If there’s anything that made me more weepy than is customary during those first few days after having my son, it was all the kind notes of congratulations sent to me. I’d like to reciprocate, except getting out the house with two kids to find the perfect baby card every time gets tough.

So my plan is to grab a set of these fantastic Good News and Baby Shoes cards from Three Wheels Design, a modern paper shop after my own heart. Mom of two Vicki Shields employs simple, elegant graphics in a pack of six different cards, any of which looks like I picked it out individually.

Vicki also does beautiful personalized stationery which makes a great last minute holiday gift for just $20. The bird is perfect for a friend or sitter, while there are great (and thankfully not cutesie) options for kids from sports fanatics to animal lovers.

But for now, I’m sticking with the perfectly elegant preprinted stuff.  For $12, I can be that cool person who makes someone’s day without having set one foot into a card shop. -Kristen 

Vicki is kindly extending her Xmas order deadline to 12/17 and use code CMPNICE for free shipping.

Congrats to winner Carmen D!
