I got a few postcards made from silk and paper, I also saw there are postcards made from wood, copper, fabric.. on the internet ! There are even postcards with dvds on them. I wonder if anyone has anything like that! Let’s make an exchange:)
u/uneverermink thank you for the dog card with cute doggies stamps! Sooooo adorable!! And the little golden retriever stamp is definitely my favorite! 🤩 I love it!
u/t3ctim *2 thank you for the birthday card! Your advice is definitely valuable! I would try to explore more places in the future:P tbh I’ve been staying at home for a very long time and I feel like mushrooms are growing on my head. The vintage card is very interesting, I’ve never received anything like that, the style is a cute and a bit silly :P love it! The oldest card I have is probably from 1900, very old French card.
u/post-cat-1710 thanks for the beautiful card! And the stamps you used are so nice too!!
I handmake cards year round. This year I'm very behind so I might have to use my store bought emergency stash.
Which is totally OK because cards are amazing and important!!
so fill up the form and hopefully by Christmas you'll receive your card
The usps is being slowed, delayed and understaffed so I'll hurry to get these out ASAP!
Still need 150 more to sign up!
If you already signed up but don't remember whether or not you did, no worries you can only edit after the initial fill!
*This is a repost because I still have leftover cards*
Hi everyone,
I hope that you are doing well and are in good health ready for the holiday season.
I know that I have already made a post for myself offering Australian Christmas cards worldwide, but it's actually going to be my dog's first Christmas this year!
I know that this will sound strange (but if you think it is, then wait until you meet me lol), but I'm offering out Christmas cards that will be written by me with a cutesy Christmas message, but I will be sending it on my dog's behalf.
If you want a card from a fun-spirited pup (yes, I will definitely include a photo with the card), please fill out this form below and I will get writing :)
Hi! New to this subreddit and excited to join a like minded community! My husband is a tactile enthusiast with a BIG heart. He loves doing things the old fashioned way and wants people to feel special, so he always makes time to send people letters or cards for their birthdays. Now, he adores Christmas. It's his favorite holiday and in his own way of spreading joy, he will send out hundreds of Christmas cards every year, but we only receive about 10 cards a year in return (if we are lucky). I can see it in his eyes that it makes him sad and that it has been hard on him.
I thought this year it would be a special surprise if he could receive a little more than usual, so I'm hopeful some of you could help me!
Please let me know if you're interested and I can DM our address. And if you leave a name and return address, we'll send you a card back!! Thank you all in advance.
I have a good handful of art print postcards from the Ortigas Foundation, which is basically a library that helps preserve Filipino art, history, and culture. The postcards are beautiful and show 1890s artwork of significant/historic sites.
Please be flaired (20<) to claim and I’ll send you my form!
Hi all! I've been an active sender on this sub before, but took a short break and am now back :)
I have recently gone through my card box and have so many animal postcards that need a home! I made a google form (below) that you can fill out if you'd like one sent your way. There's also an option to choose which continent you would like your animal from (based on availability).
Help me use up my postcard stamps :)
Thank you u/invalid_crumb for the beautiful Bush Lily card! I love botanical cards 🌷
Thank you u/sneezing_protractor for the Belted Kingfisher card! I like how the card shows the differences bt the male and female of the species...which is the red markings on the chest feathers 😯
Thank you u/girlsonabench fir the beautiful pastel green card! I love the pastel green. Its my favorite! 💚
Thank you u/diffitt for the adorable Polar bear card. Happy holidays to you too. And like that Polar bear, I hope u stay cozy 🐻❄
I have 3 cards that are left for my Thanksgiving cardathon my daughter and I made together. They are premade with quotes written in them, and stuffed with stickers. Please fill out this form if you would like one https://forms.gle/TvSsEaywYAFV45tR9
I will close the form once it is filled out. Comment below that you filled it out so I can keep track of post please. Thanks and have a great week.
Hello! My wife Laura loves the Christmas season. From decorating the tree and apartment, to playing the N'sync Christmas album any time she can, she's all about Christmas. This year she's having a hard time finding her Christmas spirit, so I thought maybe a Christmas card shower would really help her out and give her the Christmas spirit she's looking for.
I made a card with Medieval art pictures and stickers. Would anybody like it? :)
Thank you u/nonoyo_91 for the card and stickers! I loved them! Where did you get the great old postage stamps?
I have NSFW, literary cards, and religious cards. You won't be able to choose which one I send.
