If you really want to get someone’s attention when saying something meaningful, you need to use actual paper and write in cursive. Preferably on a medium that reflects your personal style.

Perfect for thank-you notes, party invitations and giftwrapping, these are postcard-sized sheets with a music score on the back and lines for writing on the front. Envelopes of just the right size are included, as is a decorative little box for keeping them neatly on your desk.

These note cards can’t, unfortunately, actually sing your message to the recipient. This would have been a nice touch, but also isn’t really what this piece of stationary is all about.

We have to mention, unfortunately, that we would really have expected better quality at this price for only 50 cards: the paper is wobbly instead of stiff and the printing seems kind of shabby. This makes them suitable for casual messages with a little bit of personality, but not what you would use for a note that’s really meant to impress.

On the other hand, if you don’t insist on perfection in something which is only intended to be used once, their novelty factor and distinctiveness make them worth buying for the right person.
