Jay Mail Club

Each month Studio Jay sends a letter laid out like a newspaper front page, an A5 illustrated print of a New Zealand spot (a mix of well known places and lesser known finds), a hand illustrated card suggesting an outdoor activity to try, and one rotating bonus such as a mini zine, a seasonal recipe card, a colouring page or a seed packet. Members also get a small gift in their birthday month.

Everything is designed, printed and posted from near Mt Hutt in New Zealand's South Island, so the seasons follow the Southern Hemisphere. The club costs NZ$10 a month with free stamped, untracked shipping, and international members are welcome. Sign up by the 22nd to get the next month's envelope.

A nice fit for outdoorsy people and anyone curious about New Zealand landscapes.
