Our Mission

Create Meaningful Connections

We live in a world where negativity and disconnection are common. Bethany, the heart behind Passing Notes, believes in the power of seeing, knowing, and loving the people around us and the impact it can have:

  • Seeing | Truly acknowledging someone’s presence and beauty.
  • Knowing | Honoring their story and showing them they are heard and understood.
  • Loving | Demonstrating that they matter, regardless of your relationship.

Whether they’re a friend, foe, or stranger, everyone deserves to feel valued.

Designed for your Every Day Moments

Think of the sweetest note or gift you’ve ever received. It was likely unexpected, which made it even more special.

At Passing Notes, our products are designed for your everyday moments—when someone needs a reminder of how valued they are, a simple smile, or reassurance that you’re there for them.

We offer various themes to meet life’s diverse moments and emotions. Our goal is to help you make encouragement a part of your daily routine.

The Power of Personal Touch

Handwritten notes offer something unique and genuine. Here's what we're seeing:

  • Genuine Connection: Handwritten notes are personal, replacing generic sentiments with intentional words.
  • Memorable Impact: People often keep and display our notes, cards, and stickers because they are meaningful and beautifully crafted.
  • Flexible Gifting: Notes can be given in ways that suit you—anonymously, with a gift, or even left on a desk. You can share them comfortably, without the awkwardness.
