[Offer] Cards with a "New Baby" Stamp [UK and/or WW]

I got a sheet of stamps that includes four adorable "New Baby" themed ones. Would anybody like a card sent using one of these? Maybe you have a new human member of your family, or a brand new fur baby? A shiny new toy? Honestly, any reason you can think of for why this stamp might apply to you, haha!

First come first serve for the first four commenters. :)

How long do you tend to spend on each card?

Just a little discussion out of curiosity - how much time do you think you spend writing/decorating/enveloping/stamping each card you send out? :) For me, I send as much for myself as for the recipient, so the longer I get to spend on the card, the more "me time" I feel like I get out of it. 💌

[Thank You] An awaited postcard and a final-stop TPC! 💌

u/Adept-Mulberry-6510 - Postcard attempt #2 has reached me! Thank you for the lovely nēnē goose card and the gorgeous extras you sent! Awesome stamp math too - loving the Gatsby Style and diving stamps in particular. As for my favourite birds, I like bluetits, bluebirds, goldfinches, parrots and ducks the most, I think! 🦆

u/boomerang88 x2 - Thank you for sending me the insect/flowers TPC. I'm its last stop so I'll be sending it home shortly! And thank you for sending the lovely butterfly postcard with it!

[Offer] Origami heart cards 💙💚🧡 [WW]

I've almost sent out all the mail that I had committed to, so it's time to commit to more!

I finally found a good use for my card blanks. I'm loving handmade cards lately, but I'm not crafty by any means. Still, I found a really easy origami heart tutorial, so I grabbed some patterned origami paper and gave it a go. These are just simple folded cards with an origami heart stuck to the front, but I think they're cute. It's handy because the envelope helps squish them flat for sending, but they have a little bit of a 3D element when you take them out!

I've sent out a couple to some folks already, but I've made 7 specifically for this offer too. Since I already got confirmation that one of them arrived safely I thought I may as well pop the post up now!

I may make more sometime to use up some more origami paper and card blanks, if people like these. I could find some tutorials for other simple flat-ish designs too. 😊 I think that could be fun!

To enter, please:

💌 Be flaired

💌 Comment below with your favourite emoji heart colour 🩷 This won't affect which card you get, it's just for fun!

💌 Be willing to sent me a writing prompt if you're chosen

I'll close this after 24 hours and choose 7 recipients randomly. 🥰

I'll also be including a bonus postcard in each envelope, to sandwich the card for extra protection!

Thanks for sharing your memories of Rhythm Tengoku - I've played every game in the series including the original and I love the Bon Odori too :) And Groove has been amazing if you ever get to check the full game out! Thank you for sharing your coffee orders too - Nutella latte sounds so good. I have to find somewhere that serves that!

u/reindeerfrog x2 - Thank you for the coffee postcard and the lovely rainbow kitty postcard! I'm glad we have another enjoyer of instant coffee in our midst. xD I don't have a coffee maker either and just use the kettle, and I confess I too enjoy the flavoured sachets!

u/kimboburly - Thank you for the colourful Expressions card and stickers! My back is feeling a lot better though still having to be careful with it :) I appreciate your kindness!

u/classic-power-333 - Thank you so much for the funny cat postcard from the bookstore café! I'm pretty sure my city is supposed to be getting something similar soon! Your favourite drinks are so fruity, I love it! I had a dragonfruit drink at a pancake place local to me lately!

[Thank You] Order up! ☕️

Thank you u/Hysteria_Wisteria for responding to my coffee request! I love all the extra drinks related stationery items you sent; the scratch and sniff coffee sticker really does smell of coffee! I know what you mean about "cheating" on a café, haha - lately my friend and I have been frequenting two other eateries in the same tiny shopping centre as the one we were going to religiously before. They're so close together that the owners can definitely see us dining in the other places across from them. 🫣 Oh, and I LOVE the birds on the card, too! So glittery! ✨️

[Offer] Please take a wedding card off my hands 🙈 [WW]

Sooo I've managed to buy the same card as my parents to give to the couple at my brother's wedding. 🤪 Thankfully my mum spotted it in time before I wrote in it. 😅

Offering up a wedding day card to whoever! Doesn't have to be your real wedding. You can be marrying food or your job if you like. Just someone please take it. 🤣

First come first serve. 💍🔔 Comment below if you'd like it!

