Personal Treat

Sure, it’s fast and easy to say thank you or happy birthday on e-mail or Facebook, but some occasions deserve something more personal. With stationery from Lo-Lo Paper Treats, you can share your message on a handwritten note that has real substance. This vibrant line of personalized paper products was created by Laurey Levy, a graphic designer with a fine arts degree and a great eye for color. A few years ago, Laurey decided to put her own signature and style on her correspondence. She began by making gift labels and cards for the birthday parties her children attended. Her hobby turned into a business after her friends started asking for their own personalized stationery.

We’re featuring four of Laurey’s favorite designs: Pom Pom, Whimsy, Sweet Flower and Cherry Blossom. Each collection comes cleverly packaged in a printed bakery box tied with baker’s twine (perfect for gift-giving). Inside the box, you’ll find one large and one small personalized notepad each with 140 sheets and a collection of personalized birthday, thank you and thinking-of-you note cards. Laurey creates and prints these in her own studio on heavy, recycled natural stock. The paper feels great in your hand – something you really can’t say about those electronic greetings.
