Rediscover the art of letter writing

Even though we all rely more and more on the internet and email for our everyday communication, there’s still something extra special about getting a letter or card delivered. It brightens anyone’s day if they find a handwritten custom-printed envelope in amongst the piles of bills…

So why not make an effort this year to take the time to write to family and friends using matching paper and envelopes that will make them feel that writing to them is more important than dashing off a quick email or even worse, a ‘round robin’?

Browse through our existing designs to find one you like and that represents you, or design your own for a truly personal touch.

Encourage your friends and family to do the same – a matching and personalised set of letter paper, note cards or thank you cards would make a great birthday gift. You could even complete the set with a personalised notebook decorated with a favourite photo or inspirational quote!

Create a personalised or engraved pen to go with the set, and you will have an elegant and attractive gift, that is both practical and will remind the recipient of you! Either that, or get yourself the set and make keeping in touch a real pleasure.

Choosing a thoughtful gift for your loved one

Vistaprint UK — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 16:07:04 +0000

The shops are already full of gifts for Valentine’s Day. Everywhere you look, there are flowers, balloons, teddy bears and chocolates.

But this Valentine’s Day you want something a little different. You don’t want to settle for the usual, predictable gift. You want to surprise your loved one with something really thoughtful and special.

So put down that teddy bear, or the chocolate shaped like a heart and instead consider photo books for your Valentine’s gift this year.

This can make for a really special gift. You can fill the photo books with photos of special moments in your relationship. Perhaps you have some snaps from the early days followed by some photos of your first special holiday together. Maybe you could add photos of you as a couple with your friends and perhaps a photo of you with your families.

These photo books can act like timelines and can remind your partner what a lovely relationship you have together.

So if you’re struggling for ideas for gifts this year, then consider photo books; they’re much more thoughtful than generic Valentine’s gifts.

VistaPrint – Keep in Touch With Photo Note Cards

Are photo note cards useful for anything but birth and wedding related events?

“Boy, I bet your children have grown. What do they look like now?” If you’re getting calls like this from far away friends and relatives or your enlisted loved one, it is time to send out photos. Of course, you can email a picture to your computer literate acquaintances, but then they’ll have to use ink to print the images out. For those who aren’t able to access a computer or who don’t have a printer handy, a snail mailed photo is the only good solution. Photo note cards are perfect for keeping in touch with friends and family and sharing how big your children are getting or how adorable your new puppy looks.

Unless you are planning to send a large quantity of cards at the same time, you probably won’t want to order hundreds of cards at once. After all, it would feel pretty awkward to send cards with a picture of your one year old child on them when he or she is eight or nine years old. Instead, order enough cards to send to everyone who would enjoy an updated photo and add on an additional card for your scrapbook. Then, start planning the next photo note card design.
