Now that my older daughter is reading and writing, I’m eager to share my love of personal correspondence with her. But then, I’m not ready to spend the cash on the fancy monogrammed stuff for her just yet.

Mabel’s Labels, the same company that makes those awesome labels for everything from sweatshirts to shoes, has launched a line of smart, affordable personalized stationery kits just for kids. I like that the simple designs and bright colors are fun without getting cutesy or babyish.

Whether you’re mom to a budding poet or a clown who claims he can’t write because his arm is broken, this cool paper will entice any kid to sit down and pen a note to Grandma. If only for the fun of sealing the envelope with a personalized sticker. –Julie

Congratulations to winners Frannie T and Jennifer R!
