We based our latest window display on a new Valentine’s card motif with a quote from Louis de Bernières’ Captain Corelli’s Mandolin:
”We have roots that grow towards each other underground and when all the pretty blossom has fallen from our branches we find that we are not one tree but two.”
Our favourite gifts for February 14th? A new ‘Everyday I Love You’ pocket-sized Wafer notebook and the truly special ‘Love Letters’ book, bound in beautiful Red Mara leather featuring a collection of love letters and correspondence from celebrated writers, poets and notable figures throughout history. Personalize the front cover with your loved one’s name or initials for a Valentine’s gift to be treasured for many years to come…

George’s letterhead is printed on Smythson White Wove paper with our exclusive Hamilton Hall font in black ink.

Tips for Thank Yous…
January 6, 2010 by Smythson Site EditorPutting off those post-Christmas thank yous? Here are some handy hints to help you along…
- Speed – quick replies to invitations make life easier for the people organizing a party and quick thank you letters are easier to write (ie you can still remember the event).
- Personality – avoid the ‘bread and butter; formula by mentioning something you specifically enjoyed/liked about your gift/the party you attended.
- A great tip is to not use the words ‘thank you’ for as long as possible!
- Traditionally, it is thought polite to go over the page, rather than scribbling a hasty single side.
Use a thank you notelet…
Or a correspondence card with a pretty motif.
