This is a sticky note holder! This is perfect for setting on a desk or note station. These note holders make a perfect gift for secretarys week or teachers! This is designed to hold the standard 3"x3" sticky notes. This note card holder can be personalized with a name for an additional fee. If not adding a customization it will come saying "Notes" Our items are cut using a laser. When a laser cuts items it is done by burning them. When wood is burned it leaves soot and often a "burned" smell. That smell can often linger for a short amount of time, but does go a way when aired out. Handmade gifts may not always be perfect (that is what is unique about handmade). We do our very best to review each item as it leaves our facility for any flaws. Please embrace any small flaws the item might have from being handmade, and know it was made with care! If you do find a larger flaw please contact us right away (within 24 hours of receipt so we can make it right).  Jenn@heartnsol.com
