Send wisdom.
Not swag.
A tumbler with your logo on it is not a thank-you. This is.
Twenty books or two hundred. One title for the whole list, or a different one for every person. Your note goes into every copy in real fountain-pen ink, your business card sits on the facing page, and each one ships boxed in tissue.
- — Minimum 20 recipients per program
- — Custom packaging: your colors outside, your card inside
- — One list, one invoice, tracked delivery on every copy
Programs start at 20 recipients.
Under twenty, you don’t need a program — you need a book and a note, and that takes about four minutes on the regular site. Same ink, same box, same handwriting. Send a single book →
Swag gets a drawer.
A book gets a shelf.
Corporate gifting usually means merchandise — something with a logo on it, chosen for two hundred people and beloved by none. A book is the opposite move. It’s the one gift that carries an idea, and the note in the front is where you say why you sent it.
A title is a point of view
Sending a new hire the book that shaped how your team actually works says more than a week of onboarding decks. Choose the title and you have already said the thing.
It outlives the quarter
Merch has a half-life measured in weeks. A hardcover with your handwriting in the front of it gets read, lent, quoted and shelved — with your name still attached to it years later.
Handwriting doesn’t scale — that’s the point
Every copy is written out by a person, in real ink, one at a time. Twenty notes or two hundred, none of them are printed and none of them read like a mail merge.
You send us the list. We send back the handwriting.
Tell us the list
Headcount, the occasion, the date it needs to land, and whether it’s one title for everyone or one per person.
We build the shortlist
A handful of titles matched to your people and your point of view — bring your own picks too. You approve before a single book is bought.
We write and pack
Your note in real fountain-pen ink on the flyleaf of every copy, your business card on the facing page, boxed in tissue under a band in your colors.
We ship it out
Tracked, to each recipient’s own address from your spreadsheet — or in one crate to your office to hand out in person. One invoice at the end.
Your brand on the outside.
Your handwriting inside.
- —A belly band or ribbon in your colors, your name set in quiet type
- —Your business card, tucked on the page facing the note
- —One message across the whole list, or a different note for every recipient
- —A card from the team, an event insert, a signed bookplate — if you want one
- —Two hundred home addresses, or one crate to the office for handing out live
- —Never a price, never a receipt, never a plastic mailer
The moments worth more than a gift card
Tell us who you’re sending to.
Fill this out and a real person comes back — usually inside one business day — with a shortlist of titles, a firm per-gift price and a date we can actually hit.
- — No deck, no discovery call unless you want one
- — Nothing is bought until you approve the list
- — 20 recipient minimum, no maximum

The practical bits
How is it priced?
Programs run off the same three levels as the rest of the shop — the Note, the Letter and the Keepsake — each one all-inclusive: the book, the handwriting, the box and tracked shipping. Volume pricing starts above 50 recipients, and you’ll get a firm per-gift number alongside your shortlist.
How long does it take?
Plan on two to three weeks from an approved list to books on desks. Tell us your date in the form and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can hit it — before you commit to anything.
Can you ship to individual home addresses?
Yes, and that’s the usual shape of it. Send a spreadsheet of names and addresses and every person gets their own boxed copy, tracked. US addresses are included; flag international in the form and we’ll quote it.
Can we get one invoice?
One contact, one invoice, PO numbers welcome. Cards are fine too if that’s faster than your AP department.
Your logo will be forgotten.
Your handwriting won’t.
Twenty books or two hundred, every one of them written out by hand and boxed in tissue. Nothing in the box has a price on it.
