How to Make a Portable Letter Writing Kit

Please note this post may include affiliate links. For more information,  read my disclosure policy here .

Today I’m excited to introduce you to Ellen from createinthechaos.com . She has been following along with my different letter writing and card making posts and asked if she could share her own idea about a portable letter writing kit. I absolutely love the idea and know that you will too.

I’ve kind of fallen in love with Jennie’s blog here. As much as I love my life, with three boys, being full of Nerf gun fights, Lego building, and messy chaos, I like being able to enjoy girly things sometimes. I love coming to Little Girl Designs to get my dose of creative, beautiful, and girly fun.

Some of Jennie’s posts that have inspired me the most are the ones about letter writing and snail mail. I’ve loved making cards since I was little. My mom would often buy lots of fun scrapbooking supplies, and I would come up with creative cards and figure out how to make my own envelopes.

As life has gotten busy (three boys, remember?), things like card making and note writing have fallen by the wayside. While I still enjoy making cards for birthdays, I rarely spend time to make them and to write notes to people like I used to do.

We already had some family out of state. And last year, after living 10 minutes away for the last few years, my brother-in-law’s family moved out of state as well. My boys have missed having some of their wonderful cousins so close.

Jennie’s posts really inspired me to want to write more letters and do some fun things with snail mail. As nice as it is exchanging cute emails with my dear nieces and nephew, there is something special about getting a physical piece of mail.

I wanted to start writing more letters with my boys. But, as I’m sure is the same with most of you, my life can get busy. And as much as I had good intentions of writing a letter, it often would slip my mind. Or when I would think about writing, it was at a time when I didn’t want to dig out all my supplies just to have my two year old dump them everywhere. SO, I came up with a way to write letters more easily and conveniently.

I’m big on keeping things simple so I made something portable that had everything I needed to write and prepare a letter. Today I’m going to show you how to put together your own portable letter writing kit that you can easily slip into your purse.

Portable Storage

So what’s the perfect size to fit into your purse? I bought a mini folder organizer from Target for $1 a while back. It’s just big enough to hold all the supplies you might need to write a letter or note and it has dividers to keep everything separate.

Cards & Envelopes

If you enjoy making cards, you could make a big batch to keep in your kit. You can also purchase a set of cards and envelopes or print some off from online. Jennie has some beautiful printable watercolor cards I love and plan on using for myself.

Pick some good pens that you enjoy writing with. Keep a backup in your kit for when one runs out of ink. I particularly love my Pigma Micron pens for writing letters – they are high quality pens that write beautifully.

These are often overlooked since we use email and pay our bills online. I usually buy my stamps from Costco because it’s convenient and I don’t have to worry about running out. You can also buy them online at the USPS site.

I’m trying to improve my hand lettering, but sometimes it’s nice to have a decorative return label ready to go. You can create your own in a word processing program or purchase a customized set online.

Just writing a simple note can be a great way to encourage someone and lift them up. But if you can, keep a few $5 gift cards to Starbucks or similar places in your kit. Slip one of these into a note or letter for a little something extra special. (Just don’t be tempted to use them up yourself!)

Though my boys can’t write notes to people yet, they enjoy sitting with me and making cute drawings to send along, too. A few supplies for them can fit easily into the kit as well.

When you put together a letter writing kit, you can write a letter when you only have a few minutes. Instead of searching for supplies each time, you can use that time to actually write. And with a kit this size, you can even do it on the go.

I hope putting a letter writing kit together helps you as much as it has helped me!

The Art of Letter Writing

In today’s digital age, letter writing may seem like a lost art. However, the power of a well-crafted message can still hold great meaning and significance. Whether it’s a heartfelt thank you note, a thoughtful invitation, or a professional business letter, the way you express yourself in writing can have a lasting impact on the recipient. Crafting the perfect message requires a combination of creativity, attention to detail, and understanding your audience. From choosing the right words to selecting the appropriate tone, every aspect of your letter can convey your message in a unique and powerful way. In this guide, we’ll explore the art of letter writing and provide you with tips and insights on how to create messages that are both meaningful and impactful. So whether you’re a seasoned writer or just starting out, this guide will help you master the art of letter writing and create messages that leave a lasting impression.

The History of Letter Writing

Letter writing has been around for centuries, with records of ancient writings dating back to the Roman Empire and ancient civilizations such as Egypt and Mesopotamia. Throughout history, letter writing has served as a way for people to communicate with one another and express their thoughts and feelings in a tangible form. In the Middle Ages, letter writing was a way for people to communicate with each other, as well as with their loved ones who were far away. It was a way to express feelings, share news, and keep in touch. In the 18th and 19th centuries, letter writing became an art form, with people spending hours crafting elaborate letters filled with poetry, stories, and personal anecdotes. In the 20th century, letter writing became more casual, but it remained an important part of everyday life. From love letters to business correspondence, letter writing has evolved over time but still holds an important place in our society today.

The History of Letter Writing

Why letter writing is still relevant today

In today’s digital age, letter writing has become somewhat of a lost art. With instant messaging, email, and social media, it’s easier than ever to communicate with others without ever putting pen to paper. But there’s something special and meaningful about receiving a handwritten letter that can’t be replicated by digital communication and it provides a much-needed break from the digital world.

