Margquerit Mail Club

Margquerit, a small maker of handmade ceramics and stationery, sends a letter packed with paper goods every other month, written like a note from a friend. Past editions layer vintage art ephemera, sticky notes, stickers, cards and pretty packaging, aimed at stationery lovers and sticker collectors.

Mail goes out in the first week of even-numbered months (February, April, June, August, October and December), and signing up during an even month gets you that month's letter. It costs $15 per letter in the US and $18 internationally, sent with postage stamps and no tracking; allow 2 to 3 weeks in the US and 3 to 5 abroad. Past issues are sold individually.

For anyone who can spend hours in a museum gift shop.
