- Go to number 1 to receive more postcards!

“In the digital age, it is so easy to keep up with people. You’ve got acquaintances on Facebook, emails with your distant relatives, texting with your grandparents, and tweeting at celebrities and politicians. Something about the act of writing things out by hand on physical paper, sealing it in an envelope, and dropping it in the mail makes the whole message feel much more personal and enjoyable.”
