It's in the Cards

Smudge Ink Stationery

Your rabid fear of carpal tunnel syndrome (it, like, could happen) has been a fail-safe excuse for shirking thank-you note responsibilities.

Shelve your hypochondria (and your rude, rude ways) with note cards from Smudge Ink stationery. Started by two (doubtlessly well-mannered) friends, the Charlestown, Massachusetts-based company churns out bright, bold cards, pads, and custom invitations.

The newest addition is a collection of shopping totes made from recycled materials with colorful, snazzy designs like hot pink poppies and bright green leaves.

And for those special occasions that sneak up on you (damn you, Valentine’s Day), pick up a few packs of mini punch-out cards. They’re small, so you won’t have to write much.

It’ll just take a flick of the wrist.

Available at Rugg Road Paper Company, 105 Charles Street, Beacon Hill (617-742-0002); online at smudgeink.com.
