Why postcards are still great

As more people are using social media to stay in touch, postcards are mostly a thing of the past, but that doesn’t mean you should give up on them altogether. Even if you no longer feel like sending them to your loved ones, there are a few reasons why you should consider mailing them to yourself.

Cheap Souvenir

Why spend a fortune on other expensive souvenirs during your travels, when you can get a plain, old postcard instead? Stamps will cost you a little bit extra, but even with that added expense, postcards are still one of the cheapest souvenirs on the market.

Great Memories

The best thing about postcards is that they’re not just pretty pictures. They’re also a storytelling device, and it’s up to you to tell the story of your choosing. The space on your postcard may be limited, but it allows you to preserve amazing memories in a meaningful way.

Going Back in Time

There’s something truly special about waiting for your postcard to arrive, especially after you come home from your trip. You’ll miss the place that you just left and wish that you could go back. Once your postcard arrives, it will take you back in time and let you relive all the great memories all over again.
