I would be so happy to receive a card from any of these bespoke boxes!! So cooool!! Thanks for sharing!

Miffy!!

I saw that Backyard Bird Chronicles recently when I was traveling. I only had a backpack so it kept me from buying it then. Maybe now...

I've got the Agatha Christie book covers box, and am often able to send the postcards out to people with relevant profiles. And I've got my eye on the Vibrant Pattern box. That could well be the next one I buy.

I love this topic. I always get so many good ideas from it.

Snoopy! I have the cute dog in my avatar, image taken from an ad/free card that I picked up at my nearby postagent bookstore's counter. Celebrating Snoopy's 75th birthday last World Animal Day 4 Oktober. I was too late ordering the celebration Snoopy stamps, sold online only - sold out now.
But I have some 2010 December stamps picturing Snoopy left! Ready to mail out.

(edit: stamps back in online shop)

I love postcard boxes and I am fortunate to have quite a few, such as the Agatha Christie one! But I would also love to have the Seashores and Ocean Life and A World of Patterns postcard boxes! :)

Here is a set already on my Christmas list at WalMart:

Last year I actually bought 'A world of patterns' and 'Marimekko'. Love them.

I just finished A World of Patterns, it is a fantastic box - these all look great

i love the books reimagined as old book covers!!!

I have one of the boxes!!! I'm loving it so much that I want to keep it instead of sending, haha.

I hoped for several years that National Geographic would produce a postcard box with some of their awesome nature photographs. There are 3 now! I have been enjoying the set of US National Park postcards but will have to check out the mushrooms set as well.

I’m loving the variety of box sets which cater to all sorts of interests! There’s something for everyone 😍

Snoopy and roses... 🤩

Thanks as always. Posts are always illuminating and joy to read. I have to contemplate purchases.....of course.

Absolutely the Agatha Christoe book covers!

Oh, wow.... these are beautiful!

I worked in the Netherlands for several years and visited the Dick Bruna museum in Utrecht. I was not familiar with Postcrossing at the time, but loved postcards and those from Miffy were great souveniers--I bought quite a few individual cards. It's been many years and they were all mailed long ago. I'm going to have to get my hands on the Miffy box!

I would be glad to receive postcard from across the places. I was not familiar with Post crossing earlier but now that I started knowing it I am so so so liking it.

The "Good Movies as Old Books" box is really fun idea.
I was actually looking at it, and didn't read the box name well, and thought: I didn't know this was a book as well :D until I notices, it's not.
The designs look like actual old books, but it's not only that, so very creative idea for postcards box :)

I'm currently working my way through the World of Patterns postcards alongside a Winnie the Pooh box and a Mr Man box.

Miffy 🥰 I love Nijntje 😍

I have the World of Patterns set and as a newbie I've really appreciated the variety of themes it covered, it's helped so much with participation in the forum tags and I even hosted a lottery with 5 of the cards. The card stock is thick and high quality, the prints are so vibrant. Highly recommended.

I would love the Magic: gathering postcard box!

Wow, so nice & cool! Snoopy and Miffy rules!
I would be so thrilled to receive a card from any of these bespoke boxes!!!
Thanks for sharing!

Great post! I am especially drawn to "A World of Patterns". 😍 Not listed here, but the box set I have is "Bookstores Around the World". I've sent several but have many left. Please message me your address if you would like to receive one. 😊

I really love the Water colour ocean life! But the mushrooms, Bird in the backyards and Snoopy are also great! Unfortunately I will buy none of them because I have way to many postcards 😳
But if someone Happens to have these boxes and is Open for a swap of 4-5 blank, contact me 🙂

To the team: Thanks for introducing them!

Not sure which I would pick—Snoopy, Marimekko, Miffy… Hmm! Great gift ideas for postcrossers!

Miffy, Peanuts or Agatha

"Good Movies as Old Books" is so amazing! I got it on a whim and it was so much BETTER than expected. I always get favourite hearts when I send them!

oh, the world of pattern" draws me in as well as the watercolour of oceanlife, and the mushrooms. So far I had "Ghibli" - "Historic British photos" - "pin ups" - "Roald Dahl" - "Garden fresh" - "bicycles" - "London underground" and I think one or two more.... Loved them!

OMG.. I love so many of them : Miffy, Peanuts, Agatha, Good Movie, Klimt.. <3

Miffy cards are unfortunately unavailable :( if you click on a link you can see that

I like the everyday watercolors! It's my favorite medium to view at a museum, so would love to share those with others.

Just put two of these on my Wish List! Movies as Books, and Snoopy. :)

I know what I want for Christmas now! :)

Such a unique mushroom card!

And now there are two more boxes on my wish list ... :)

I just bought an Agatha Christie box! 🥳 Cards about books aren't that easy to find otherwise.

I look forward to the Snoopy one. And love a lot the backyard bird one. The good old movie as book are amazing as well and I'm also eying on the Lore Olympus one... too man too great Postcard boxes...

I bought Clark Little's postcard box after learning about him through Postcrossing. He has taken some stunning shots in the waves!
Sometimes I find old sets of postcards at a second-hand book store in town. The latest was Lewis Hine: the empire state building photographs (30 postcards) So interesting to learn about the world through them!

My favourite is "Good movies as old books", what a great idea! And I think I'd love the "Magic" box. Thanks a lot for the recommendations! 😊

There are so many nice ones...Agatha Christie, Marimekko, bird boxes...

I love snoopy!
"50 Unique Postcards from Charlie Brown and Snoopy’s World"

A World of Patterns is great! That's what I have been using for the majority of my postcards.

During Covid time I started watching birds in my backyard and took lots of photos. Some of them I still send as postcards. I would love to buy this box...or receive it as a X-Mas present. Maybe Santa is reading here ;-)

The mushrooms are adorable! But I am also intrigued by the one with the interesting Patterns.

Hi hi, I got the classic book covers from Agatha Christi already. But I like also Marimeko...

I have a suggestion for the post crossing team: if you prefer to support local stores but still want to have an affiliate link, bookshop.org is an amazon alternative that supports local bookstores! They have postcards for sale and I believe they also have an affiliate program!

@cardamomdaydream Sadly, it only works in the US and the UK at the moment... but we're keeping an eye out for their international expansion! :)

Wow! Miffy and Marimekko!? Seeing all my favorite things together made me so happy!

I bought the Magic box, beautiful!

Thank you for showing these options. Gives me inspiration for my hunt of favorites! Think I'll start with Marimekko since wear clothing from these designs and have collected items since the 60s

Hello Postcrossers,
Love this thread! I have a question please: Are there box sets that are larger sized postcards? The larger cards allow for a bit more writing...
i am looking for 5X7 inches or 13cmX18cm

Thanks,

Graham

Wow, those boxes are cool! :)
Thank you for sharing them with us! I will add them to my postcard hunt list.
