Happy Friday, my friend.
I’m popping by to remind you about something so simple that you won’t even think of it as a gift. (But it is!)
Snail Mail!
Remember that?! It is when you send cards or letters through the postal service and it gets delivered to someone’s mailbox at their house! 😝
Sending mail is a gift. It really is.
Think about the last time you opened your mailbox and you saw a friend’s handwriting on an envelope.
Remember how your heart lurched a little with joy?
You can give this same gift of happiness!
And you can make it simple for yourself to do.
💥💓💥
Here are a few tips for how to make Snail Mail Love fast and easy:
- Stock up on cards: Keep a special box handy. It should be easy to reach and filled with cards you like for all occasions. Any time you are at a store and see a card that you think is funny, sweet, touching, or beautiful, buy it and put it in your box. Note: this includes postcards from art exhibits or places you travel.
- Stock up on stamps: Next time you go to the post office, buy a couple sheets of LOVE stamps or any stamps you like. Make sure you buy at least a few international stamps and postcard stamps, too.
- Buy a colorful pen you love: It’s much more fun to write a note with a delightful and smooth-writing pen. Keep this with your stock of cards and stamps!
- Get some stickers: Having some decorative stickers with your stash is a way to make the process even more fun!
- Let Yourself Cheat! Get the Postagram app by Sincerely and all you have to do is select a photo on your phone, write a tiny note, add your friend’s addy — and off it goes! Your loved one receives an actual photo postcard in their mailbox! If you use that link I supplied, you and I will each receive a free Postagram postcard to mail to a loved one. Yay!
Once you have your stash of Snail Mail supplies, it is oh-so-simple to send a card or note when someone you love drops into your mind.
You also will have special occasion cards ready when there is an illness, death, engagement, or baby announcement.
