The Monochrome Baby Gift Bundle by Aston Baby was curated by our Catherine Lowe with favorites for her Samuel.

We pride ourselves on having cards for all occasions. And baby gifting is one of them. Aston Baby approached us about creating a bundle and it couldn't be a better fit.

The Monochrome Baby Gift Bundle was curated by Catherine Lowe with her new son Samuel in mind. This very special bundle includes Never Forget Classic Milestone Cards, Sleep Soundly Universal Cover, Scrub A Bub Bar and Low Down Harem Pants. Get 20% off this bundle when you use promo code 'catherinelovessamuel'. Yay!

The bundle is gender-neutral, but LoweCo. has paired our MY FAVORITE COLOR IS BYOU poco with this bundle in honor of baby boy Samuel and our ISN'T SHE LOVELY poco would be splendid for moms of little baby girls.

So head to astonbaby.com to gift a new mom this practical and sweet bundle but only after you snag one of our cards to tell her why you got it :)

For my mom's 29th birthday, she asked that we give a seat for our upcoming event CALLIGRAPH-HAAAY to someone who tells us a story. Not just any story, but one of gratitude. These are her words: 

"In honor of my birthday, I'd like to donate a seat in the Calligraphy Class on 11/12. Like [a contest] for a student to honor a teacher or a grandchild to honor their grandmother or a daughter to honor her mother or something to do with veterans."

My mom is a teacher who is caring for her elderly mother (my grandmother) and is my mother, and her father was a veteran, so they all relate to who my mother is. I get it, Mom. You want me to honor you. So for those of you who want to attend our event on November 12th but maybe don't have the resources, Marms' gotchu. 

Tell us your appreciation story below and my mom will choose the lucky person to perfect their calligraphy skills alongside her daughter (me, Catherine Lowe). Since we know that not everyone is in the DFW area, we will choose one second-place winner who will receive five cards of their choice. How's that for a giveaway?

Also, just an idea, but if you win and don't want to attend alone, you could split the cost of another seat with that BFF of yours so you're both winners. The two winners for this giveaway will be announced October 26th, which is a week from today - so get to sharing! And GO MARMS / IT'S YA BIRTHDAY :)

Disclaimer: She had another idea that involved making a mad lib out of LoweCo.'s sayings, but it got a little lost in translation, so we went with this option.

LoweCo. is now more than just cards, but still just as square. Prints are the new thing now and we want you to take a gander.

As of October 3rd, we added a new product to our repertoire: PRINTS. Yup, that's right, a more permanent fixture in your home, office, home office and beyond. Each print is 8x8", blind-embossed with a gold detail. If we could spell prints another way, it'd be C-H-I-C.

Not only is this a new product but we also offer a new saying. You've seen ISN'T SHE LOVELY and YOU'RE THE VEST / I SHOES YOU but our sure-to-win Most Popular is HAPPY HAPPY. Our prints come naked for $19 or with a white frame for $37.

For your viewing pleasure, there isn't glass obscuring the prints' sayings, but it does still come with the white frame--just behind the piece. We love how you don't need 3-D glasses to see our 3-D pieces so we wanted to show off our best assets.

They make great gifts for (really) loved ones or for your lovely self. Considering the gifting season is coming up quick (and there are limited quantities of our pieces), you should snag up one right now. But remember, two is better than one and three is way better than one. (Is that a saying? It should be.)

Our new 8x8" LOVELY print is quite lovely.

Our LOVELY print in a white frame may be even lovelier...

Places to hang and/or stand up your new LoweCo. print:

- Living Room Gallery Wall

- Guest Bedroom Accent Table

- Bedroom Closet Wall

- Above the Crib in the Nursery

- Office Desk

- In place of your TV

- Guest Bathroom Wall

Show us where you place your LoweCo. print with #loweco on all your social media or tell us below where you plan to showcase it. :)

Cynthia Mejia-Giudici, Catherine Lowe's LOVELY mom

Isn't she?

Our LOVELY card is also quite LOVELY (just not as much as Marms)

It appears Molly is in a car. It also appears she cares about her safety and her eyebrows.

Molly Tarlov is a fan of LoweCo. but before she was a fan of us, we were a fan of hers. Well, more specifically, Catherine Giudici was a fan of hers. We use her maiden name to show just how long she's been aware of this talented, sassy lady of MTV's Awkward. In the teen comedy series, Molly plays Sadie Saxton, the mean, popular girl of Palos Hills High School who is known for her wit, especially when it comes to caustic barbs that are usually followed by a sarcastic "You're welcome."

"...tush is such a fun word to say. Tush."

There is no shortage of wit when it comes to Sadie, Molly and LoweCo. That's why we were excited to hear which of our cards was Molly's favorite and why.