[Request] Can I get your coffee orders? ☕️ [UK]

I tend to label myself the Beverage Queen. I seem to have a bottomless stomach for drinks of any kind no matter how full I am food-wise. And I want to hear about your favourites!

It doesn't have to be coffee if you don't like it. Perhaps tea, juice, milkshakes, soft drinks? Whatever your go-to drink order at a café might be, please write it on a card for me!

For me, I actually do usually do whatever diet cola is on offer, but if I'm in the mood for coffee, I tend to do black. I drink flavoured coffees at home but I love a proper Americano, which is always better at a café than the instant stuff I have at home!

Finally got some reasonably-sized stamps!

A lot of the stamps I've been receiving to use have been massive and kind of difficult to fit reasonably on postcards, so pretty pleased with the selection I got this time!

u/smonikkims — 2 months ago

[Offer] Help me use up some stamps I've been avoiding [WW]

Edit: Thanks for the interest everyone!! This is fulfilled now. 🎶

Hey all. I've been putting off using most of my Battle of Britain stamps because I know not everyone would like to receive mail with war-related stamps. I have them because they came as part of a mystery pack, and I have used a few with people who are comfortable, but I thought I'd make an offer to get rid of the rest. It's this sheet of stamps if you'd like to see.

If you claim, you'll receive an envelope containing a folded card and a postcard. ✉️

Please check the linked image of the stamps to make sure you're comfortable receiving them on your mail! Comment below and then message me with your address if I don't have it!

First come first serve. 😊 Thanks everyone - these have been sitting around for a while and it seems a waste!

I'll mark this as fulfilled when I have enough addresses to use up the stamps.

P.S. Please understand that these won't be sent right away! I need to source some new envelopes first and I have a few other cards on my to-send list in the meantime. Your cards will come as a nice surprise as soon as possible! 🎶

[Request] Happy Mail [UK]

Hi everyone. I have a recurring back issue as of last year which has just reared its head again. I'm okay, but I'm just feeling a touch emotional about it because it's a reminder that I'm not as young as I used to be and I'm never really going to be the same.

I'd love to receive some happy mail if possible. I don't need get well cards or anything, just stuff to bring a smile. 😊

I have a list of likes on my profile's pinned post if anyone would like inspo.

Thanks again to anyone who would be willing to send something. 💙

[Thank You] For all the mail!

u/AceusErin - Thank you for the lovely postcard! I remember going around with a Tamagotchi on a lanyard when I was a lot younger, and it was cool to encounter someone in the wild also wearing one. 😊 I love the starry night OG remake, it's beautiful. My favourite Connection growing up was the V3 and the Connection remakes are most similar to that. :) I also love the corner shop games! I'm not running any tamas at the moment but I'd love to pick up the Connection again :)

u/FeistyNoodle - Your fruity postcard arrived, thank you! The artwork is super cute, I love their silly little faces! And all the fruity stamps are super appropriate, haha. 🍎🍇🍒

u/K_growles - You sent me an incredibly detailed card all about Rune Factory and some GORGEOUS artwork. I'll be sending response mail soon. Thank you SO much. 🥕🍅

[Offer] 4x Slightly Undersized Sea View Cards [UK]

Hey all, I bought a box set of pretty sea view illustrated cards which measure 13cm by 13cm, which is technically under RM's minimum of 9x14. I asked on the RM sub and some responders had said that undersized letters do pass through often, so I figured these are so very barely undersized that they're probably safe as long as they just travel within the UK for now. Think of it as an experiment!

There are 4 different designs in the box so I thought I'd just do 4 recipients to start with. ⛵️ They're all pretty and fairly similar so I'll pick a design at random to send.

To claim:

💙 Be in the UK

💙 Comment below

💙 Chat me your address if I don't have it, plus a writing prompt

I'd appreciate knowing if they arrive okay! I know I could just find slightly larger envelopes for them but I'd rather not waste what I have if they're still pretty likely to make it. And I'm curious to see if they do! 🌊
