Every year I see the same thing. People have plenty of ideas until the moment comes to actually pick a gift. Then the panic starts. And it gets even trickier when the person loves mail, books, cats or all of these at once.
So this year I decided to make a small gift guide. Nothing complicated, just a few clear directions and ideas. You can mix and match everything, and of course, you can build your own gifts.
The fun part is that you can now combine products with Wrap as Gift, so you can create a personalised present for a Postcrossing friend for under 10 EUR. I’ll make sure it arrives looking neat and joyful.
Let’s start.
1. For Postcrossers and Mail Lovers
If someone checks their mailbox more often than the weather forecast, this section is for them.
Postcard sets, stickers, themed stationery, fun extras and the new Postcrossing Essentials bundle. It’s a great way to build a small starter kit or a refill for all those swaps waiting in the queue.
Gifts from this section are perfect for:
- swap lovers
- new Postcrossers
- people who adore postboxes and happy mail moments
2. For Book Lovers
Some people collect bookmarks the way others collect cutlery. They always carry a book, find time to read everywhere and have very strong opinions about genres.
For them I have a wide bookish items section. You can fill it with cosy reading vibes, fantasy themes, romance, mystery or anything that matches their reading mood. Postcards, stickers, letter paper, journaling details, bookmarks… whatever feels right.
Gifts from this section are perfect for:
- everyday readers
- friends who always have a book in their bag
- anyone with a long Goodreads list
3. For Cat Lovers
We all know at least one person whose entire phone gallery is full of cats. If that person also enjoys mail or Postcrossing, choosing a gift becomes incredibly easy.
You can include cat themed postcards, stickers, bookmarks or anything from the Marluki world. And if you add Wrap as Gift, I’ll turn the whole thing into a sweet little surprise.
Gifts from this section are perfect for:
- cat people
- people who are becoming cats 😀
- anyone who laughs at cat memes
4. For Coffee People
Some people have a favourite cup and a favourite time of day. They enjoy the smell, the ritual and the tiny moment of calm.
The Coffee stationery gifts are perfect here. Postcards, small journaling details, illustrations that feel warm and slow.
Gifts from this section are perfect for:
- friends who don’t talk before their first cup
- baristas from your favorite cafe
- coffee romantics
5. For Floral & Botanical Fans
This is the most universal option of all. Flowers and botanical themes work for almost everyone who loves soft, calming designs.
You can build a gentle little bundle from floral postcards, stickers, letter paper and stationery pieces. It can be very minimal or very full, depending on what you want to create.
Gifts from this section are perfect for:
- people who love nature
- fans of botanical illustrations
- someone who appreciates a soft aesthetic
6. Small Gifts Under 5 EUR
If you need a symbolic gift that still feels thoughtful, this is the easiest route.
Build Your Own Bundle + Wrap as Gift let you create a personalised mini present for under 5 EUR. Here you will find a lot of stationery goodies at an amazing price.
Ideas:
- a small Postcrossing starter pack
- postcards + a sticker sheet
- a bookmark + journaling detail
- themed mini set
A Few Last Words
This guide isn’t meant to tell you what to buy. It’s just here to make the process easier, especially if your mind goes blank the moment you open a gift category page. You can choose everything yourself or let me help you. I love helping people pick gifts.
If you want a more personalised suggestion, just write me. I’m always here in the shop, surrounded by postcards, stickers and a lot of good mail energy.
