Why send a letter

Her native format

For her generation, letters ARE love. You're not being quaint - you're speaking her language fluently.

No screen required

No apps, no tiny buttons, no 'beta, it's not opening'. Paper works at every age.

It becomes a treasure

It will live between the pages of her holy book or in the trunk with her silks - the highest shelf of her heart.

To dadi
Dadi, I'm still convinced your kitchen ran on magic and your stories on an endless spool. Happy birthday to the softest hands and the strongest woman I know. Save me some of the good achaar.
To nani
Nani, summers at your house are still my definition of happiness. Happy birthday - I'm sending this by post because I know you'll like the envelope almost as much as the letter.
From a grandchild abroad
They have everything in this country except your ginger chai and your blessings at the door. Happy birthday, dadi. Keep the stories ready - I'm coming to collect them soon.

Questions, answered

More answers on the FAQ page.

Can a birthday letter for my grandmother be written in Hindi?

Yes - we write in English, Hindi or Hinglish. For a dadi or nani, the language she thinks and prays in is almost always the one to choose.

Can you print it in large, easy-to-read text?

Our printed letters use generous, clear typesetting that older eyes find comfortable, and printed is 499 against 699 for handwritten. Mention any preference when you order and we will take care of it.

What to write in a birthday letter to my grandmother?

Bring back the details she will recognise - her kitchen, a story she repeated, the way her house smelled in summer. Grandmothers want to hear that the things they gave you were noticed and kept.

How do I send a handwritten birthday letter to my dadi or nani by post in India?

Write it online, choose handwritten or printed, and we post it to her address anywhere in India. Pick a delivery date and we time the dispatch to land on her birthday.

Birthday gift ideas for a grandmother who has everything she needs?

At her age most gifts are things to store. A letter needs no space, no charging and no explanation, and for a generation raised on post it is the most familiar form of affection there is.

What should an NRI grandchild send their grandmother for her birthday?

You can order from anywhere in the world and we produce and post the letter within India, so it arrives on time rather than weeks late. Enclosing photos of your life abroad gives her something to show visitors for months.

Can I send photos of the great-grandchildren with the letter?

Yes - up to 10 printed photos, square 3x3 inches or 2.3x3.5 inches. Printed photos are far more useful to her than anything sent to a phone.

Should a grandmother’s letter be handwritten or printed?

Handwritten at 699 is the keepsake, and her generation reads handwriting as the real thing. Choose printed at 499 if her eyesight makes clear type the kinder option.
