I don't want to brag or anything, but I probably have one of the coolest weekend jobs out there (well, as cool as working on weekends can get!). I work at my friend's paper goods boutique where I sell unique greeting cards, journals, planners, and calendars by independent and local designers. So I'm always on the lookout for what's new in the world of paper when I'm not obsessing over fashion. Leave it to Kate Spade, aka Jane-of-all-trades, to create a holiday card set that I immediately want to send to all my friends and family members. Kate Spade read my mind because hope, peace, and warm cookies are probably my favorite aspects of the holidays. Then again, it probably applies for Santa Claus too! So if you've been looking for a non-cheesy Hallmark card alternative for the holidays, this is it.
Price: $35 for a set of 10 cards and envelopes
Who Found It: facadeindreams was first to add the Hope Peace Cookies Notecard Set to the Hive.
Our Favorite Non-Drugstore Valentine's Cards (Candy Not Included)

Valentine's Day gifts usually come with a generic greeting card from the local drugstore. While many greeting cards I receive from any occasion are promptly recycled, I like to keep the especially nice ones displayed on my walls or in a scrapbook. I've found 5 original Valentine's Day greeting cards that the recipient will want to jeep forever. Get a custom personalized greeting card with you and your sweetheart's name cut out. For kids or kids at heart, a cute dinosaur in love would be a hit at any party. So on this Valentine's Day, refrain from grabbing a totally forgettable card off that rack and get something they're remember long after that box of chocolates disappears. For more original Valentine's Day cards you won't find at the drugstore, click the slideshow!
