The Petit Mail Story
“I first created Petit Mail when my daughter NJ was two and a half and loved walking with me to our community mailbox. As a lover of snail mail, I started looking for the “perfect” snail mail subscription for her to enjoy – something bright and fun, with beautiful illustrations, a short story, a way for me to connect and engage with her. Most importantly, I wanted something affordable, without large shipping fees. I couldn’t find quite the right thing, and so….I started the work to bring my idea to life!
Over the past few years I’ve worked hard to create a kids subscription that I believe is affordable and accessible to everyone. When you order a Petit Mail story postcard subscription, I still get excited and do a little dance of joy. Each and every time.” – Alison
Petit Mail is a bright, fun snail mail story postcard subscription for kids ages three to early reader.
Discover The JOY of Snail Mail
Petit Mail is the fun way to introduce a new generation to the joy of snail mail. Created and written by mom and entrepreneur Alison Butler, each story postcard is packaged, stamped and addressed by hand.
Every month, your Petit Mail story postcard arrives in your mailbox in a bright, colourful envelope, addressed with your child’s first name. There is always something new to discover – some months you might find an extra stamp or doodle on your envelope and your mail is always sealed with coloured tape.
Each month, story postcards are:
(+) full colour, double-sided.
(+) printed on thick, quality cardstock.
(+) packaged in bright, fun colourful envelopes featuring stamps, embossing & tape.
(+) some months include little extras, like stickers & other goodies.
