A year of letters, memories, and connection between grandparents and grandchildren from the USPS.

The official USPS Dear Grandchild: A Year of Letters, Cards, and Memories from Your Grandparent gives grandparents everything they need to stay connected with their grandchildren throughout the year while preserving the stories and memories that make their family unique.

This kit includes 12 beautifully designed cards for occasions throughout the year, from birthdays and holidays to milestones like the first day of school. Each card includes a thoughtful writing prompt that encourages grandparents to share a memory, story, or piece of family history. Envelopes and stickers for decorating are also included.

A keepsake booklet offers even more prompts for grandparents to record their life stories, including where they grew up, their family tree, childhood memories, family traditions, and early memories of their grandchild’s parent.

More than a set of greeting cards or a grandparent memory journal, Dear Grandchild combines letter writing, family history, and storytelling to create something grandchildren can keep. The letters and booklet become a personal record of a grandparent’s life, written in their own words and handwriting.

Perfect as a gift for grandparents, new grandparents, long-distance grandparents, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthdays, Grandparents Day, or anyone looking for a meaningful way to preserve family memories and strengthen the bond between grandparents and grandchildren.
