Zip's Mailbox Club sends kids ages 3-12 (broken into age bands: (i) under 4, (ii) 4-6, (iii) 7+ years old) two pieces of real mail a month: a personalized letter from Zip, a warm little postage stamp who lives in the mailbox, plus a mid-month envelope. What makes it special: it's two-way - when a child writes (or draws) back, Zip remembers what they said and weaves it into the next letter, building one continuing story!
Zip's Mailbox Club is a monthly personalized letter club for kids ages 3-12, built by a dad who wanted his own kids to have something to look forward to that wasn't a screen.
Zip is a warm little postage stamp who lives in every kid's own mailbox. Every month, a child gets two pieces of real mail: a personalized letter from Zip written around their real name and interests, and a mid-month envelope with a note, an age-matched coloring page, games, and so much more! Collectible Mailbox Crew character cards and a year-long mystery run through the whole year. Letters are age-banded, so a 3-year-old and a 10-year-old get genuinely different letters matched to where they are as readers and writers.
What makes Zip's different: it's two-way! When a child writes or draws back - Zip remembers what they said and weaves it into the next letter. It builds into one continuing story about that specific kid.
Every envelope is hand-packed. Gift-givers can choose when the first letter arrives!
