Gifts and Decorative Accessories features Galison and Mudpuppy Stationery in their May 2008 issue.

“Write To Receive"
"With all the computerization and Web activity of kids from the time they are in preschool, it is an important objective to help kids appreciate the meaning of hand-written messages and letters," comments Maureen Gallagher, sales manager for Galison/Mudpuppy Press, New York. Here, too, parents - and grandparents-are instrumental in the process. "I think it is a huge plus, when kids actually get mail," observes Myer. "If they write a card or letter to Gramma, and Gramma writes back, it gives them frame of reference [of the connection between writing, sending and receiving mail]. Galison concurs, "Grandparents send letters and kids love it." She has overheard her own kids remark, "It's so nice to get a letter. And seeing that someone has taken the time to write to them, inspires them to write back. “
