Give thanks with a real letter.

Tell the people at your table, near or far, what you’re grateful for. A Thanksgiving card with your words in real ink is the kind that ends up on the fridge.

Order by Nov 8 for Thanksgiving (an estimate from our real writing and mailing times).

  • Your note inside, in real ink
  • A hand-addressed envelope and a real stamp

Questions

Yes. A real pen, guided by a handwriting machine, writes your Thanksgiving message in the handwriting style you pick, in real ink. Then it is addressed by hand, stamped and mailed for you.

Of course. Write every word yourself, start from one of the suggested messages, or tell us a little about them and we draft it for you to edit.
