In our email age, old-fashioned written correspondence is a refreshing throwback, like drinking a soda made with real sugar or watching the president hand someone a sword. Write a thank-you note to the past with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of cards, stationery, and more at Kate's Paperie in SoHo, between Crosby and Lafayette. Kate's Paperie pens an ode to scribing with an impressive array of nonelectronic, 21st-century letter-drafting paraphernalia. Kate's vast list of ink-inciting regalia includes greeting cards, stationery, journals, writing utensils, and more. Adorable Valentine's Day cards (starting at $5.95 each) present their blank innards for artfully crafted, handwritten verses about the perfection of your one true love or the perfection of your one true love's meatloaf. Soften up your prose with a pack of fuzzy-wuzzy pencils ($10), or compose Office STEM memos on an authoritative set of robot space-cadet stationery ($22.95).
