One habit that I would like to reignite in 2025 is sending more snail mail. For whatever reason, I have been terrible about sending regular correspondence and I’d really like to get back into the practice. (Thank you to all of my friends and relatives who have been patient with my radio silence the past year.) With those thoughts in mind, I decided to browse etsy for pen pal supplies! Obviously, none of these things are necessary – you can write a note on the back of just about anything – but it sure is fun to look at all of the inspiration.
Be sure to check out my other Snail Mail posts for lots of greeting card recommendations too!
+ This Snail Mail Letter Writing Kit from The Paxton Press is so creative! I love the idea of passing game and recommendation cards back and forth – so fun.
+ Everybody loves a good sticker and this “Send More Snail Mail” sticker from Modern Printed Matter perfectly fits the theme.
+ Have a kid who is interested in starting their own snail mail pastime? This penpal kit for kids from CC Paper Designs has everything you need to get started: I miss you postcards, three different penpal games, a pre-filled note to help you start the conversation and even a few envelopes!
+ Stop hand-writing your address and invest in an address label from Seas the Day Labels. This shop has over two hundred options, so be sure to browse the entire store!
+ This medieval flower stationery set from Arte of the Booke is absolutely beautiful. The set comes with ten sheets of 40gsm paper with matching envelopes. Made in Italy!
+ I liked this collection of airmail-themed papergoods from Maggieful Designs. The notebook would be perfect for logging addresses or even using as a traveling journal between penpals. The memo pad, sticky notes and washi tape are all adorable and would be fun to tuck into letters too.
+ This ephemera pack from The Cloaked Fox is perfect for creatives. I love the vintage stamps and postcards, but all of the pieces would be great for making unique cards or letters.
+ Last but not least, how about another beautiful letting writing kit, this time from Peach and Poppy Co? This one is winter bird themed and includes paper, envelopes, a sticker sheet and even some washi tape samples. You can even add stamps to your order!
The snail, dog and birds are my favorites 🙂
