This Valentine’s Day, the Papier team have been marking the occasion with notecards - small but thoughtful reminders of appreciation for one another. A few kind words and a moment to recognise the everyday things that make working together special. Paper > digital, always 💞

What if you introduced yourself not as who you are, but as who you want to become? That’s the idea behind Future Self Nights with Kira Matthews. The second event in our Just Start series was all about taking those first steps - writing things into existence, saying them out loud, and meeting people who make ideas feel possible. And this workshop showed just how powerful that can be. A big thank you to our host, Kira, and everyone who came along - it was a special one. ⭐

February’s here, but before we dive into the new month, here’s a quick look back at what we got up to in December and January at Papier ✨

As part of our Just Start campaign, we’re bringing our message to the community through four events, each designed to inspire people to take that step and Just Start. The first event in the series was a creative vision-setting workshop with Rollo Skinner hosted at our London HQ. In a relaxed session with 20 guests, they explored childhood curiosities through free writing exercises and created illustrated vision boards to map out the things they want to bring into their lives moving forward.

Capturing the heart of our new campaign, this note reminds us that beginnings don’t need to be perfect – they just need to begin. What’s the first step you’ve been waiting to take? Inspiring words penned by Papier’s very own Gabriela Fowler ✍ ✨    

Just Start: There’s No Better Time Than Now We’ve all been there - dreaming about new passions, career moves, or bigger goals. But how many times have we put them off, waiting for the “perfect” moment? Our latest campaign is a reminder that time keeps moving, and there’s no better moment than right now to take action. Whether it’s pursuing a creative passion, advancing your career, or chasing that bigger dream, it’s time to start. Just Start. It’s all about breaking through hesitation and stepping forward with purpose. 🎨 Creative & words: Molly Park, Lucía Aranguren, Paige Lidbury, Jennie Watson, Chloe Hernández, Morgane Bigault ✨ Brand: Holly Chapman, Matilda Kirwin

As we ready ourselves for a fresh chapter, we’re filled with gratitude for the year that’s been and excitement for what’s ahead. Here are a few milestones from 2024 that we’re proud to share: 📖 Over 1 million diaries sold - a dream that felt distant when we launched 9 years ago. 📦 We’ve sent an incredible 700,000 orders to customers across the world. 🎨 We’ve designed over 2,000 products this year for Papier.com and our retail partners. 🌸 Our Italian Summer design became a fan favourite, with nearly 44,000 sold. 🛍️ We celebrated a record-breaking Cyber Monday! 🎄 We sold out of our advent calendar for the second year in a row - thank you for loving it as much as we do! 🤝 Welcomed 377 new independent partners, and you can now find Papier in 3,657 stores across the US, Europe and Canada. 💬 We launched our Instagram broadcast channel & built a community of over 1.4k paper people. 👋 Added 26 brilliant new faces to the Papier team, growing our family of paper people. 💡Our Paps gave back with 53 volunteering days, supporting causes close to our heart. 🧩 And perhaps our proudest achievement of all: we completed 151 lunchtime crosswords!
