Forget Me Notes

Stationery Service at An Jé Nu

First, you were blindsided by your mother-in-law’s birthday. Then, in the
wee hours of your anniversary, you left claw marks on Hallmark’s door.

Keeping track of the calendar is not your forte.

So why not let someone else handle the devil in the details? Kristie Wagner, owner of Wicker Park’s paper boutique An Jé Nu, can keep you in everyone’s good graces.

Each year, members of Wagner’s card club receive twelve or 24 cards, customized to suit friends and family members. The collection includes notes by designers like Soolip and Herman Yu. Packages are delivered to your mailbox two weeks prior to the honored occasion. For a couple extra bucks, she’ll even spoon-feed you wording.

Money can’t buy love, but a little cash can give you some insurance against future screw-ups.

All you have to do is seal it with a kiss.

Available at An Jé Nu, 1747 West Division Street, at Hermitage Avenue (773-469-2212 or anjenu.com).
