Stationery: So Many Choices,
So Little Time!

I find it ironic that "stationery" is often confused with "stationary", because the latter means "not moving", and the whole point is to move it (well, give it) to someone else. If you ever get confused which is which, remember that the one you want has an "e" for envelope, letter, pen and pencils.

If you've ever gone looking online for even some simple note cards, you were probably overwhelmed by the choices. Sure you can always go to the mall and find a Papyrus or Hallmark, nothing wrong with that. Papyrus has some really cute stuff and they have printing services too. But if you're looking for something more personal, take a look online. Here are a few good ones:
