Mini Memories: Why Postcards Make Surprisingly Emotional Gifts

What if we told you the most emotional gift you could send in 2025 is a piece of paper?

Yep—postcards are back. Not just from the beach. Not just from that one cousin who went to Ladakh. We’re talking personalised postcards that make people laugh, tear up, and text you “BRB crying 🥹.”

At People of Prints, we’re obsessed with turning mini moments into mighty memories. And our custom postcards? They do exactly that.

💌 Postcards Are Retro Cool—And Emotionally Loaded

Let’s be real. In a world of disappearing messages and 3-second Reels, getting a postcard in your hand is like receiving a handwritten hug.

• They are small, but feel intimate
• They are affordable, but thoughtful
• They are sharable, stickable, frameable

Whether it’s a cheeky birthday note, a heartfelt thank you, or a flirty “thinking of you”, postcards are low-cost emotional gifts that hit harder than overpriced hampers.

📬 Personalised Postcards = Peak Main Character Energy

Our custom postcards are the kind you save forever. Choose your design. Add a photo. Write something cute, chaotic or cryptic.

💌 Why Postcards Are the New Return Gifting Trend

Tired of boring gift bags and scented candles? Here’s why a postcard set is return gifting gold:

• Budget-friendly AF – You can send love without emptying your wallet.
• Mass personalisation – Make each one slightly different. Or don’t. You’re the artist.
• Lightweight + postage-friendly – No awkward packaging. Just slide and send.

Think weddings, baby showers, parties, or “I forgot to get you something meaningful, but this is even better” energy.

🧠 Pop Culture Ideas for Your Postcards

• Barbiecore pink postcard that says, “You are Kenough.”
• Wednesday Addams-style black-and-white with a dry roast message.
• K-pop fan edit but as a handwritten note. YES.

Whether you’re the main character or the chaotic sidekick, there’s a postcard for that.

✍️ Who Should You Send One To?

• That one friend who always gets you water when you're drunk.
• Your situationship, just to stir the pot.
• Your long-distance bestie.
• Mum. Because you forgot her birthday again.
