Despite e-mail, instant messengers and unlimited texting, there is just something so special about receiving a hand written card. An invitation, a thank you, a holiday card. One of the many things my mother has taught me over the years is the art of the Thank You letter. Not a thank you e-mail or a thank you text but a beautifully written and well thought out thank you letter on a pretty little card or stationary.
This is a skill that I hope to pass on to my girls and what better way to encourage them to do so than by providing them with pretty stationary?
Minted.com is an exceptional marketplace for fine printed products such as stationary, wall art, party and home decor. What really sets them apart from others is that they crowd-source designs from a global community of talented independent designers.

I really love all the kids stationary, and there are so many designs to choose from! The first design that really caught my eye was this super cute Fox and Flag children’s personalized stationary design. What child wouldn’t want to write letters on paper as cute as this?
I also loved the bold pattern and colours of the Flutterpatch children’s personalized stationary design. Forget Ava and Keira, I want this one for myself!
Notebooks are also something your child needs to in school, and they don’t get much better looking than the designs Minted offers. I really like the look of this Chalkboard Dreams Notebook, plus you can get the same design in a day planner and an address book. You better believe this will get your kids to actually write notes in class.. or maybe just doodle more enthusiastically.
I really like this Zoo Menagerie Party Decor in the Perfect Party Package it comes with almost everything you could want plus it’s super adorable. The bunting banner is so fun and I think it works great for either girls or boys. If I go with this one I think I might order the Wild Adventure Children’s Birthday Party Invitations in pink.

I love the princess design but you can't go wrong either way. I totally had forgotten about Minted until I read this post and I actually need new stationary. Their designs are fabulous!
