There are many kinds of gifts, some extravagant, some simple, some thoughtful, some obligatory. This time of year we bring gifts wherever we go, and the expense can really add up—especially when the gift wrap and card cost almost as much as the gift itself!

Gone are the days of attaching a card to every gift. These days, if I buy a card, the card IS the gift, usually with cash or a gift card tucked inside. But sometimes I do want to write a special message to accompany a gift—when I can’t hand it to the recipient in person, for example. For these occasions, I look for creative gift card ideas, and have found that our notelettes are perfect for this.

Notelettes are about the size of a gift card. They’re too small to be mailed, but are perfect for tucking into a bouquet of flowers, attaching to a bottle of wine, or taping to a gift like a gift tag. A notelette gives you just enough room to express your thanks or good wishes without doubling the cost of your gift. And sometimes that’s all you need.
