Gifting Questions
-
Yes — that's exactly what the gift announcements are for. Order the story, download the card for it, and print or email it the same day. Their first letter is mailed on whatever date you choose at checkout.
-
Theirs. The letters are mailed directly to the recipient, so the shipping address should be the address where they get their mail. Your email stays on the order for receipts and updates — they won't see any pricing.
-
Yes. You pick the first mailing date during checkout, so you can line it up with a birthday, an anniversary, or the week after the holidays. We can tell you the day it leaves us — we can't promise the day their mail carrier brings it.
-
Two mailings a month for twelve months — 24 in all. Each mailing is one envelope holding that piece of the pen-pal story plus whatever it comes with: a fashion plate, a fabric swatch, or a postcard.
-
No. A prepaid gift is paid in full up front and simply runs its twelve months — no renewal, no card on file for them, nothing for them to manage.
-
Reach out and we'll switch it before the first mailing goes out. And if it isn't right for them at all, there's a 30-day money-back guarantee.
-
Yes — place a separate order for each recipient so each one gets their own mailing address and start date. Plenty of gifters do a round of them at once for the holidays.
Give them something to look forward to.
Twice a month, all year long.
