Welcome to World Letter Writing Day

World Letter Writing Day offers a delightful escape for families, especially those with children, to unplug from the digital world and rediscover the timeless joy of letter writing. It's incredible how this simple act can enhance children's focus on their studies and education. Moreover, we've found that exchanging letters is a wonderful way to strengthen family bonds.

A heartfelt thank you note to mum and dad is always cherished and grandparents' faces light up with joy when they receive a letter from their grandchildren. Our mission is to share the happiness that comes from the heartfelt exchange of handwritten letters with loved ones. The joy a letter brings can be cherished forever. After all, who ever discards a love letter? While World Letter Writing Day is celebrated on 1st September, we invite everyone to embrace the art of letter writing, any day of the year! World Letter Writing Day is more than a single occasion; it's a chance to spread happiness throughout the year.
