Yes, this is what passes for communication these days.

Convenient. But some sentiments require a bit more in the way of substance.

For such moments, head to Lucky Paperie, a new boutique specializing in letterpress printing. Owner and designer Sara Waldron carries her own greeting cards, stationery, and photo books, along with the work of local artisans and up-and-comers. The look is clean, classic, and modern: crisp, tactile imprints and defined text on high-quality textured paper, all of which is customizable. While you’re there, pick up some colorful wrapping paper and a stylish ribbon and you’ll always send the right message.

Though it may cost you 37 cents to get it there.

Lucky Paperie, 985 East Green Street, between Mentor and Catalina Avenues (626-440-9440 or luckypaperie.com).
