Thank you notes from Crane

With the arrival of our little one, my wife and I been overwhelmed with the outpouring of gifts and wonderful gestures from people. Baby clothes, food, well wishes and a myriad of other things are coming from friends, family and neighbors.

With each of these gifts my wife and I have been diligent about following up with thank you notes. We had stocked up on notes before the arrival of the baby but quickly ran out as the number of gifts we received quickly mounted. Luckily I found a sale on crane.com (40-50% off) which includes some some great child-themed thank you notes.

I picked up a few boxes of the Little Bear Thank You Notes, and they’re wonderful. The styling is classic and the paper is 100% cotton, not made from wood pulp, so it’s much more environmentally friendly than most paper products. The lined envelopes make the whole presentation of the thank you note seem very substantial and a worthy reciprocation of a gift. They also have Cambridge Blue Engraved Teddy Bear notes which are decidedly male for those of you who have a little boy.

Sending thank you notes is somewhat of a lost art, but it’s a practice we hope to instill in our young one. They’re a simple yet effective way to say thank you that many overlook. Crane.com also has a downloadable PDF about how to write thank you notes if you’ve become so used to typing brief emails that you need a refresher in the ways of pen and paper.
