potw: thankful

"you give me a gift? BAM! thank you note. you invite me somewhere? POW! rsvp. you do me a favor? WHAM! favor returned. do not test my politeness."

--andy bernard, the office

growing up, my mom used to make us write thank you notes to our relatives before we could go play with our new stuff on christmas. she's a stickler for politeness, just like our friend andy up there.

so today i wanted to feature a few pretty little letterpressed thank you cards to make this exercise in politeness feel like less of an obligation.

there are loads more out there of course. this is just a small sampling. and although i didn't meet my mom's deadline this year, sending out personal notes of thanks is a perfect way to close the holiday loop + tell people how much you really did love that sweater they got you.

may be the perfect time to use these, too.
