Check out these examples of cute, unique, interesting and sometimes just weird stationery. Handwritten notes make an even bigger statement nowadays, and these stationery standards help make that statement even bigger.
Just imagine the look on their faces when they get stationery made of meat, or stationery with anatomically correct drawings on it. It's all much more personalized than the standard e-mail.
Implications - Gadgets record everything, but the traditional method of noting things down hasn't been lost. Even though technology is dominant, many people are still using the pen and pad when their devices fail them. To keep up with the very cutting-edge tech products, many designers are adding a cute element into stationary products to prove to consumers that the lost art of writing is still fun.
