Any dad who loves history! And, of course, non-dads are welcome too.

Letterjoy is particularly popular as a present for lawyers, grandparents, teachers, veterans, and college students, but we've seen Letterjoy gifted to governors, comedians, plumbers, and more.

We have gift members on six continents, including spouses, bosses, parents, grandparents, children, great grandparents, and more.

We have also seen Letterjoy gifted to people of all professions, from top politicians and captains of industry to local reverends and teachers.

Yes. The historical letters we mail to your history-loving dad's door are reproductions of real letters (or telegrams) written by legendary figures and eloquent eyewitnesses. They are sourced from some of the finest archives, special collections, and private sources on the planet.

For more information on sourcing, and the philosophical debate over what constitutes authenticity (and our stance on it), reach out to Support[at]letterjoy[dot]co.

Of course! Treat yourself to any of our packages. You deserve something to look forward to as you check the mail each week.

Yes. All Letterjoy bundles include free USPS First-Class postage. Members and gift recipients with mailing addresses outside the United States will incur a modest international postage surcharge.

Every Letterjoy letter your history buff will receive will arrive with "The Postscript," a detailed article about your letter, the person who wrote it, and the events described within it.

For more details on how we write "The Postscript" and why many Letterjoy members consider it the highlight of their experience, visit this page.

Yes! No screens are required to enjoy Letterjoy. Letterjoy is the perfect gift for dads and grandfathers who aren't online, plus dads who are looking for less screen time.

Our letters arrive via First-Class mail, and "the Postscript," the article about each letter, arrives in the very same envelope.

Letterjoy is a great way to decompress and disconnect from the digital world.

Yes. We mail to moms, dads, husbands, wives, and grandparents around the world. Charges for additional postage may apply (and letters may take 2-3 weeks to arrive, depending on the quality of your local postal carrier).

Letters are sent via first-class mail once per week. Newly activated orders usually go out in the first mailing of the month you selected at checkout.

For Father's Day gift orders, we recommend selecting July as your start month and presenting your dad or grandfather with our printable welcome letter on the holiday itself. Your dad's first historic letter will arrive in early July.

For Christmas gift orders, we recommend selecting our January start month. Present your history lover with our printable welcome letter on Christmas morning, and their first letter will arrive in early January.

Please Note: If you purchase within a week of the start of your start month, your first letter will (in most cases) go out with our 2nd mailing of the month.

Recently moved? Buying a gift for a snow-bird or someone on an extended vacation? You can change your address right from our self-serve address-change form (https://www.letterjoy.co/pages/update-address).

Please note: Address changes may take 7-10 days to process. Because we print some envelopes in advance, a letter may be mailed to your previous address even after your address change is submitted.

Our one-year plan is the best deal we offer. Our six month plan is also a great value and offers our widest selection of topic choices.
