50 Things To Send To Your Penpal

Hello my darlings,

It's no secret that I enjoy sending packages and letters across the globe to my penpals, I've always loved giving to people but sometimes the giving is the problem - What do I give to my penpal that can fit inside an envelope? What the heck do I send them besides a simple letter? The sole purpose of having a penpal is exchanging letters but it's also nice to send them a few goodies along too. I know I'm not the only one who has been stuck on what to send to their pen pals/snail mail buddies so I decided to create a list of things you could send to them without breaking the bank for postage.

Why I Have A Pen Pal (And Why You Should Have One Too)

I have to be honest at first the idea of a pen pal seemed pretty boring and childish to me, that's something that kids do in primary school - so I once thought but over time my opinions changed deeply towards it. The idea of having a penpal as an adult first struck me when my partner, Tee brought up the subject and decided that she wanted to send letters to internet friends from the UK. Weeks past and the letters were coming back and forth between Tee and her new-found buddies and then my curiosity got the better of me - I got a penpal of my own.

I've always had a love for writing and that's why I have a blog but it's not the same as putting pen to paper. I just adore the look of handwritten letters, journal spreads and vintage stamps, they're like little time capsules because they're not very common anymore because everybody is too busy texting or tweeting 24/7
