Gift a letter

Words that arrive exactly when they matter

Write a letter for someone you love today, and we'll deliver it on the day you choose. It's a gift they can't open early, and one they'll keep forever.

A single gift letter is $1.99. Lifetime members can send up to 100 letters a year.

Ideas to get you started

For your child, at 18

Tell them who they were as a little one, what you hoped for them, and how proud you are. Have it arrive on their 18th birthday.

For your partner, years from now

Write about today: where you live, what you laugh about, what you promise. Let it open on your 5th or 10th anniversary.

For a graduate

Send words of encouragement now, sealed for the day they finish, or for a year into their first job when they might need them most.

For a friend, just because

Pick a random date next year and remind them how much they mean to you. Surprises are better when nobody sees them coming.

How it works

  1. 1

    Write your letter

    Choose "Someone else (gift)", add their email, and sign it however you like.

  2. 2

    Pick the day it opens

    Next month, next birthday, or 20 years from now. Add photos or a video if you want.

  3. 3

    We keep it sealed

    It is encrypted and kept safe until the day you chose. You can let them know a letter is coming, or keep it a complete surprise.
