Is a letter a good gift?

It works best when the point of the gift is the relationship rather than the object - a milestone birthday, an anniversary, an apology, someone far away, or a person who already owns everything. A letter is the one common gift that cannot have been given to anyone else, because it is made entirely of specifics only the sender has, and it is the kind of thing people keep for years in a drawer. It is a poor choice if the person has asked for something specific, or if you barely know them.

What does LetterByPost sell?

Real physical letters, sent as a personal gift. You write your message online and LetterByPost either prints it or has a person write it out by hand on 100gsm premium cream paper, seals it in an envelope and posts it to any address in India. Optional extras include a hand-pressed wax seal, a pressed flower, scented paper, up to ten printed photographs, and delivery scheduled for a future date.

You write your letter online, choose printed or handwritten, add optional extras like wax seals or scented paper, and pay securely. We print or hand-write it, package it, and deliver it anywhere in India in 3-7 business days.

To my partner

Another year, and I'd choose you again without a second's thought. Thank you for the ordinary days that turned out to be the best ones. Here's to us - to where we've been and everywhere we're still going.

Years in

People talk about love like it's fireworks. Ours is steadier than that - a warm light I come home to. Thank you for being my home. Happy anniversary, my love.

From afar

We can't be in the same place to celebrate this year, but my heart is exactly where it's always been: with you. Counting down to the day I can hold you again. Happy anniversary.
