Packed into a wooden cigar box, the Forgetful Gentleman Correspondence System is a set of understated, classy notecards for the dignified man. The box contains 12 letterpress cards with envelopes including birthday, thank you, congratulations, love and blank to cover a full year’s worth of sending situations. There is even a booklet included to help you properly word your sentiment.
Forgetful Gentleman also offers a less expensive linen correspondence set packed into a paperboard cigar box and filled with 12 offset cards and the writing guide.
Because, yes, even men need to send cards. $75 for the letterpress set, $25 for the linen set.

I have just been clearing out a long unused cupboard where I once hid presents from my children, they are now in their thirties and long gone from here.
In there I found a box of ‘Forgetful Gentleman’ stationery. Still in its vacuum sealed wrapper. Whomever I bought it for never got it. It should have been £20, but I must have spotted it as a bargain at only £7 in a sale.
It is still lovely. I cannot recall when the brand finished, but it was quite a few years ago.
I am still an avid sender of brief notes to people that give good service, show kindness of just bring that little extra brightness into one’s life.
