What our readers say…

“It feels like stepping into a period drama.”
★★★★★
I originally bought this as a gift for my mum, who loves historical dramas, and now we both look forward to each letter arriving. The quality of the paper, the writing, even the wax seal, makes it feel genuinely special. She calls me every two weeks after reading it to talk about what she thinks will happen next. It’s such a simple thing, but it’s created something we share. I’ve already recommended it to friends as a thoughtful gift.

“The anticipation is my favourite part.”
★★★★★
I bought this for myself at first, but it’s quickly become something I share with my daughter when she visits. There’s something surprisingly powerful about receiving a story in instalments. It makes you slow down. Each letter adds another layer, another twist, and by the time the next one arrives you’re genuinely excited again. In a world of instant streaming and scrolling, this feels meaningful and intentional.

“I haven’t looked forward to the post like this in years.”
★★★★★
Every fortnight I find myself checking the letterbox like a child again. I put the kettle on, sit down somewhere quiet, and break the wax seal slowly. It’s become a little ritual I genuinely look forward to. The cliffhangers are brilliant, just enough to keep you thinking about it for days. It feels personal and thoughtful, not mass-produced. I actually bought the second story as a birthday gift for my sister because I knew she’d love that same feeling.
Meet the Founders
Welcome - we’re so glad you’re here!
We’re Laurens and Amy, the creators behind Kindred Letters.
Kindred Letters began with a simple idea: in a world of constant notifications and endless scrolling, what if a story arrived slowly, through your letterbox, one sealed envelope at a time?
Laurens has always loved storytelling and missed the art real post, which is why he started writing letters again to his nephew when he started learning how to read - to connect with him from a distance.
Amy shares a love for nostalgia, romance, and the quiet joy of sitting down with a cup of tea and a good story. Together, we began crafting letters the old-fashioned way, written as personal correspondence, including story-linked keepsakes and designed to feel like something discovered rather than consumed.
For years, everything felt instant to us - emails, messages, streaming, scrolling. We wanted to create something slower. Something you could live with. A story that arrived gradually, through your letterbox, one sealed instalment at a time.
Every story is written with care. Every envelope is prepared thoughtfully. Each print cycle is limited so it never feels mass-produced.
Kindred Letters isn’t just about plot twists or cliffhangers. It’s about restoring anticipation. It’s about slowing down. It’s about bringing back the simple joy of looking forward to the post, whether for yourself or someone you love.
Thank you for being part of this. It truly means a lot to us.
Laurens & Amy
Founders of Kindred Letters

£9.99 per month (or £99 for the year). That's less than a coffee date every month, but with far more intrigue and romance!

You can cancel whenever you wish.
Any letters you’ve already received, digital or by post, are yours to keep. We believe in stories without pressure, so you’re free to begin or end your journey whenever you choose.
How long does it last?
Each arc is a year-long story, told through 24 letters. Twice a month you'll receive another piece of the puzzle, drawing you deeper into the world until the very last page.
Can I gift this to someone else?
Yes, and what a gift it is! Each envelope feels like a secret waiting to be opened, perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or 'just because'. Simply enter the recipient’s delivery address at checkout.
When does my story begin?
Within two weeks, the first physical envelope arrives, wax sealed and full of mystery. Then, every two weeks, another follows… carrying new secrets, scandals, and confessions from the characters you’ve come to know.
