Stationery

Inventory icon for stationery in Animal Crossing: City Folk.

Stationery are items that can be used to write letters.

In games prior to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, most stationery can be purchased from Tom Nook's store or Timmy and Tommy's store in packs of four. Upon receiving a letter, the stationery it is written on is added to the player's catalog. Some stationery cannot be obtained by the player and can only be added to the catalog when receiving letters from special senders.

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, stationery is replaced with cards, which are chosen in the airport when sending a letter. Cards function the same as stationery but do not go into the player's pockets and thus are not items.
