u/wabisabi_sf - thank you for the san fran postcard! I've visited CA a lot, but haven't had the chance to visit SF yet. Hopefully one day! Thank you!

u/withininus - thank you for the beautiful Van Gogh Sunflowers postcard! Van Gogh is one of my favs! Since you mentioned pens, I must say my current favorites are the four candies 0.7mm gradient ones - they write super smooth and don't smudge for me. Thank you again :)

u/freyamour - thank you for the very cute postcard with the kind words. You have beautiful handwriting and I received this today, on a very much needed day! It was perfect. Many thanks. <3

Also thank you to the person who sent the Wisconsin card! Your username was not on it, but i'm so happy to add WI to my state collection, and the postcard with the little cow was so cute! Thank you! :)

I’ve been trying to find more places that I want to get craft supplies from because my usuals always have the same 5 things and never anything new.

Specifically, the 12x12 fancy printed paper pads and things for paper crafts, but anything! Especially budget friendly options. Online or IRL is fine, TIA :)

[USA to WW] Hi everyone! I’m looking for a few consistent pen pals who enjoy getting to know someone over time and building a friendship (that hopefully lasts!)

I’m open to both email and snail mail! Ideally, I’d love weekly conversations through email or 1-2 times a month through physical letters/snail mail. I know life gets busy, so I’m not expecting constant replies, just someone who enjoys having someone to talk to somewhat regularly.

I’d love to meet people with fun quirks, hobbies, passions, or stories to share. Maybe you’re crafty and love making cute or unique cards, maybe you make and want to share your art, maybe you collect trinkets/interesting things, maybe you have a hobby you could talk about for hours, or maybe you just enjoy having someone to vent to and chat with. Whether we have tons in common or come from completely different worlds, I’d love to find people who are open to a meaningful connection.

I’m currently learning German, so I’d especially love to have someone I can practice German with, but I’m open to pen pals from anywhere! US based pen pals will probably have more frequent replies due to shipping times and costs, and email pen pals will likely be easier for more regular conversations, but I'm still open to anything/anywhere.

I’d prefer pen pals to be at least 21 years old, but I don’t have any other restrictions or limits as far as age goes. I’m just looking for kind, respectful people who want to make a new friend.

A little about me:
I’m 25 and from a small town in the eastern US. I love art in all its forms, and I’m a huge gamer, an avid reader, and someone who enjoys baking and getting into a good show or movie when I’m in the mood for it.

I’m a bit of a “hobby collector” and love learning new things. I occasionally crochet and enjoy paper crafts like scrapbooking and card making. I’m always excited to discover new hobbies, hear about other people’s passions, and learn what makes them unique.

I’m passionate about human rights, love all things spooky and horror related, and hope to travel the world someday. I’m physically disabled, so finding ways to connect with others has always been really important to me. Having people to talk to, share interests with, and learn from helps me feel less stuck at home and more connected to the world around me.

If you think we might get along, feel free to comment or send me a message with a bit about you! :)

u/groceryowl - thank you so much for the vermont themed postcard! I'm a huge art fan, and loveee how colorful it is! Thanks for being part of my 50 states project :)

Hi Everyone!

It’s been a while since I’ve been able to hold a contest and I’m so excited for this one! I love this community and thought it’d be a fun way to get more people involved and spread some happiness this week.

Here are the rules:

1. Choose someone that you haven’t gifted in the last 90 days (~mid April) in the sub and gift them! (optional: try to find someone that hasn’t been gifted yet ever but at least for this contest! Spread the joy!)
2. After you’ve done so, tag them with their order number and estimated arrival date below in the comments, just like you normally would. Ideally, try not to spoil any surprises! Only screenshot the order number and ETA, not the actual gift!
3. Those who participate and follow the above rules will have their username entered into a picker wheel. From there, I’ll be spinning for 1-3 gifters to return the favor to depending on how many people participate. :)
4. You may gift as little or as often as you’d like for this contest, however, your name can only be entered into the wheel once.
5. Please do not link any wishlists or registries, and please have an item under $10.00 on your wishlist. I will be using the wishlist in your flair, so make sure you have it updated! :)

Ends Friday, July 24th, 2026. Happy Gifting!

u/tatergator64 thank you for the SC postcard with all of the SC fun facts! In neighboring but don’t visit often and haven’t often been. Mostly to the beaches!
