I love these designs! I think the brown Chef’s Table recipe cards would be perfect for my Dad. He has all these little pieces of scrap paper in a drawer in his kitchen with recipes on them. Not only would it help him organize them, but it would be stylish too!
Lauren L on 06.10.2010 at 10:15 AM
My father, a computer engineer, sends letters by scrawling a couple sentences in black Sharpie on used printer paper.
I think he would totally be won over by the Techno design in blue for resembling his geeky computer passions, and might leave his Sharpie days behind!
rstukes on 06.10.2010 at 10:30 AM
i’d choose evolution because he’s a techie
rstukes on 06.10.2010 at 10:32 AM
