What's included in
our envelopes
Letter
The letter is written by hand, and you'll receive a copy of it on archival paper. The background of the paper is printed on with a vintage design
Storyline ephemera
To enhance the experience, we include a surprise collectible item relating to the letter; this could be anything from a newspaper advertisement to a Polaroid picture of a story character
Authentic vintage postcard
They range from 1910-1970. We source these through local antique shops in San Francisco, and you receive a random one each time, which adds to the surprise
