My 15 year old daughter has a definite sense of style and very strong opinions. She knows what she likes and what she does NOT like. Thankfully, texting has not completely replaced her desire to write stuff down. I still find little notes all over the place. American Stationery carries several products that appeal to my teenager and her girlfriends: the Rainbow Memo Set is a huge hit! This colorful assortment of various sized and personalized sheets covers every situation. The Signature Color Notes are ideal for thank you notes or letters home from camp. I’ve also discovered that these girls like to have their own address labels—they use them in all sorts of creative ways in addition to their intended use. The girls can stick a label on just about anything to indicate it’s their personal property. Cell phones and computers can’t completely replace all beneficial forms of communication!
