How the Nostalgia Series Work

It's like a snail mail subscription without the subscription: you pay once, and the letters end after the fourth.

While helping her parents pack up the family home, Amy is surrounded by the things that defined her childhood, and she starts writing letters about them. Over four weekly letters she revisits the shows everyone watched, the songs on the radio, the toys and gadgets on every wish list, and the snacks in every lunchbox. Each series focuses on a single decade and is personalized with the reader's name.

Choose a Decade

Pick the decade they grew up in. All four are 4-letter series, mailed weekly.

  • 1970s Nostalgia: For the reader who remembers the 70s firsthand, or grew up hearing about them.
  • 1980s Nostalgia: For anyone who misses the movies, music, and toys of the 80s.
  • 1990s Nostalgia: For the 90s kid who still knows every theme song.
  • 2000s Nostalgia: For the millennial who wants to relive the turn of the century.

The Easiest (and Most Unique!) Gift for Milestone Birthdays

Not sure what to get someone turning 40, 50, or 60? Pick the decade they were a kid or teenager in. Nostalgia letters spark conversations, bring back memories, and feel personal in a way most birthday gifts don't. The first letter can be wrapped and sent with your own note.
