Mail from Present and Correct

I don't know whether it's just that I'm getting old or the novelty factor of paper goods in a digital age,but I'm becoming more and more obsessed with stationery. Nothing gets my ink running quite like some old school erasers, beautifully covered notebooks, customised stamps or,best of all-real mail in the post.Lucky for me and anyone else suffering from a similar fetish, there's now a plethora of retail experts and artists catering to our craving for the white stuff.

Paper goods a plenty are supplied by Present and Correct, a fantastically stylish site dedicated to office supplies with a retro vibe.Brilliant packaging like this Christmas cracker full of rubbers,stamps and a merry christmas pencil knock regular crackers out of the water.These snow globe stamps are a great stocking filler.
