A letter for no reason at all.
No occasion. That’s the point. Write the letter, add the photos, and a film if there’s one to send, so they can hear you say it. Pay once and send the link. They open it on their screen, like the real thing.
Just because envelope: what goes inside
A letter
No occasion, so no script. Tell them one thing you noticed about them this week.
Dear Tom, You were kind to the man at the bus stop. I saw.
A postcard
A photo you took and never sent. There’s always one.
This made me think of you. No idea why.
A film
Short is fine. The surprise does the work.

How it works
Fill the envelope with a letter, postcards and a film — any mix, up to ten pieces, and one price for the whole envelope by what's inside. Pay once, by card. Send the link now, or keep it sealed until the day: no app to install, it opens on any phone, and it's kept for good.
Just because envelope questions
Isn’t a letter a bit much for no reason?
That’s the point of it. A long letter on a birthday is expected; one on a Wednesday is the one they keep.
How long should it be?
As long as it needs to be. Three lines is a note, three paragraphs is a letter, and both are fine.
How much does it cost?
$1.29 for letters and postcards, $5 with a film. One price for the whole envelope, up to ten pieces, paid once by card through Stripe. No subscription.
Do they need an app?
No. One link, opened in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer. They tap the seal and the envelope opens.
When should I send it?
Whenever you like. Send the link straight away, or send it now and set the day and time it opens — until then they’ll see the sealed envelope and a countdown.
Can I change it after I’ve paid?
Until they open it, yes. Sign in with the email you paid with and change what’s inside; the link stays the same. You can’t add anything that costs more than you paid, and once they’ve opened it, it stays as it is.
How long does it last?
For good. They can open it as many times as they like. A film is kept for a year after it’s first opened, and they can save their own copy.
