I was raised to believe in the importance of the thank you note. Each Christmas was spent logging which gifts we received from whom so we could spend that night—or the following day—penning, addressing and sending thank you’s to everyone on our lists. This is a practice I’ve kept with me through adulthood, and one of my favorite things to do each year is stock up on cute stationery sets I can use for this season’s round of thanks.

Those of you who live and die by the thank you note appreciate the importance of stocking up on cute stationery. And even those of you who don’t can surely understand the beauty of an uncommon letter, the underrated romance of snail mail or the fulfilling practice of putting pen to paper and striking up correspondence with a loved one (or a few) this holiday season.
No matter what you do with it, stationery is central to tons of activities. And even if you’ve sworn off letter writing entirely, your cute stationery sets can surely find a home on your walls as decor, in picture frames as makeshift art or on your refrigerator as a dose of aesthetic appeal in an otherwise functional space.
