlike many generic gifts, custom-designed stationery makes a meaningful impression. It’s not a mass-produced product, but rather a gift tailored to the recipient. That’s why, for as long as the paper lasts, your recipient is sure to think of you. With every handwritten note, he or she has a fresh reminder of your care. Custom-made stationery is hard to forget.

5. It’s sure to delight

Last but not least, getting a custom gift is fun. Who wouldn’t love to open a box of personalized notecards or papers, knowing they were designed with you in mind? When you surprise someone with custom stationery, the gift recipient will cherish it for a long time. Personalized notes are something special in a world of digital interaction.