Molly's favorite card:

YOUR TUSH / IS THE ONLY ONE / I WANNA SQUISH

"TUSH is my fave saying because it's exactly how I feel about my favorite tush! I only have eyes for one tush and now the human attached to the tush can see it written in white and white! Plus, tush is such a fun word to say. Tush."

This card is flirty to the max. Molly is obvi in love and getting married to her dream human and still wants to be flirty with him. (You should always be flirty with your "other", people.) Just like Molly, I only have eyes for one tush and that's why this saying was even created. So for all the people out there that love spreading a little tush love (ewww that came out wrong) this card is for you. So...poco or macho?

And yes, Molly, I'll be your best friend :)

We got cards. And now, we have three more. Last week, we released three new sayings to add to our chic, playful list of greeting cards. This week, we're gonna tell you all about them.

Our WOOHOO poco card ($5).

WOOHOO

This one is for celebrating good times, come on! Pretty straightforward, WOOHOO lets the giver show someone that they're there to pop a cork or dance to the music of their success. A bottle of Veuve Clicquot is the perfect accoutrement to this party time piece of paper.

Our BOOHOO poco card ($5).

BOOHOO

Sad happens. Sometimes your friend needs a pick-me-up so grab her favorite comfort treat and jot "I love you, this too shall pass." on the inside of a BOOHOO poco or give her some more words of wisdom or some inside jokes to make her laugh on our larger macho card.

Our BYOU poco card ($5).

MY FAVORITE COLOR IS BYOU

An obvious play on words - puns are our favorite - this card is all about sharing your love with someone. Be it a confidante, your main squeeze or even your dog (you'd have to make sure a treat was given alongside), MY FAVORITE COLOR IS BYOU goes for all types of relationships. Orange you glad you know where to get this card now?

Side note: Owner Catherine Lowe was at a book signing for her husband's book and a guest there asked Catherine what to write to her husband on an anniversary card. On the spot, she said "MY FAVORITE COLOR IS BYOU" with a giggle and decided that saying was good enough for her to keep for herself down the road. And voila, here we are!

Just like all of our cards, these new guys are available in poco ($5), macho ($8) and gift sets ($150). Each card also comes with a glama envelope for maximum chicness. Some also may be incorporated into packs, so keep an eye out for that new addition soon.

Join our email list to get the exclusive first look of our new products, enter our giveaways and more.

I'm partial to all of the cards' sentiments--it's like having a favorite child--so I love to ask people which is their favorite. Every so often, I'll tell you who likes which and why. We'll start this feature called "They Lowe Us" with former star of The Bachelorette, Kaitlyn Bristowe.

Sassy and sweet Kaitlyn Bristowe with our sassy and sweet AGAIN/ANNIV macho card.

Kaitlyn is one of the realest, most unapologetic personalities The Bachelor franchise has ever had and for this, I wanted to know her thoughts on Lowe Co. I trust her judgment not only because she's funny and fearless, but because she fell in love with a tall, dirty blonde guy named Shawn. The girl's got good taste.

Our AGAIN/ANNIV 5x5" flat macho card.

Our AGAIN/ANNIV 3x3" folded poco card.

Kaitlyn's favorite card:

LET'S DO THIS AGAIN NEXT YEAR / HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

"I love it because it's FRIGGEN adorable and I love the confidence in it. It's so cute."

Some of the sayings I create make me giggle aloud when I finally hone them. This one made me laugh. It has a dry wit about it and just like Kaitlyn described: it's confident. It works for men and women, guys and girls because it's so bold and isn't fussy. Anyone who has the endurance to last more than a year with someone or something has the maturity and sense of humor to enjoy this card. I could see a husband covering the jewelry box he'll gift his wife with it, or a cool girlfriend sticking it on her boyfriend's car dashboard before he picks her up for the obvious Date Night.

If you're three months deep into something, stick it out so you can surprise someone with this card. Yes, it's that important. Blame Kaitlyn if the next nine months are hell.

Gifts are an expression of your affinity for the receiver. That relationship could be romantic, platonic, friendly, cordial but gifts are meant to make people smile and feel appreciated. And OUR gift sets really make people feel special.

Each of our somewhat customizable gift sets come with 10 pocos cards/envelopes, 10 machos cards/envelopes and a chic acrylic box to house them. This box is a custom square shape created to hold our cards and anything worth keeping safe. That means when you run out of the cards, you can place your nice keepsakes for display since it's acrylic. Or you can just get more cards to replace them.

Now, what we mean by "somewhat customizable" is that you can pick which cards go in your gift set. THANKS, YOU is always a great option because you always need a good thank you card. Or maybe you're someone who is doling out YOUR TUSH IS THE ONLY ONE I WANNA SQUISH like they're free pamphlets on the street. Whatever floats your boat. We won't judge, because you obviously have good taste since you're on our site.

