This is basically a GoFundMe but with stationery

I made the extremely bold choice to go to NYNOW (a big fancy trade show where stationery brands go to be perceived). Now I need to come up with $4,000 to pay for it… quickly… because time is fake and booth fees are real.

So welcome to my very glamorous fundraising campaign: you get a ridiculous amount of paper goods, and I get to show up to NYNOW like a functioning business owner.

The Details

What you’re getting (besides enabling me)

  • Curated bundles of my best-selling greeting cards + goodies
  • Fast shipping (I’m packing like my life depends on it)
  • A fully stocked card stash so you’re never caught empty-handed at a birthday/engagement/breakup

Why I’m doing this

NYNOW is one of those “big swing” opportunities: buyers, wholesale accounts, future stockists, and hopefully the kind of growth that makes my mortgage less of a jump scare.

Also I already told people I’m going. So.

The Geographic Stimulus Package

Because I can’t just run a normal sale like a normal person.

When you check out, I’ll take your shipping zip code, add up the digits, and include that $ amount of bonus goodies in your package (dealer’s choice).

Example: 60614 → 6+0+6+1+4 = 17So you’d get ~$17 worth of surprise extras added to your order.

Important grown-up details:

  • Bonus applies to orders $25+ (before shipping/tax) because I am not tossing in three free cards with a single-card order. I have bills.
  • Bonus value is capped at $20 per order.
  • Bonus is one per order and based on the zip code you enter at checkout.

Tiny FAQ (because someone will ask)

  • Can I pick the exact designs? Bundles are mostly dealer’s choice so I can pack fast. If you know me DM me and I'll do my best!
  • When does this end? When I hit $4k or when the deadline (Jan 29th) hits—whichever comes first.
  • Will you show progress? Yes. I will be posting the money meter like a PBS pledge drive. Find it on Tiktok & Instagram.

I Love You

Thank you for being here

Whether you grab a bundle, share the page, or simply whisper “blessed be the cardstock” into the void—thank you. Now let’s get me to NYNOW.
