Guys, school has started and coffee shops everywhere are haphazardly throwing pumpkin spice into every baked good and beverage, it’s officially fall.

It’s a time to slow down and reflect, to re-evaluate goals and set new ones. More than anything, it makes me want to bundle up in a blanket, make a cup of strong tea, and spend an evening reconnecting with loved ones, near and far.

While I don’t have anything against emails or texts, there’s something innately magical and enduring about sending handwritten notes and cards. From searching out cover artwork, to penning personal messages, it’s a simple and nowadays, unexpected way to show you care.

If you look under my couch, you’ll find half a dozen shoeboxes (I swear I’m not a hoarder, just sappy) with every card and handwritten note I’ve ever received. It’s the first place I look when I’m feeling sad or need cheering up.

That’s why, we’ve teamed up with Hallmark Cards Inc, the world’s leading greeting card brand (did you know that? So cool!), to help you connect with your family, celebrate milestones, and create mementos that your pals will forever treasure.

One lucky winner will score the following prize pack valued at over $100!

• 5 Gallery cards

• 2 Signature cards

• 2 stationery sets

• 2 Note Card sets

• 1 Notebook

• 2 itty bittys® HAN SOLO™ and PRINCESS LEIA™ plush characters (so FUN!)
