Stuck On Stationery? Invest In Our Favorite Essentials
When’s the last time you sent someone a handwritten note? It is my personal belief that pen and paper messages have become a lost art rediscovered by many during the pandemic. The best stationery supplies can be useful to anyone but especially creators and entrepreneurs. Oftentimes, you’re doing the work of multiple people, including grassroots marketing. If you’re a small business owner, you may be sending press packages with personalized notes and standout postage to establish a connection.
If you’re a designer, incorporating stationery into your day-to-day schedule (and subsequent social media updates) could be an organic way to show off your skills while getting sh*t done. Plus, combined with a planner and other unique office accessories, stationery supplies can help encourage productivity and get those creative juices flowing. If you want to start with the basic essentials, here are some of our favorites, including the most recognizable form of stationery: a paper and envelope set.
