Brand Next Door: Paper Culture — The Brand Next Door

Dec 4 Brand Next Door: Paper Culture

If you’ve been here even just a minute, you know I love brands with big missions. I think it was while I was googling BBQ invitations for ODP’s first birthday that I found Paper Culture, and for three years I’ve used them for EVERYTHING.

In their words:

“By choosing Paper Culture, you start with a small act: selecting products made with 100% recycled paper and other eco-friendly materials. We then offset 100% of the carbon footprint of production. Finally, we plant a tree with every order and by doing so, actively make the planet better than before your purchase. Together, we’ve planted over 1,000,000 trees.”

I’ve dedicated every tree I’ve planted with every order to my dad. That makes me feel good. Sometimes, it really is the little things. They are the big things, after all.

What bothers me about a lot of card sellers is there are SO MANY options. I love options, but it gets to a point where you just get dizzy from it all and throw your phone to the side or slam your laptop down because it’s just too much. I like Paper Culture’s filtering and pretty, but easy-to-find-minimal options that don’t look like anything else out there. They’re also highly customizable and easy to update on your phone!

This year, I made a really dumb error on our Christmas cards and didn’t opt for their extra designer review, which I thought I had, especially since I messed up Baby B’s birth announcements, too. That was a smaller error that I was able to fix with a pen, but I was MORTIFIED that I had made errors twice, and so I sucked up my pride and emailed them. About 24 hours later, they replied and were so kind—offered to fix my typo and send me new cards at no charge, even when it was all my fault. Paper Culture has my business for good, and I hope you’ll give them a look, too. I didn’t even know they existed until I did, and I’ve never gone back. This is not at all sponsored—I’m sharing a brand I love because they’ve been good to me, and they’re good to the world. They’d be good to you, too. Plus, they’re offering 50% off holiday cards until 12.12.

ILYSM, Paper Culture! Thanks for being a brand next door!
