Papier's bestselling Advent calendar is back, plus a new 2026 calendar less than $100. September 03, 2026, 8:44 AM Papier's Advent calendar is back! Over the years, Papier's Advent calendar has dropped ahead of the holiday season, and excited shoppers sell it out quickly. The 24 Day Advent Calendar is the gift that keeps giving - it's filled with products each wrapped in a paper box and placed inside a reusable box with a top lid and drawers. If you're obsessed with handwritten letters, notes and journals, you'll love what's inside: pens, highlighters, notebooks, a recipe journal, a gratitude journal, a bookmark, playing cards, note cards, envelopes, stickers and so much more. Keep it on your desk and use throughout the holiday season to send messages to loved ones, wrap gifts or keep your own personal notes. A new launch. This year, Papier has launched a second calendar, its first-ever 12 Day Advent Calendar. The calendar is designed as a sweet cottage, with a roof and front doors that open to shelves stocked with surprises "curated for people who really love stationery," according to the brand's website. Because of its design, we imagine it being reused for stationary or even as a keepsake box for family mementos. The 12-day calendar is filled with a pen pouch, sticker set, thank you cards, notebooks and a mini gratitude journal, among other discoveries. Plus, it's priced at less than $100 for those looking for a thoughtful gift on a specific budget.

Independent wedding directories name Inkifi the top Wedding Photo album brand in the UK. Altrincham, United Kingdom, Aug. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Inkifi, the UK-based premium photo printing brand, has been named the top wedding photo album brand in the UK by two independent wedding directories, earning recognition for its sustainable production and premium layflat album designs ahead of the peak summer wedding season. Rock n Roll Bride selected Inkifi as the outright top pick for UK couples in its 2026 guide, "The Best Wedding Photo Albums in the UK." Separately, Tie The Knot Wedding Directory named Inkifi the top pick for materials and eco-conscious production in its "Best UK Wedding Photo Books" roundup. In both assessments, Inkifi was ranked ahead of established names including CEWE, Rosemood, Papier, and Artifact Uprising. "We built Inkifi because we believe photos have the power to help people celebrate the moments and people that matter most," said Paul Mosley, Founder of Inkifi. "Our aim is to make it effortless to turn those photos into something truly beautiful, using exceptional products designed to last. Our layflat wedding albums are made here in the UK using archival-quality materials, with pages that open completely flat and colours that remain true for decades. They're the kind of keepsake that feels special from the moment you open it and will continue to for generations". Layflat Binding and Archival Materials The layflat construction central to both directory rankings allows pages to open completely flat, displaying full-spread photographs without a central crease - a feature particularly suited to panoramic group shots and wide venue images common in wedding photography. The Luxury Linen Wedding Album is printed on Fuji Professional Lustre Photo Paper using FSC-certified stock and eco-friendly inks, qualities both directories specifically cited in their assessments. UK Production and Sustainability All Inkifi wedding albums are manufactured in the UK, reducing the long-distance international fulfilment that characterises several competitors named in the same roundups. Each order also results in a tree being planted, a reforestation commitment that runs across the company's full product range. Premium Features, Accessible Creation The Luxury Linen Wedding Album features a natural linen cover with a personalised foil-stamped title, available in 8x8, 8x10, and 10x10 sizes with up to 68 pages. Inkifi's web builder, Smartbook technology, and mobile app allow couples to assemble their own albums directly, rather than relying on a professional album design service. For couples needing a faster product, Inkifi also offers a genuine next-day photo book when ordered by 12pm Monday to Thursday, dispatched via DPD - a production-and-delivery commitment rather than simply expedited shipping on a standard timeline. Founded in 2012, Inkifi has printed more than 15 million photos and holds a 4.6-star rating on Trustpilot based on over 1,700 customer reviews. About Inkifi Founded in 2012 by Jim Parker and Paul Mosley, Inkifi is a UK-based premium photo printing brand specialising in photo books, layflat wedding albums, framed prints, and personalised gifts. The company combines design-led aesthetics with sustainable, UK-based production using archival-quality materials, FSC-certified papers, and eco-conscious processes. Every order plants a tree.
