The Best Birthday Surprise Fits in an Envelope

No - nothing is sent to the recipient before the letter physically arrives. The envelope is elegant and unbranded on the front, so the surprise holds until they open it.

Write it whenever inspiration strikes and pick your date - that is the day we POST it, and the likely arrival window is shown beside it. If you are ordering without a scheduled date, allow 5-6 days.

A posted letter is one of the few surprises with nothing to hide and nothing to leak - no parcel in the cupboard, no friends who have to keep quiet. The reveal happens at the door on the morning itself.

Lead with the surprise itself - the fact that you planned something weeks ahead is half the gift, so say so. Then use the rest for the things you have been meaning to say and never found the right moment for.

Yes - sign it however you like, or write the whole letter so the last line is the reveal. Plenty of people build the identity into the letter rather than the envelope.

Yes - offices, homes, flats, PGs and hostels across India. A sealed personal letter arriving at a desk mid-week is a birthday moment most people have never had.

A wax seal at 100 does most of it, and a real pressed flower can be set into the wax at no extra charge. Twine or ribbon is 50 and rose-scented paper is 50.

Yes - up to 10 printed photos, square 3x3 inches or 2.3x3.5 inches. A photo falling out as they unfold the letter is a good second surprise.
