I love getting mail. It seriously makes every day feel like Christmas. As a blogger, I get mail all the time. It’s a great perk of the gig. My absolute favorite thing to receive is a handwritten note on cute stationery. I’m all about technology, but I love the fact that someone took some time out of their day to write me something. They could have been quick and neat and typed it out on a computer, but they decided to do it the old fashioned way. I’m sad to think that stationery and handwritten notes might someday soon be a thing of the past. I figure I can’t be the only one who has a penchant for stationery and fun notecards. It made me want to do something fun for readers of my blog!
I hope this doesn’t sound weird, but I want to send you a letter! If you love getting mail I would love to send you a piece of stationery in the mail with a little note from me to you. I thought it would be a fun way to connect to the people who read the digital letters I write daily here.
It’s a little ridiculous how excited I am for this. I have no idea how many letters I’m going to end up sending, but if you ask for one I promise to send you one. And if you know someone who would appreciate a letter send them my way and I’ll send them one, too!
Questions of the Day: Are you a fan of handwritten letters? Where is your favorite place to buy stationery?
Such a cool idea!! In this day and age, whenever I get a genuine letter or invitation in the mail, it’s like my birthday on my excitement level.
Love this idea Erin! Hope you’re stocked up on stamps 😉
Such a cute idea! When I first started the blog I offered to send homemade Valentines out to anyone who wanted one (as a single girl I was dying for an excuse to make up some Valentines!) I ended up sending 40 out all over the US. So much fun!
This makes me think of a cartoon I saw on Pinterest. Top cartoon was 1990s, a guy was holding a bit of snail mail and sighing “ugh, mail” but when the “you’ve got mail” pinged on his computer, he was pumped. Bottom cartoon was 2015 and the computer pings “you have 10 new emails” and the guy goes “ugh, email,” but holds one actual snail mail letter and goes “YAY! I’VE GOT A LETTER!” How true is that?! LoL!
Such a lovely idea- just dropped in my address! 🙂
