A hand-drawn cassette labeled BIRTHDAY MIX in red and seafoam, sitting above two words that do all the work: "You're a classic." Anyone who ever recorded songs off the radio will hold this card for a second longer than they hold the rest of them. It is nostalgia used precisely, not sprayed around.

Letterpress printed one color at a time on a Heidelberg press in Smudge Ink's Acton, Massachusetts studio, so the type is genuinely pressed into the sheet and you can feel it under your thumb. FSC-certified cover stock made from 100% post-consumer waste, A2 size at 4.25" x 5.5", blank inside, paired with a bright orange envelope. Real letterpress at five and a half dollars is a small miracle.
