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.

He'll keep it

Dads keep things. Your letter will end up in his desk drawer, read more often than you'd guess.

Delivered home

Surprise him wherever he is in India - we print, seal and deliver it to his door.

Add a memory

Include a printed photo from a moment you shared - it'll mean more than any gadget.

To your father

Papa, I get it now - all the things you did without ever making them sound like sacrifices. Every time I stand up for myself, that's you. Thank you for being my quiet strength. I love you, even if we never say it out loud.

A proud-of-you note

Dad, somewhere between your advice I rolled my eyes at and the example you set without trying, I became someone I'm proud of. That's all you. Happy Father's Day. You did good.

Like you

Papa, I catch myself doing the small things you do - checking the locks twice, reaching for everyone's bill, going quiet when I'm proud. I used to resist becoming you. Now it's the highest compliment I know.
