Crane’s Search for the Cure Caddy

I wanted to take a minute today to more formally thank the people that walked with me this year in the annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. So I turned to Crane’s Search for the Cure Caddy and wrote the perfect notes with perfect cards.

These are so great. I mean, I’m a tactile person and a writer to boot, so for me, you can’t get much better than the feel of high-end stationary.

First and foremost, the quality of the cards is so top-notch that my handwriting was better because I didn’t want to mess them up. (Yes, I chose a Cross pen so that I knew the ink would be worthy of the card … though I’m sure other pens would be just fine).

The cards are created from 100% cotton paper. They’re pearl white and have a pink ribbon motif on the top; the envelopes are pink mist.

The caddy itself sits on the corner of my desk, ready for me to take pen to paper and thank someone who did something special for me, invite someone to participate in an event or wish someone well if they’re in the midst of a fight. It comes with 25 cards and matching pink envelopes.

Plus, $2/box will be donated directly to a breast cancer organization.

Last year, Crane gave funds to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, whose mission is to save lives by increasing awareness of breast cancer through education and by providing mammograms for those in need. NBCF funds free mammograms for women who could otherwise not afford them and supports research programs in leading facilities across the country. I’m sure they’ll give the money to another worthy organization this year and hopefully we can let you know who the beneficiary is at that time.

Definitely worth the $29 price tag if you’re into fine stationary.
