paper&stuff is a stationery and gift brand where wit connects and design elevates.
Always a little offbeat, every piece blends clever lines, playful visuals, and thoughtful details. Our products are high-quality, vibrantly designed, and personal enough to turn inside jokes and shared quirks into keepsakes.
From greeting cards to gift bags and beyond, p&s is all about creating products worth keeping — not tossing. Stuff that feels bold, clever, and made for the people who already get you.

Our philosophy:
If it’s not worth keeping, it’s not worth making.
In a world full of disposable and forgettable, we stand for the lasting. It’s about intentionality — for the customer, and for the planet.
We’re not here to churn out products for the sake of it. The world doesn’t need more things destined for the trash tomorrow.
What it does need?
Wit that feels personal.
Design that feels vibrant.
Moments that are worth saving.
At paper&stuff, we create products that connect because they already get you — the inside jokes, the quirks, the knowing smirks. Cards and gifts that don’t just pass through hands, but earn a spot on fridges, shelves, and memory boxes.
Because if it’s going to exist in the world, it should mean something. For you, your people, and the planet.
Hey there, I'm Michele!I’m the founder of paper&stuff, an award-winning, design-forward stationery and gift brand where bold, playful designs meet high-quality craftsmanship.

After over 10 years of working in brand design, I created paper&stuff as a way to share my love for tangible products with bold, modern designs and a touch of humor. Every product is carefully crafted to stand out and bring something fresh to the world of gifting. I’m also committed to sustainability, using eco-friendly materials and packaging that align with my values.

Beyond paper&stuff, I’m always diving into new creative projects that push my skills. From licensing my designs to experimenting with digital products, I’m constantly exploring ways to evolve as a designer. I also curate designthings.info, a platform I created to highlight the best design studios and type foundries from around the world. As if I’m not already doing so. much. stuff, I’m also the Chair of the Louie Committee for the GCA.
