A gift they’ll look forward to opening again and again…

Give a Story Delivered by Mail.

Give someone an immersive story that unfolds through real letters, clues, photographs, evidence, and surprises delivered right to their mailbox. Each new envelope brings another piece of the adventure and another reason to wonder what’s coming next.

Whether you’re shopping for a mystery lover, an enthusiastic reader, a curious kid, or someone who already seems to have everything, Mailbox Tales gives them something a little different:

A story they get to experience as it happens.

One Gift. Months of Surprises.

The first envelope is only the beginning.

Twice each month, another piece of the story arrives in the mail. Depending on the Tale, that might mean a new letter, an unexpected photograph, a mysterious document, a clue worth looking at twice, or something else entirely.

And unlike a gift that’s opened and forgotten before the wrapping paper is cleaned up, a Mailbox Tale gives them something new to look forward to month after month.

Tiny Tales: 12 letters delivered over 6 months
Signature Tales: 24 letters delivered over 12 months

Every Tale is one complete story from beginning to end.

The Perfect Gift for Those Hard-to-Buy-For People

Got challenging people on your list? You know the ones…

They don’t need more stuff. They already have a stack of books waiting to be read. And a gift card feels a little too much like giving them an errand.

Mailbox Tales are made for people who love curiosity, surprises, stories, mysteries, and getting something other than a bill in the mail.

Give one to:

  • Mystery lovers
  • Readers and book lovers
  • Kids and families
  • Grandkids, nieces, and nephews
  • Long-distance friends and family
  • Anyone who loves a good surprise

A Gift that Keeps Showing Up

There’s something fun about knowing a gift is coming.

There’s something even better about not knowing exactly what’s inside.

A Mailbox Tale gives your recipient that feeling again and again as the story unfolds. They can follow the clues, make predictions, revisit earlier letters, and try to figure out what’s really happening before the next envelope arrives.

And if you’re following along with them?

Now you have something to talk about every time another piece of the story shows up.
