Gratuity Paper Co. is more than a stationery store.
Yes, we do sell stationery, journals, planners, greeting cards
and a wide variety of paper goods, desk accessories and gifts. 
However, our goal is to do far more than that.
We exist with the purpose of breeding a community of 
intentional individuals that love fiercely.

Sounds pretty but what does that look like exactly?
Well, there are endless possibilities but it could look something like this - 

It's a working mother of three planning out her day in order
to protect her time with her family.
*
It's a father surprising his daughter with a new journal
for no other reason then to let her know he noticed she enjoys writing.
*
It's buying your co-worker a card of encouragement because
you overheard he lost a loved one.

They are simple acts. Simple, but profound. 
And you know what they have in common? 
They are acts that acknowledge the value and worth of others.
We live in a society feverishly overwhelmed with distractions 
and a tendency to ignore the fact that we are made up of individuals.
Individuals that require interaction and acknowledgement. 
We all want to know we are loved... that we are seen.
That is why we exist.
To equip you with the ability to move from consumer to contributor.
To look up, look around and engage
with purpose & passion. 
​Not to mention, cards are far prettier than texts. :)

owner, designer, photographer, paper lover
and our joyful curator carri martinez.
she is a mediocre wife, surviving mother of four & dependably sarcastic.
​no, she does not speak spanish.
​she just married a good-looking puerto rican.
carri prides herself on having a fairly decent
sense of humor and an eclectic taste in music.
come in and get to know her. she's typically the only one here.
