A few suggestions
- First and foremost, go to the stationery shops around your neighborhood and take a look at the kind of products they have in stock. Do not make up your mind in a hurry. You could also check the internet for stores that sell stationery online.
- Select a product that you feel will be attractive to the recipient both visually and otherwise. Most stationery comes with letters that have matching envelopes in themes and designs that cater to a wide variety of tastes.
- Select a color and theme that you think matches the recipient’s tastes. Ask the store what their policy is for customizing the paper, you might select a monogram already in stock or design one of your own.
- Buy at least a minimum of 25 sheets but a really thoughtful number would be 52 sheets, one for each week of the year. You could also add a few assorted greeting cards to go with the stationery.
