Back in July, for my 26th (yes I'm getting old...sigh) bday, my friend Sendil (can be pronounced SEN-dal or SIN-dell) gifted me one of the most
personal/sentimental gifts I've ever received (note I said one of...). I had dragged him into a stationery store back in June, him and Gerard, if I recall correctly, and made them wait around while I checked out cool new things that the store was promoting.
Sendil, if you don't know him, is an eco-fiend. He works at TESLA motors (yes he's given me a lift in a roadster and it was AWESOME), and he will opt to take the bus instead of driving to spare the air even though he has a pretty sweet car (Check-out the post 'Beep Beep' for more info). In any case, instead of just buying me some ordinary stationery, he opted to combine my obsession with stationery, with his obsession with eco-friendliness.
Introducing (to those of you who I haven't already talked about it with) Green|Fingerprint Letterpress Stationery:
The envelopes are even personalized with my home address (which I didn't provide him). How awesome!
Green|Fingerprint uses 100% post consumer recycled and tree-free paper. And the picture doesn't do justice to how nice the stationery actually is. Anyways, check-out their site at www.green-fingerprint.com.
And for all of you ladies out there getting married, check-out their invitation sets... even you South Asian ladies, they'll create a design with paisleys (called mango print in India) or even Ganesha on it...if that is what you desire.
Fun Fact: Stationery is spelled with 'ery' and not 'ary'
Also, please stay tuned for other great gift ideas (also delayed)!
Nice post, this was clearly one of my better performances regarding gift-giving.
ReplyDeleteGreen Fingerprint = the bomb. I heard they just got a new Chief Marketing Officer...
Wait, can I just say that I wrote this whole post with the wrong use of "stationary" and then I even made a fun fact about it that was wrong... thanks for the correction Puneet.
ReplyDeleteLove love love it :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Sendil, Green Fingerprint does = "the bomb".
