Fairy Mail

Fairy Mail sends children real letters from fairies inspired by Australian native flowers such as waratah, wattle and flannel flower. Each envelope, addressed to the child, holds a letter from a different fairy, an illustrated fairy card and photos of the real bloom, nudging kids to notice the plants of the Australian bush. A sister Elf Mail line works the same way.

Letters are sold as prepaid bundles of 3, 6 or 12 (A$42.90, A$82.50 or A$130.90 for Australian buyers). Everything posts from Victoria around the 15th of each month by untracked Australia Post letter mail, and orders after the 15th start the following month. Some international destinations are served too.

Screen-free fun for young fairy fans and a handy gift from faraway grandparents.
