In Part Two of our “Staff’s Favorite Things” roundup, thick, rich stock and simple luxury are the names of the gift giving game.

Peter, Crane & Co. Guru: “A social card letter pressed on extra heavyweight Crane’s Lettra. It starts a conversation every time, and they’ll never lose your number.”

Aaron, Online Shopping Yoda: “The hand-bordered cards showcase our craftsmanship, while the design remains classic and professional.”

Judy, Duchess of Design: “It’s hands down the best 100% cotton paper, luxurious with the substance to back it up. Doing a watercolor postcard project with this paper is on my list of to-do’s.”

Jessica, Empress of Wordlandia: “I don’t ride horses, but I’m obsessed with equestrian style, and I love the minimalist design of this hat and crop. Understated elegance with a hint of aristocratic kitsch.”
