You know what’s rare today?  Handwritten sentiment.  I recommend you head on over to your local stationery store (the one that sells lots of letterpress cards and invitations).  Pick out a simple, elegant card and write a nice, personal note about what makes your boss great.  That will mean a lot more than a gift and it’s pretty easy on the wallet too.  If you feel a need to give a little gift, stop at your local starbucks and get a gift card or choose a nice pen at the stationery store.

Hint: While you’re picking out your card, pick up a box of cards to keep in your desk for the next holiday or birthday you’re a little late in remembering.

If you’re in Portland, Oregon, I highly recommend Oblation Papers & Press.  You’ll find a great card and plenty of unique gift choices.

I’m embracing my addiction and will be blogging about all things office. I’ll review products and share my finds. Perhaps best of all, I’ll soon launch an online shop called Office à la mode where I’ll offer cool office supplies, hand crafted office goods, and vintage decor items.

If you’re addicted to office things too, please let me know your favorites. I’ll be sharing some of my favorites soon….
