We’re Looking for The Latest Stationery Trends

16 May

Hi all,

So excited! We are just days away from leaving for the National Stationery Show in New York at the Jacob K. Javitz Convention Center. This annual industry tradeshow focuses on personal social stationery, invitations and gifts. This is our 15th year attending and we always feel an eager sense of anticipation to see what the hot trends are and to view how the stationery and gift lines in the market are evolving. We also look forward working directly with our vendors to create new, exclusive products.

The Stationery Show is also the perfect opportunity for us to hear latest industry gossip and to meet and greet with colleagues and friends. We look forward to walking the show to see what new products we’ll fall in love with. One of our favorite things is to see all of the new up-and-coming vendors who are new to the industry. They often have an interesting and fresh take on the latest trends and designs.

As the 2012 winner of the Trendy Online Stationer of the Year Award from Stationery Trends Magazine, the industry’s highest honor, I’m especially proud to be attending this year!

Make Campers Happy with Personalized Gifts

9 May

Getting ready and packed for overnight camp can be a challenge for parents trying to help campers feel at home while away at overnight camp.  Personalized camp gifts not only make campers feel special, but help their camp goods from getting lost in the cabin shuffle.

Encourage campers to write home the old-fashioned way.  Since most camps ban e-mail and text correspondence, your campers will be thankful to have his or her own personalized stationery sets.  Fun note cards encourage campers to put pen to paper this summer.  These fun, unique camp designs in flatcards or foldovers will be the envy of kids’ bunkmates. Clipboards are perfect to lean on when writing and keep notes from home together.  Parents should pre-address the envelopes and use pre-printed return address labels or custom stampers.

Label everything with easy solutions.   Whether parents choose to sew or iron on names, TheStationeryStudio.com makes it easy and takes the headache out of labeling for camp. These 100% soft cotton iron-on labels are great for the identification of campers’ clothing.  Whatever option parents choose for labeling is made easier if they plan ahead and get prepared with this variety of options.

Buy personalized towels and wraps.  Fashion meets function when kids head to the lake or showers with our personalized wraps and unique monogrammed towels.  Theirs won’t end up in the lost and found.

Make sure kids have what they need for organization and identification. Personalized laundry bags and custom cosmetic cases are a great way to ensure that what is sent to camp comes back home clean (or at least these bags keep the dirty laundry contained)!  Don’t forget luggage tags so the bags get to and from where they need to go.

Add some extra special fun items  to help ease homesickness.  A personalized pillowcase will help campers into a peaceful slumber after a long day.  Diaries and writing journals are also a special item that will help campers write about their feelings of independence during rest hour and make special keepsakes, which will last a lifetime.

Make sure that your campers can keep in touch with their camp friends after summer. “Stay in Touch” personalized calling cards are a quick way to remind new friends that they can correspond all year long until they meet again.
