Looking for "best" all-around SU set
To make A2 card boxed gift sets: a few birthday, a few thank you, a few general. I'm looking to keep to a theme, which is why I'm hoping some of you have some favorite all-around SU sets. Thanks in advance!

I love Feathered Friends for a soft almost Marjoire Bastian look.
Also Nice and Easy Notes, more fun and frolicy
There is a set in the current catalog, Pun Fun or something like that too.

Lovely as a Tree is current set that is great for all cards. I also love Fantastic Foliage which is retired.

I've made sets using Trendy Trees and you can change the sentiment for various cards.
Good for male cards too.

For simple elegant cards I think "Pocket Silhouettes" is a good one..

My suggestions are Lovely as a Tree, Branch Out (retired now), Pocket Silhouettes. These are sets that can be birthday, sympathy, thank you. The key is that you can make them either masculine or feminine, the trickiest part of your request I think. HTH.

i love the teddy bear set- the name escapes me at the moment. it only has two sentiments, but it can work for a lot. i also like the sock monkey- even if you don't use the monkey, the other stamps (and accessories) are great on their own.
