Good Impression

12.08.2008

The Bite:
imageWanna be remembered for sending out "Happy Ho-Ho-Holidays!" cards? Us either. So leave your (stylish and quirky) mark with goods from Tiselle. Its Yuletide cards (like the Baroque Joy notes, see photo) are debossed (read: have a design pressed in) and carry unique, noncheesy messages. And if you love 'em, T’s got you covered year-round with b-day wishes and casual correspondence stationery, such as the tactile Dot Six collection (comedy is knowing the Braille for "WTF"). A 25-solar-panel-strong roof powers four vintage presses, and everything's made with 100% FSC-certified, unbleached cotton and postconsumer paper. Plus, Tiselle discounts mistake cards rather than trashing them. We approve.
Wanna Try: 
Tiselle, available online at Broadway Paper or at Pulp 425 S. La Brea Ave. Map It (323-937-3506). Tiselle will be at the Unique Los Angeles Independent Design & Gift Sale, Dec. 13-14, 11 am-7 pm. Baroque Joy card, $4.50; $15/6 cards.

Cocktail Fact

Every time you lick a stamp, you consume 1/10 of a calorie.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 LA Biters each send 10 recycled greeting cards instead of conventional notes, we'll save 20 trees.
