The Message in a Bottle

Six emails in, you're officially shipwrecked.

A corked glass bottle with your note rolled, tied and sealed inside, packed in sand-coloured shred so it feels like it washed up. They have to work the cork out and unroll the paper to read you, which is thirty seconds of undivided attention no inbox will ever give you. It stays on the windowsill long after the meeting.

Your campaign

We handwrite exactly this — edit anything.

Here is the note we would send with The Message in a Bottle, already written. Change a word or rewrite the lot — what you leave in the box is what goes on the card, in real ink. Set the number of parcels in the order box and a row appears for each person.

How should it be made?

Same price either way. It is the same parcel and the same object — all that changes is how the words get onto the paper.

How should the card read?

Your name as it should appear at the bottom of every card. Leave it blank and we will ask you for it before anything is written.

On the card — for recipient 1

Priya — six emails in, I am officially shipwrecked, so I have resorted to the classic method. You have already worked harder for this note than any inbox would make you, so I will keep it short: I think we could be genuinely useful to Sample Co. Worth fifteen minutes next week? I will stop washing up on your desk either way. — [sender_name]

Sample details shown until you type a name. Written in ink by hand, so the finished card will not be letter-perfect to this. That is rather the point.

Who is getting it?

1 parcel

Names and companies are optional here — they are what the merge fields swap in, so it is worth adding them if you have them. The postal addresses come from the list you upload straight after checkout.

    Showing on the card

    Gets the shared message above, with their name and their company merged in.

Either way, we confirm the person and the delivery address before anything is posted. That part is included, and always will be.

What the price includes

  • Tracked postage

    Every parcel goes tracked, and we tell you the day it lands so your call or email arrives the same morning.

  • A written message

    Your note, handwritten in real ink on card. We will tighten the wording for you if you would like us to.

  • Free resend on failed delivery

    If it does not get there, we make another one and send it again at our cost. No claim form, no argument.

  • Sourcing, making and packing

    We buy the object, personalise it, pack it so it survives the post, and address it by hand.

  • Address checking, included

    Before anything is posted we confirm the person and the delivery address. Checking that somebody still works where you think they do is the job, not an extra — so it is in the price, not on the bill.
