Promising review: "What a nice stationery set! A whole lot of decorative papers and colorful envelopes. So pretty. It will last me a long time. There's something nice about writing on pretty stationery, that is fun to do and more fun, I believe, to receive. These are so much better than I expected." —Suzanne Schumacher

Promising review: "We bought this for my daughter to use at camp this summer as it looked very grown up and elegant. We really enjoyed getting letters from her on this paper.

Promising review: "Cute and easy to use. They are the envelope and the letter all in one. The pop out paw keeps it closed, but very loosely. I either used double sided tape or a glue stick to keep closed since I was sending cross country. I'd consider buying again. Not a lot of writing space if you want to write a well detailed letter. All in all good buy." —Ky

Promising review: "I first bought these when I needed to write out thank you cards for my customers and now I’m totally hooked! Not only do I think these provide an excellent quantity for the price, but the quality is even better. I love that the envelopes and cards accommodate different types of writing tools. So far, I have successfully used Sharpie markers, pens, crayons and colored pencils with no smearing or excessive bleeding." —chanellie

I was gifted this set and it has become my go-to anytime I need to send someone a little note. The box comes with 100 postcards that are so beautiful that I've also used some as decor in my office. If you'd prefer something different, they also have version featuring the art of Pixar or the Disney Princesses. This set is a real treasure for any Disney fan who appreciates a handwritten note.
