Do you still write actual letters to your loved ones? Or is a quick, vowel and punctuation free text or email enough for you these days? So few people are actually writing to each other now, that The British Library have actually commissioned a project Digital Lives where they will study personal digital collections of emails and dig around for nuggets of literary wisdom, for which we have for centuries relied upon letters.

Personally, I really like a hard copy of a note, and still have many that friends and I passed to one another at school, but have long deleted the emails I was sent, and I love to get them out now and again and laugh at mine and my friend’s melodramatic sixteen-year-old musings.

It seems that ethical cosmetics company, B Never too Busy to be Beautiful share my passion. As part of their Christmas gift range, they have come up with ‘Sealed with a Kiss’, a beautiful handmade letter writing set, embossed with real bougainvillia petals. The paper and envelopes are also infused with B’s gorgeous rose and jasmine scent, Two Hearts Beating as One making them extra special, and perfect for writing love notes meant to be kept, or even for just giving a casual note to a friend that will make her handbag smell nice!
