P.S. I HART This: The Art of the Note
The best things in life are free. Making out with your crush, toddler hugs, that first-sip feeling of coffee. A thoughtful note is also way, way up there. Life is short. Tell your people you love them. A little note goes a long way – it doesn’t take much to make them ugly cry. Snail mail is just chic as hell, too.
The Art of the Note. Some guidelines:
- The more personal and specific, the better. Take a few minutes to close your eyes and let your mind wander through shared memories. Don’t skip this step!
- Regardless of your penmanship, hand-writing is a must. Keep it warm and personal; avoid overly stiff language.
- Don’t be afraid to be corny, people. They’ll enjoy the cashmere socks for a while, but cherish this note forever. Bring on the sap, as long as it's sincere.
- Channel Matisse and draw on the envelope. Loose and cheerful looks fab.
A note alone is a worthy gift. But if you fancy to give some of our jewelry too, here are some prompts to inspire a thoughtful note to accompany our best-sellers.
