~~The giveaway is now CLOSED~~While we are applauding the merits of going paperless and doing things electronically (email, e-card, e-book, e-invitation, e-announcement, e-statement, e-journal...you name it!), have you ever missed the good old days when we sent and received handwritten letters? I do. I miss that personal touch that cannot be duplicated in an email. I'm so happy to be recently introduced to
KindNotes, a unique way to have a change of pace from the hustle and bustle of modern life and to celebrate those nostalgic moments.
What exactly is
KindNotes? It's "a container of messages in miniature decorative envelopes to be opened each day by the recipient." It started as short sweet love notes from the Founder to her then-boyfriend-now-husband (You may want to read more about the touching story behind the creation of KindNotes
here). Now it can be anything that will send a smile to the recipient--thank-you notes, love notes, words of inspiration--the possibilities are endless.

My favorite feature of KindNotes is that you may easily customize your order with the 5-step interactive wizard as pictured above. Select the container, filling, envelope design, ribbon and messages. You have the option to choose from over 400 ready made
messages, to have your personalized messages handwritten for you, or to request blank papers. Each completed selection will be authenticated with an exclusive KindNote metal charm.

Luckily, I was given the opportunity to review a sample of
KindNotes including 31 inspirational messages along with some blank paper, and several mini envelopes of different designs. I was initially impressed by its nice look. But as I was reading through the witty notes, I was deeply moved by the time and care that had been taken to enclose these messages in the mini envelopes! It's certainly the best quality handmade notes I've ever seen.
KindNotes is a memorable and meaningful gift good for any occasion. The exquisite designs make it a fabulous addition to your home decor. I strongly recommend you to consider
KindNotes the next time you shop for gifts. Or you may place an order now and receive a 5% discount using code
