Customer Experiences
“As a long-time bullet journaler, I am incredibly picky about paper quality, but Sarah Jenkins was pleasantly surprised by the durability of the Mara-Mi multi-pack journals I picked up at Target. The 6×8 size is the perfect middle ground for sketching and note-taking, and I haven’t experienced any ink bleed-through even when using my heavy fountain pens. The ‘Italian Neroli’ canvas cover feels so much more expensive than it actually was, and the coptic binding allows the book to lay perfectly flat while I’m writing at my desk.”
“Michael Henderson purchased the 50-count floral thank you notes for my wedding reception follow-ups, and the feedback from our guests has been wonderful. The cards have a substantial weight to them that feels premium in your hand, and the blank interior gave me plenty of room to write personalized messages without feeling cramped. Finding a bulk pack that manages to stay stylish rather than looking generic is a rare find, and these hit the mark perfectly for our celebratory aesthetic.”
“After discovering the Roobee by Mara-Mi line at Walmart, Elena Rodriguez spent the entire weekend revamped her family photo album using the floral scrapbook paper pads and matching washi tape. The colors are so vibrant and the ‘luxurious’ label on the paper pad isn’t just marketing—the sheets have a beautiful finish that really makes the photos pop. I love that the designs are whimsical without being childish, allowing me to create a sophisticated look for my craft projects that I’m proud to display on my bookshelf.”
Mara-MI FAQ
Where can I buy Mara-Mi stationery products in person?
While the brand is headquartered in the charming river town of Stillwater, Minnesota, the most reliable way to find Mara-Mi products in-store is through major national retailers like Target and Walmart. Many customers find our signature bulk thank-you card sets and floral notebooks in the stationery and office supply aisles of these locations.
Are Mara-Mi thank-you cards and note cards blank inside?
Yes, the vast majority of our card sets, including the popular 50-count Black/White Floral and Rainbow Assortments, are left blank inside to allow you plenty of space for personalized messages. This makes them versatile enough for everything from wedding gratitude to professional networking notes.
What makes the Mara-Mi journals unique compared to standard notebooks?
Our journals, particularly the Italian Neroli series, feature a specialized coptic binding that allows the book to lay completely flat while you write, preventing the spine from “fighting” back. Additionally, many of our canvas-bound journals include unique sensory details, such as subtle scents or textured finishes, that elevate the daily writing experience.
Can I purchase Mara-Mi products in bulk for a business or boutique?
Mara-Mi operates as a wholesaler and distributor, making our boutique office products available for professional buyers. Retailers interested in carrying our whimsical designs can typically find our wholesale catalog through platforms like Faire or by contacting our distribution partners at Gartner Studios.
What is included in a Mara-Mi stationery desk set?
Our comprehensive desk sets are designed to be a complete correspondence solution, often including two 32-page journals, assorted folded notecards, flat notecards, and matching envelopes. These sets often feature cohesive themes, such as “Marble Chic” or “Blush Florals,” and include gold foil seals to add a polished finishing touch to your letters.
Is the paper quality suitable for fountain pens or heavy markers?
Most Mara-Mi notebooks and cards use a high-quality 100 gsm cardstock or paper weight that provides a sturdy feel. While they are excellent for ballpoint and gel pens, many users also report success with markers and fountain pens, as the paper is specifically chosen to minimize ink feathering and bleed-through.
