Blog > From Miffy to Marimekko: postcard boxes we love

  icon

It’s been a while since our last rummage through the land of postcard boxes… and many sets have come up on the shelves since! We’ve gathered a fresh handful of boxes with 50 or 100 postcards (some quietly beautiful, some gloriously nerdy) that might have slipped past your radar and are just begging to be written and mailed.

But first, a small disclaimer: this post contains affiliate links. If you click the links below to buy these sets through Amazon, Postcrossing earns a tiny commission at no extra cost to you. Prefer shopping local? Please do — it’s always our favourite option! 💪

Four postcard boxes lined up: Everyday Watercolor, Mushrooms, A World of Patterns and Good Movies as Old Books Four postcard boxes lined up: Lore Olympus,The Klimt Box, Marimekko and Agatha Christie Classic Book Covers Four postcard boxes lined up: Backyard Bird Chronicles, Magic: The Gathering, Miffy's World and Peanuts: Happiness Is a Postcard

We’re already eyeing a few for our own mail stack… hello, Snoopy! 😍

Which set would you reach for first? If you’re hunting for more, our forum has a handy wiki directory and a lively topic full of recommendations. Happy writing!

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.
