5 ways to use a Mini Note

When I designed my first set of Mini Notes almost 10 years ago, I could not have imagined all of the different ways people would end up using them. I imagined them as enclosure cards for gifts or something to tuck inside a bouquet of flowers, but it seems like you teach me new ways to use these mini notes every week!

In fact, that's one of my favorite things about the work I create. When I release my work into the world, you connect with it in your own creative ways and it changes into something personal to you or the ones you love. From sewing my tea towels into shirts or using my mini notes in art projects, you help my products become even more than I could imagine. So, I thought I'd share some of my favorite ways you use these mini notes in your daily lives…

1. Gift Notes

Whether tucked into a wrapped gift or placed on top of a plate of cookies, mini notes are the perfect size to accompany your gifts.

2. Lunchbox Notes

Whether you are slipping notes into your kid's or your spouse's lunchbox, these mini notes are a great way to say "I love you" or "good luck today!"

3. Dinner Place Cards

For holidays and dinner parties, mini notes can become gorgeous place cards for guests. You can even use them to write a thank you note to your guests, or have your guests respond to a fun party prompt (such as having guests write what they are thankful for at Thanksgiving dinner)!

4. On-The-Go Notes

You never know when you need to say a quick "thank you" or "I'm sorry." Keep a pack of mini notes in your bag so you're prepared to brighten someone's day when you're on the go.

5. To-Do Lists

I've heard that setting a few achievable goals for the day is better than a long list of to-do's. You can use mini notes as small daily to-do lists in order to boost your sense of accomplishment.
