There is still nothing quite like receiving a handwritten letter from a friend you haven’t heard from in years. Or a note sneakily inserted into your book in the middle of class by a secret admirer. This year, we’re encouraging you to go back to old-fashioned lettered writing and we’ll help you get started! Here are the 10 people we think you should send a postcard to today!
1. Your childhood best friend who now lives miles away
You haven’t seen each other since you were in fourth grade but it’s always nice to send a life update by way of a quick scribble. You know that even if there are so many ways to communicate these days, you’ll always remember passing notes to each other in class. And this is the next best thing!
2. To your friend who’s always traveling
Your friend is always sending everyone postcards from all over the world, but wouldn’t it be fun for her to come home to letters from friends, too?
3. A classmate who needs inspiration
When you’re not in the best mood, a simple thing as motivational words from a friend can instantly cheer you up!
4. A friend who’s moving away
Remind her that you’re just a postcard away and that you’ll always be there for her—no matter what.
5. Your guy on your anniversary
It might seem like the simplest gift in the world. But believe us when we say that a handwritten “I love you” is something that he’ll treasure just as much—or even more—than a store-bought token.
6. Your parents or siblings who work overseas
Being miles away from each other can be a little lonely sometimes. Even if you FaceTime constantly or send each other a message every minute on WhatsApp, getting something in the mail will definitely be a lovely surprise!
7. Your ex-best friend you had a falling out with
Why not start the year on a positive note? Let bygones be bygones and leave your grudges in the past. Forgive and rebuild your friendship.
