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.

❤️ Valentine's Day

Say it the way they'll never forget

A text disappears. Flowers wilt. A letter - in your own words, on beautiful paper - is the kind of romantic they'll keep in a drawer and read for years.

Romance they can hold

Add a wax seal and scented paper for a letter that feels like a held breath.

Re-read on hard days

Long after Valentine's, your words wait in a drawer for the day they need them most.

Slip in a printed photo of the two of you - a moment that says what words can't.

To my love

From the very first day, you've felt like home. I don't say it enough, so I'm writing it where it can't be deleted: I love you - more steadily, more certainly, than anything I know. Happy Valentine's Day.

Long distance

The miles are the hardest part of loving you, but every single one is worth it. Until I can hold you again, let this letter do it for me. You have all of my heart, wherever I am.

Quietly, deeply

I'm not good with grand gestures, so here's the plain truth: my life got better the day you walked into it. Thank you for being mine. Forever yours, this Valentine's and every one after.
