6 Reasons Why Stationery makes for a Great Gift.

Here at Par Avion Paper we love stationery and for us it’ll never be fully succeeded by digital tools. There’s a greater sense of control and flexibility with paper. You can brainstorm, sketch out ideas for a project or make a to do list for example. With that in mind, we believe that stationery is a thoughtful gift that can be appreciated by a wide range of recipients. Here’s why!

  1. It’s Practical!

Be it a notebook, pens, sticky notes- these items are useful to everyone at any stage of their life; be it studying, working or someone who enjoys writing or drawing. Gifting these items, you know they’re likely to get used and be a handy gift too!

  • You Can Personalise It

Stationery can be personalised with custom names, initials or designs which add to your gift being a thoughtful one. Our Doggo To Do Lists are a great example of ways to personalise a to do list. They don’t just have the recipient’s name on them, but their dog breed too! These extra touches show that you’ve been thoughtful in your choice of gift and really thought about what the recipient enjoys.

  • The Aesthetic Appeal

As we always say, who said stationery had to be dull anyway? If you’re buying stationery as a gift, there’s so many options to choose from that will match with the recipient’s style and taste. There are many varieties available from bold and vibrant to muted and understated which can match with a person’s mood, surroundings and even décor! Our founder Kat loves her stationery to compliment her office’s sage aesthetic so you’re sure to find her colour palette of stationery matching her surroundings!

  • Sentimentality

With the rise of the digital age, handwritten notes and letters are becoming increasingly rare. With that in mind, stationery makes for a sentimental gift that will encourage the receiver to slow down and write something meaningful. Tell us of someone who wouldn’t find joy in receiving a thoughtful, handwritten note? Not only that, the act of writing a handwritten note or letter can be a therapeutic and mindful practice, allowing someone to slow down, reflect on their thoughts and feelings as well as express their creativity!

  • It’s such a versatile gift!

Stationery really is a versatile gift that you can give to anyone at any time! It could be a birthday, graduation, as a thank you or even just for the hell of it and when it’s personalised it’s even more thoughtful and well received.

6. Productivity

Each piece of stationery we make at Par Avion Paper is intended to empower, uplift and inspire the user. With that in mind it also has a knock-on effect of not just being a lovely gift. For example, a to do list can help the user stay on top of things, taking responsibility for tasks and keeping track. In turn, this can help reduce stress and anxiety and ensure that nothing falls through the cracks! A to do list can also encourage self-care because who’s to say you have to use a to-do list purely for chores and errands? We love to block out time for self-care on our lists. Things such as a relaxing bath, a run or taking a break to enjoy a book or hobby are just some of the ways we use our to-do lists and it encourages us to prioritise our wellbeing. Wouldn’t that be a lovely added bonus to gifting someone stationery?

Overall, a to-do list can be a practical, personal and thoughtful gift that can be appreciated anytime, anywhere and at any age. Check out some of our to do lists here and if there’s a particular design that you’d like creating for that special someone, we can make that happen too! Get in touch and let’s get creating.

Best wishes,
