# Snarky Stationery The Dear Blank Please Blank Project is a Series of Cheeky Letterpress Cards By Clarissa Hilary Basham | Published 2011-03-26 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dear-blank-please-blank References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/hilarious-hypothetical-letters) & [dearblankpleaseblank](http://dearblankpleaseblank.com/index.php) The Dear Blank, Please Blank project is a series of letterpress cards filled with user-submitted short letters. Some of the funniest examples have been printed by Sapling Press for sale on at its [Etsy storefront](http://www.etsy.com/shop/shopsaplingpress). The notes are clever; for example, one features a letter to Noah from "The Unicorns," stating that they were confused as to what time the ark was leaving. There’s even a letter from John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. With these cards, and the corresponding website, you can create your own fictional [funny letters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scratch-reveal) for a quick laugh. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **User-submitted Letterpress Cards:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a platform where users can submit and customize their own letterpress cards. - **Humorous Greeting Cards:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a line of cheeky greeting cards that offer a unique and witty twist. - **Interactive Fictional Letter Writing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build an online platform that allows users to write and share fictional funny letters for entertainment purposes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Letterpress Printing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate technology into traditional letterpress printing methods to streamline production and create unique designs. - **E-commerce and Online Marketplaces:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop an e-commerce platform specifically for selling niche and unique stationery products. - **Digital Entertainment and Content Creation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design a digital platform where users can easily create and share interactive fictional content, such as funny letters. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Quirky eCard Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happiepages.md) - [Convenient Online Greeting Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-tree-cards.md) - [AI-Written Printed Letters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snappysnail.md) - [Greeting Card Kiosks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greeting-card-kiosk.md) - [Child-Created Card Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cards-against-humanity-family-edition-1.md) - [Personality-Forward Bookmark Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humdrum-paper.md) - [Designer Stationary Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-source-1.md) - [Anonymous Letter Sending](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anonymous-letter.md) - [Unconventional Valentine Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-disingenuous-romance-day-valentine-card.md)
