Bringing Back The Penpal – A Gift for Grandparents

Introducing Love From Afar Pen Pal

By Monica Rohleder December 5, 2018

It's the gift giving season and if you’re anything like me, you are still trying to figure out what your kid’s want for the Holidays not to mention everyone else in the family. I’ve been looking for unique gifts that will bring a sense of wonder, joy and activity, not just the typical toy or gift card. And for my parents and my mother-in-law, I have found a special gift that will bring them more time with their grandchildren and smiles for days.  

Meet Love From Afar Pen Pal, a new and exciting letter service designed to make a difference, connect families and introduce old-fashioned letter writing but with a new and modern twist.  Love From Afar gives grandparents a great way to create a pen pal relationship with their grandchildren while bringing back the lost art of giving and receiving mail. 

Right now, you can get a Holiday special 4-pack which will include one extra letter, all to be sent by grandparents. A gift card will be sent to the email address you choose and the recipient will start the letter sending process. They will be prompted to choose a letter template to fit their grandchild’s interests and then they will be asked to customize their letter adding a personal message for their grandchild. A discount code will be provided that can be used at check out and then the letter will arrive via US mail inside an envelope covered with fun graphics. A themed worksheet and self-addressed envelope will be included in the package.

Founder DJ Reed created Love From Afar because so many young kids live far away from their grandparents. “I love letters and the permanency of them. So many families live far apart these days so I wanted to create a fun and whimsical way to connect.  Love From Afar Pen Pal is the letter service to do this.”  

After the first letter is sent, another email is sent to the recipient 60 days later and the process begins again. It’s a fun way to create a magical experience between loved ones especially with children who love receiving letters in the mail. 

To purchase the $39, 4-letter pen pal pack which will include a 5th letter at no additional charge, you can visit the following link: https://lovefromafarpenpal.com/products/test-4-pack . Once you have purchased the gift pack, a downloadable gift certificate will be available to send to the recipient. 

Enjoy the Holidays and start sending some mail.
