Communication skills are an important thing. So is education. I like to see products that encourage both things and make them fun. Happy Mail is a book that teaches you how to make written communication and expressing yourself both fun and artful. It would make a great gift for anyone, particularly tweens and teens.

Hello!Lucky is a San Francisco-based design studio founded in 2003 by sisters Eunice & Sabrina Moyle. Their playful and punny designs have reeled in numerous awards and have been spotted in retailers worldwide.
