Gifting stationery is truly the gift that keeps on giving. It's not just another notepad, it's an invitation for your loved one to enjoy a space to pour out their thoughts, plans and dreams to put them into action. When you write it down, it's a wonderful way to not only process your jumbled ideas but also a gentle commitment to yourself to taking note and getting it done so that you can enjoy other moments in your life with thoughtfulness.
This Carlita Hearts Christmas Gift Guide is curated for that stationery adorer in your life, and the best part? All watercolour elements are hand painted by me, and made locally in South Africa from start to finish. Gift clarity, beauty and thoughtfulness this festive season with these well-designed stationery pieces.
