"The Best Things Come To Those Who Hustle" Print

Most of us have a little hustle in us, for different reasons. Some follow their artistic dreams any way they can, others stack paper, others just get out of bed in the morning! Whatever your hustle looks like, know that when you do your best, good things will come back to you.

Hashtag Card

#happybirthday, #congratulations, #happyanniversary #itsagirl... the list of how you choose to use this soft pink with gold foil hashtag card goes on.

"Oh Hi" Card

More gold! As I've blathered on about before, all of my friends are scattered all over, and this petite white and gold card is perfect for me to send to one of those buddies who left me!

"Thinking Of You" Card

Delicate flowers and mixed typefaces adorn this lovely minty green card. My mind never stops chugging along, thinking of my friends, family, and the cute dude I saw once at a bus stop. I can't send this to the last one, but I can to the first two.

"Thanks A Million" Card

I love this card for the colors and simple illustration. Purple and mint hands embrace, thanking one another. A million is a lot, so it must have been something really special.

"Congrats On Finding Your Person" Birthday Card

People are still getting engaged all the time, so I'm glad to have a card waiting in the queue for such an event. Per usual, this illustration is crazy cute with the little ring box.

"You Did It!" Card

I fancy myself to be a cheerleader for my loved ones at all times. I like to celebrate their accomplishments and support them in whatever they do. My friend Ash is about to finish school to be a Nurse Practitioner (something I could never do in a million years), and this card can't shout loud enough for her, but it will certainly try.

"Miss You Mucho" Card

Ugh- all of these cards are reminding me of the people I miss! The color combo here of lapis, chartreuse, mint, and purple is outstanding.

"Another Year Around The Sun" Card

The dyed linen vibe of this card is awesome, especially complemented by the gold foil. It's cool to see a birthday card that doesn't actually mention the word "birthday". V clever.

"Happy Birthday" Dinosaur Card

I feel like dinosaurs are a popular theme for birthday cards lately. They always seem to be wearing a party hat, which I am 100% ok with. It's quite funny.

"Hello" Postcard

Well, hello to you too.

Faux Washi Tape Stickers

These are pretty unique stickers that mimic washi tape. They are actually quite large and would be perfect for sealing an envelope. The paper is thick, so it's easy to use without it curling up and getting stuck to itself like washi tape sometimes does. The phrases "summer lovin'", "Hello Summer", and "let's just chill" are really fun.

"Notes" Notepad

Lastly, they've given us a cool but simple minty/teal notepad. I'm an avid list-maker, so this is perfect for all the things I need jot down.

Verdict: Happy Mail always brings me so much joy. I'm glad to have built up quite the arsenal of legit awesome cards that I have on hand to send out, and love love love the extras they include (such as the stickers and notepad). You can't beat the value of this subscription since you get NINE greeting cards, a postcard, fun stickers, a print, and a notepad for $20! Last month will be the last month for it (SAD FACE), but I look forward to see what Oui Fresh brings.

How'd you like this month's Happy Mail?

I also would be ok with dinosaurs wearing other hats. Top hat, sun hat, cowboy hat, etc. maybe not a baseball hat though. Seems like putting a t-Rex in headgear which requires you to bat, throw and catch would be a bit ironic.
