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?

To someone unwell

Just a little note to say the world's on pause until you're back to your nuisance-self. Rest as much as you need and don't you dare rush it. I'm thinking of you constantly. Get well soon - there's a long list of plans waiting for you.

Warm & sincere

I wish I could take some of this off your shoulders. Since I can't, here's my love by post instead - read it on the rough days. You are stronger than this, and you are not alone in it. One day at a time. I'm right here.

Cheering you on

Healing isn't a straight line, so be gentle with yourself on the slow days. I'm in your corner for all of it. Rest up - the world will keep until you're ready. Sending you every bit of my strength.
