What does a 3 month gift cover?

Three cards, mailed a month apart to one address, made from whatever the family texts in that month.

The rate works out at $19.99 a month across the quarter, and it holds if the gift continues.

Why a 3 month photo postcard gift subscription is long enough

The second card is when it changes. The first is a surprise, and by the third nobody needs asking.

  • Card one lands about a fortnight after you order
  • Card two is usually the one that gets shown to neighbours
  • By card three the family is sending photos unprompted

Occasions this length suits

Reach for the quarter when the date is fixed and modest: a birthday, a move into assisted living, the season after a new baby arrives.

  • Birthdays, where a year can read as presumptuous
  • A recent move, when the new address needs filling
  • Between siblings splitting one larger gift

What it costs to stop

Nothing. Three months is what you bought, and one click in the portal ends it there.

  • Cancel from the portal, without contacting anyone
  • The months already bought still mail out
  • Anything damaged in transit is reprinted at our cost

Questions families ask

How much is the quarter?
It works out at $19.99 monthly, taken as one charge covering three cards to a single address. Print and postage are inside that figure.
What happens at the end of three months?
It carries on at the same rate until you stop it, which you can do at any point from the portal without speaking to anybody.
When does the first card arrive?
Roughly two weeks: a few days gathering photos from your relatives, then two to five business days with USPS.
Can two sets of grandparents each get one?
Yes. Choose more than one home above and each address receives its own card every month, not a forwarded copy.
Is the writing genuinely handwritten?
No, and we would rather say so. Notes are set in a typeface you pick, chosen so that failing eyesight is not a barrier.
