Postmark & Prose: The Lost Art of Letter Writing, Reimagined

In a world of instant messages and disappearing texts, there’s something quietly powerful about holding a letter in your hands. A moment. A memory. A piece of someone’s heart sealed with intention.

That’s what we believe in at Postmark & Prose and it’s why we’ve brought the art of handwritten letters back to life.

✍️ So… what is Postmark & Prose?

We’re a handwritten letter service based in the Netherlands, but our love letters, birthday notes, and personal keepsakes travel all over the world; especially to places like the U.S., U.K., and Canada.

You choose your letter style, answer a few thoughtful prompts, and we take care of the rest: writing your message by hand, sealing it with wax, and sending it in a beautifully curated package that fits through any standard mailbox. No shipping headaches. Just pure, intentional emotion, delivered.

💌 Why handwritten letters?

Because they last.
Because they matter.
Because when words are written by hand, they hit differently.

At Postmark & Prose, we believe handwritten letters are meaningful gifts -for anniversaries, birthdays, long-distance relationships, moments of grief, or even just because. They’re for the people we miss, the people we love, and the people we sometimes struggle to say the right things to.

🎁 What you’ll get

Each letter comes as an experience with hand-chosen details that feel as personal as the words inside. We offer wax scents, extra notes, and gift edits, because no two messages are ever the same, and they shouldn’t be.

Whether it’s:

  • A long-distance gift that says “I miss you.”

  • A sympathy letter to comfort someone grieving

  • A birthday letter for your mom, dad, or best friend

  • Or a simple love note to say, “I see you, and I care.”

We help you craft a letter that’s deeply personal, even if writing isn’t your thing.

🌍 Who is it for?

Anyone who wants to give something real.
Something that can be held, saved, and remembered.

We’ve written letters for:

  • Long-distance couples

  • Kids away at college

  • Grieving friends

  • New parents

  • Secret admirers

  • And even people writing to themselves 💛

If you're someone who loves words or wishes you had the right ones, we’re here to help you say what matters most.

📬 Let’s bring back the magic of mail

You don’t need to be a poet.
You just need to want to say something that matters.

We’ll help you shape it, write it, seal it, and send it.

Because letters last longer than likes.
Because someone you love deserves more than a text.
Because you’ve got something beautiful to say — and we can’t wait to help you say it.