Rules:
Thank you so much! It's the first one my girls and I are adding to our holiday collage.
u/spookyseabird - thank you for the belated Halloween card! I love that you made your own costume, hope you had fun as a blue m&m! I unfortunately got sick Halloween and had to stay in bed
u/heymorganM - thank you very much for the women who dared postcard, and for sharing Milena Jesenka's story. I have a book called "journalistas: 100 years of the best writing and reporting by women journalists." This postcard is the perfect bookmark.
Thank you so much u/ilovetravelandmail for lovely postcard. It’s always so exciting to get mail from other countries.
u/sneezing_protractor
Thanks for the pretty acorn woodpecker postcard and the story about the house finch! 🐦
Hi all, I'm bummed that I misplaced my cards for a while until, by some miracle, they were all found! PHEW!
Here are my belated thank yous to those who have kindly sent me cards over the last few months.
thanks u/onebadjoke and u/DangerousResist9131 for the cards!
Hi everyone! I am new to this community and am very excited to get started. I have around 30 cards that I’d love to send out in anticipation of the holidays. Please fill out my form if you’re interested and I’ll get those sent out over the next week. ☃️🎄🎁

I love the Hallmark card! It's so nice.
The paper crane is soooo cute! I wasn’t expecting so many cards, thank you so much
The ladybug drawing had me. Wouldn’t necessarily say horror movies make me happy, I highly enjoy watching them.
It’s so nice that you and your MIL have a collection. Vintage cards are so nice.
Edited to add: I’m trying to find out who sent this. I can’t find the username.
/u/MoonChica Thank you so much for your card! You put in so much effort decorating it and I appreciate it so much! I love all the stickers and stamps. Thank you for the sweetest message and I wish you all the best🫶
/u/ninajyang Thank you for your beautiful spooky card and your wishes! I gasped when I saw it, it's gotta be one of my favorites ever! Super cool and right up my alley. Thank you for the wishes, I hope you have a wonderful day :)
/u/thecaledonianrose Thank you for the card I love it so much! And then the stickers fell out! Over the Garden Wall is one of my favorite things in the world and I might put that one in my phonecase :)
/u/neverbeentooz The card did reach me in time and I had a lovely day! Thank you so much for sending me your spooky mail and I'm sending you a big hug back and some spooky (and snowy) vibes🫶
/u/ThePandaPost Hi Panda! The one who coined the term "Birthdayween"! The extremely awesome card that made my friends jealous aside, your message meant a lot and I appreciate you. I also love your handwriting. Thank you so much🫶
/u/OhneBremse_OhneLicht The card was perfect and brought fall vibes all around! Thank you for sharing a piece of your city with me. It looks like a dream. Also I LOVED all three stamps, thank you for putting in so much effort for me, I will cherish it forever!
/u/tigerlady13 Thank you so much for the most beautiful card ever! And thank you for taking the time to decorate it, it's adorable! I also really enjoyed the stamps but the ghosties washi tape took the cake for me. Thank you once again🫶
/u/Alpin2018 No way did I get a glittery Halloween card! It's absolutely perfect. Thank you for all the beautiful wishes. October was kind to me, I got to see many beautiful colors and have a birthday with the people I love. Now we're all snowed in though! I love your card so much and thank you for writing to me, I wish you all the best🫶
/u/ambykittykat I am so so so grateful for you! Every part of your mail is so special to me, and the raccoon one made me giggle so much. You did NOT send me a Halloween pack of Pokemon cards!! Best gift ever. I got a Phantump, Umbreon and a shiny Flutter Mane card! Thank you for all the effort you put into making this for me and I hope your kindness comes back to you.
I'd just like to thank everyone for participating, I never expected so many people to reach out. Know that you all made a 25th birthday so much more special and unforgettable. It might seem like such a small act of kindness but it means more than you can imagine. I wish you all the best and sending each of you a hug. Happy Birthdayween!
Hey guys! Thank you to everyone who sent me cards this month and last month. The mailroom I get my cards at lost track of my PO box for a while, so I got a massive stack of cards this morning! It was certainly exciting, but I do feel a bit bad for not being able to post thank yous before now. Either way, I never though I would get this much mail.
I have six (6) Christmas mailers remaining from the stack I ordered for my Christmas mailings this year. It features... Well, I won't tell you, but I will say someone very special to me who passed on, and it celebrates the life of that individual. The cards do say "Merry Christmas" if that's important to you.
Depending on how many responses I get to this post, I'll select at random who receives the Christmas cheer I have to offer. If only a few people respond, then everyone gets a card! Hahaha. I will mark the post fulfilled after I've received ample responses.
Happy Holidays to you & yours!
I have a bunch of Christmas postcards and I would love to send you one! Please fill out this form and I will have one on the way to you soon(ish).
