Personalized Holiday Card Contest from Night Owl Paper Goods

If you haven’t read any of my previous posts, Night Owl Paper Goods offers so many options for holiday stationery. Their 2014 holiday collection is really nice and includes both paper styles as well as wood holiday and Christmas cards. With the personalization, you can truly make them reflect you and your family. There are countless front options including photo, multi-photo, and text-only, as well as 11 different back options. For a super fun way to send your greeting this year, go with their speciality-shape ornament cards which come in a variety of styles.

The Night Owl Paper Goods team are professional graphic designers who love their customers, so working with them is sure to be a hoot. Another thing I love about this company, everything is handmade here in the USA. Created in 2004, the boutique stationery company has been doing a great job at combining unique modern/folksy designs with sustainable methods.

A Hoot of a Sale for the Holidays

The holidays are right around the corner! This is a great time to get started on your cards for this season and get them checked off the list. My good friends over at Night Owl Paper Goods is having a great early bird sale on their holiday card collection and I wanted to share it with all of you. They have already announced this special last week, which is 20% of all personalized holiday cards + free shipping on all orders that total $49 and up. This is a deal you shouldn’t miss!

A Hoot of a Sale for the Holidays

This years collection features larger sizes, more ornament shapes, and now 12 unique back options to choose from. Their wood cards are printed on sustainably-harvested birch wood and their standard paper cards are printed on budget-friendly FSC certified paper. Even their envelopes contain 30-100% recycled post-consumer waste. I love how they consider earth friendly options and standards for their company. And a big bonus is everything is made in the USA.

Ordering from their website is simple and their personalization tools are quick and easy to use. And even if you want to place an order now but not sure what photos you want to use, you can still take advantage of this great sale and upload your photos later. From traditional and modern to whimsical and adorable, you are sure to find a style you love. The only hard part might be deciding on one design because they have such a good selection!

Getting a head start on your holiday cards is a smart move so taking advantage of sales like this definitely helps! If anything, it motivates us all to get up and get moving before it gets really crazy and we are behind. Night Owl has always offered such great selections on all their cards and items and why not support a company that holds such thoughtful practices. So check out their collection and save some money! The sale ends October 31st!

Here are a few of my faves. Happy shopping!
