Snail Mail With Style

When was the last time you sent someone a letter? Not an email or a text message, but an actual letter on paper written with your own hands? Chances are, it's been a while. Maybe it's time for a change; I'm sure your friends and relatives would be thrilled to receive a letter, note, or just a postcard once in a while. In this crazy digital-driven world, snail mail seems that much more special.

Luckily, Star Clipper has tons of different postcards and stationery sets that really make a statement. Sets with paper, envelopes, and stickers come from such artists as Pete Fowler, Mizna Wada, Gary Baseman, Roman Dirge, and many more.

One of my favorites is the Gama-Go postcard collection, which feature lots of cool Gama-Go art in postable form. I also love the Spider-Man note card set, because Spider-Man is the coolest and because these small blank cards and envelopes (with a few assorted Spider-Man illustrations) are perfect for thank-you notes.

Hold on, was that a collective groan coming from the blogosphere? Thank-you cards are awesome! Especially ones with Spider-Man on them. I know its sounds like a drag, but your Mom was right when she said that your relatives really appreciate them after the gift-giving season is over.

And hey, these sets make great gifts themselves! We also have journals for the introspective person on your holiday shopping list. Come on, everybody, put down those keyboards and bring snail mail back into vogue!
