cool idea: cards for the "mommy executive"

Margot Madison Creative Stationery, a lovely little store in the O’Bryonville neighborhood of Cincinnati, has a product called Mommy Executive that I really like, even though I’m not a mom. It’s a simple idea, but nice: beautifully printed, personalized stationery so moms can have the “official letterhead they deserve.” Store proprietor Margot Madison herself is a mom, so I’m thinking she knows what she’s talking about. For $42.50, moms can get a set of 25 personalized cards printed on heavy cardstock in their choice of designs and colors, “perfect for jotting down your number for playground playdates or teacher notes.” (I have a feeling non-moms might like them, too — just a hunch.) If those aren’t for you, Margot Madison offers an array of customized special event cards, wedding invitations and birth announcements — including an Etsy store filled with customizable holiday card ideas. –Mary T.
