Accepted Answer

['steɪʃəneri] 
stationerypaper cut to an appropriate size for writing letters; usually with matching envelopes
If your grandmother gives you a set of stationery as a birthday present, it might be a subtle hint to write her a thank you note. Stationery is a set of writing paper that comes with envelopes.
Stationery refers to fancy paper you might use for a long-overdue thank you note, an old fashioned cover letter and resume, or even a love letter to a far away friend. Stationery is a tricky word that’s only one letter away from stationary, which means “remaining in one place.” But stationery (with an e) is what you’ll write your grandmother’s thank you note on. Won’t you?

			Make sure you're stationary,  or still, while you jot down a love letter on your fancy stationery, so the writing isn't all squiggly. 
Why do these words sound so similar? They're kissing  cousins.They  both come from the  Latin stationarius, meaning "a seller in a fixed location." Our modern stationary means still, unmovable, like bad weather that lingers or a parked car:

A disturbance in the southwestern Caribbean is  expected to remain stationary for the  next few days, the National Hurricane Center said. (Sun Sentinel)
  
    Police confirmed an incident at 6.50pm on Sunday,  October 17, when a blue Rover collided with a stationary vehicle. (Chesterfield  Post)

Stationery (with an "e")  also comes from stationarius,  but not as directly. According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, "Roving peddlers were more common in the  Middle Ages; sellers with a fixed location were often bookshops licensed by  universities," thus the connection between paper and staying still. Today, stationery is writing paper, the kind  you put resumes and wedding invitations on:

People sent me Hallmark cards, handwritten notes on  lined paper, typed letters on formal stationery, even telegrams. (Time Magazine)
  
    Ms. Staller is the owner of Rosetta Papers, which  offers a wide variety of customized invitations, stationery, holiday cards and announcements. (ad for Rosetta  Papers)

An easy  way to keep stationary and stationery straight is to connect the er in stationery to the paper it's made from.
