You know that feeling when you're wrapping Christmas presents, with music playing and a warm drink by your side?

Well, why not give writing a card the same treatment?

With Thanksgiving coming up, we thought we'd share our recipe for a cozy evening.

Get yourself a nice drink and put on some music. For us, it'll be an extra-chocolatey hot cocoa with a mountain of whipped cream on top, please! And Dashboard by Noah Kahan playing in the background.

Now let’s find a comfortable spot and grab a card and a pen.

Thanksgiving is a good reminder to think about the people who matter to us. Maybe there's a friend you haven't seen in a while, a family member you miss, or someone you'd simply like to surprise.

A card doesn’t need much. Sometimes a favorite memory or a simple “This made me think of you” is enough.

Recently, Solène received a letter from a friend in Switzerland. Tucked inside was a tiny stone from a mountain her friend had visited over the summer.

Solène had just been to Alcatraz, so she included a little stone from the island in her reply.

Two little stones exchanged across the Atlantic!

Have someone in mind? Here's a card you can use.

We're sharing a free printable version of our pumpkin pie illustration, without any text, so you can use it for Thanksgiving or another occasion.

Print on US Letter or A4 paper at 100% (Actual Size). Use the corner marks as cutting guides, then fold the card in half.

What would you tuck into an envelope to make your letter even more personal?

And if you’d like to see a few more designs, here are some of our love and friendship cards.