Who we think deserves a gift set from you:

Hostess Gift  • Graduation Gift • Thank You Gift • Gift for your Boss • Birthday Gift • Gift for your Mom • Gift for your Sister • Wedding Gift • Surprise Gift • Gift for You

Yep, lots of things happen year-round so you should just have one ready at any time. Aka order a gift set today!

So, happy shopping! Tag us on IG @lowe_co and on Twitter @loweco_ or with #loweco when you get them to show us how you use them. We love to see where our babies ended up :)

Houston, you were good to us. Despite the traffic in, the road trip was flawless. And the event?! Goodness gracious, talent was IN THE HOUSE. Owner and calligraphy extraordinaire Dionne Christiansen led twenty-five women to design envelopes in a fun way (and taught how to butter up the postal workers to let you ship them fancy thangs) while being fed sweet treats and equally sweet drinks. 

Each participant received a personalized acrylic clipboard and drinking glass, a package of vintage stamps for practice postage, envelopes of varying sizes, calligraphy pens, and four macho cards from LoweCo.

Nib and Pixel gave insight into the design priorities of creating a mail experience and making the aesthetic very "you". Dionne encouraged participants to explore different ways to relay the emotion to the recipient of these fabulous envelopes being crafted.

Hosted in Post Studio Projects in downtown Houston, the location was perfectly intimate and had inspiring character. For more workshops and events, keep following LoweCo.'s social media and this very blog.

Big ups to the hosts and helpers of this event!

It's graduation season and those grads need some gifts! Whether they're at the top of their class or they barely graduated, reward them for the last 12 to 20 years they had to sit through classes and group assignments and midnight study breaks. They all deserve a little something for surviving that teacher who put them through hell and it shouldn't just be in the form of a lesson to handle their upcoming professors or bosses. Let's just give them the last nice thing they'll own in a while. Here are our picks for what they'll want and need in the coming reality-check months:

1 Nordstrom Gift Card Whether the grad is a young man, woman or they're stylish or not, Nordstrom always has it all. They'll be interviewing for jobs, wanting to feel more grown-up or trying to outfit their new apartments (or parent's house) so a gift card is ideal for that kind of range. They could pick up some staples, business go-tos and a throw blanket all from your super awesome gift.

2 The Container Store Gift Card Your grad is going to need some serious organizing, that's for sure. Even if their new place is a loft, they'll have areas for an office (table doubling as a desk), bed (crash pad doubling as a sofa) and bathroom (sink doubling as a shower). Storage will be tricky and The Container has so many solutions for that and more.

3 Paper, Paper, Money, Money Old school, classic, never-a-disappointment gifting.

4 LoweCo.'s CONGRADS Cards A perfect accent to any of these gift ideas, our machos and pocos will also shine on their own. Our flat (and heavy stock) 5x5 machos would sit wonderfully atop an Apple iPad or Mophie box or some cash would make a statement through our glama (semi-translucent) envelopes. The folded 3x3 pocos could make a portfolio bag pop even more and continue the chic nature of that type of gift. All you have to do is give them a little unsolicited advice, sign your name and voila! They'll forget the debt they're probably swimming in and the internship they're waiting to hear back from. Yes, our cards are that magical.

LoweCo.'s CONGRADS flat 5x5 macho card.

5 Apple iPad Mini 4 This sleek little device is for the grad who loves to get noticed, even if it happens to be while working. They'll probably just be taking killer pics of their new pad, new job or their new view from a coffee shop, but it'll all be in style. You love them and they'll feel that with this versatile graduation present.

6 Mophie Juice Pack Ultra for iPhone 6s/6 in Gloss White Another gadget that stuns. This easy attachment to their unnatural extremity will make it even more attached to their hand. It provides 150% extra battery life and even though they'd probably rather get stabbed than drop or break their phone, if a freak accident (or gravity) happens, this case has a hard exterior shell that refuses to quit.

7 Amazon Fire TV Stick These days, we know people are opting for streaming instead of cable for their TV needs. Since your grad will make wifi a priority, solve the problem of having them choose between food and cable. Between job interviews, during a college gap year or just to destress for the summer before reality sets in, all graduates deserve some down time with a little (or a lot) of binge watching.

8 Paul Smith Leather Portfolio Bag in Red For the most stylish of male ex-students heading into the world of professionalism, this bag will be a conversation starter in interviews and meetings alike. This gift is for a guy who really took the investment into their studies seriously and give them a reason to take their next chapter in the same manner.

9 Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM Tote in Damier Azur Canvas Capacious but not bulky, structured yet supple, this designer bag is for the grad on the Dean's List or a valedictorian headed for a CEO spot. It's practical and chic for any meeting and to get to and fro their apartment to the office. She can stash her laptop, wallet and even her work heels in this spacious tote. You obviously love this lady so remind her by hiding a LoweCo. poco in one of the pockets so she finds it when she's packing it for her first day in the real world!

Happy Giving!