Letter writing allows us to slow down and reflect on our thoughts and feelings. Letter writing is also a more personal and intimate form of communication than digital communication. It shows that we have taken the time to think about the person we are writing to and to craft a message that is tailored specifically to them. In addition, letters can be kept and treasured for years to come, making them a tangible reminder of a special moment or relationship.

The benefits of writing letters in the digital age

There are many benefits to writing letters that can’t be replicated by digital communication.

First, letter writing allows us to express ourselves in a more creative and personal way. By using different writing tools, stationery, and special touches, we can create a letter that is uniquely ours and reflects our personality and style.

Second, letter writing allows us to create a lasting connection with the recipient. Unlike digital communication, which can be deleted and forgotten, a handwritten letter is something that can be kept and treasured for years to come. It’s a tangible reminder of the relationship and connection we share with the recipient.

Finally, letter writing allows us to slow down and reflect on our thoughts and feelings. In a world where everything is fast-paced and instant, letter writing allows us to take a step back and connect with ourselves and others in a more meaningful way.

Additional benefits of letter writing

In addition to the benefits we’ve already discussed, there are many other reasons why letter writing is a valuable and worthwhile pursuit.

First, letter writing can be therapeutic and healing. It allows us to express our emotions and thoughts in a safe and private way, which can be a helpful tool in managing stress and anxiety.

Second, letter writing can improve our communication skills. By practicing the art of letter writing, we can become better at expressing ourselves in all forms of communication, including verbal and digital.

Finally, letter writing can be a fun and enjoyable hobby. It allows us to explore our creativity and imagination and to connect with others in a meaningful and fulfilling way.

Additional benefits of writing letters

How to Get Started with Letter Writing

Getting started with letter writing is easy. All you need is a pen, paper, and a few minutes of quiet time. Start by choosing someone you would like to write to. It could be a friend, family member, or even a stranger. Next, think about what you would like to say. It could be a simple hello, a thank you, or a longer message expressing your thoughts and feelings. Once you have your message, start writing. Don’t worry too much about grammar or punctuation – the most important thing is to write from the heart.

Choosing the right stationery and writing tools

When it comes to letter writing, the stationery and writing tools you choose can make a big difference. By selecting high-quality paper, pens, and other writing tools, you can create a letter that is both beautiful and impactful.

When choosing stationery, look for paper that is thick and high-quality, with a texture that feels good to the touch. Consider using colored or patterned paper to add a pop of personality and style to your letter.

When it comes to pens, choose one that feels comfortable in your hand and writes smoothly. Consider using different colors of ink to add interest and variety to your letter.

Finally, don’t forget about other special touches, such as stickers, stamps, or wax seals. These small details can add a lot of personality and charm to your letter.

How to Get Started Writing Letters

Letter Writing Ideas for Different Occasions

Not all letters are created equal. Depending on the occasion, the tone and style of your letter may need to vary. For example, a thank you note should be warm, heartfelt, and concise, while a love letter may be more poetic and romantic. When writing a professional business letter, on the other hand, you’ll need to be more formal and concise while still conveying your message effectively.

When it comes to writing letters, it’s important to keep in mind the purpose of your message and the audience you’ll be communicating with. By tailoring your message to the occasion and the recipient, you can create a letter that is both appropriate and impactful.

Here are a few ideas for different types of letters:

  • Love letters: Express your feelings to your significant other in a romantic and heartfelt way.
  • Thank-you notes: Show your appreciation for someone’s kindness or generosity.
  • Condolence letters: Offer your sympathy and support to someone who has recently experienced a loss.
  • Friendship letters: Catch up with an old friend or let someone know how much they mean to you.
  • Travel letters: Share your adventures and experiences with loved ones while you’re away.
  • Birthday letters: Write a heartfelt message to someone special on their birthday.
  • Apology letters: Express your remorse and regret for something you’ve done wrong.
  • Business letters: Contact potential employers, clients, or vendors in a professional manner.
  • Gratitude letters: Count your blessings and express your thanks to the people in your life.
  • Encouragement letters: Offer words of support and motivation to someone in need.
  • Farewell letters: Say goodbye to someone special before you part ways.

No matter the occasion, letter writing can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. With some time and creativity, you can create a letter that will be treasured by the recipient for years to come.

Why write letters in the digital age

Tips for Writing a Great Letter

If you want to take your letter writing to the next level, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

  • Be personal: Write as if you are talking directly to the person you are writing to. Use their name and reference specific things that you know about them.
  • Be creative: Add your own personal touches, such as drawings, stickers, or even pressed flowers.
  • Be concise: Keep your letter short and to the point. Don’t ramble on or include unnecessary details.
  • Be sincere: Write from the heart and be honest about your feelings.
  • Be thoughtful: Consider the recipient’s feelings and how they might respond to your letter.
  • Be respectful: Write in a way that is considerate and kind. Avoid being offensive or hurtful.
  • Be timely: Make sure to send your letter in a timely manner.

By following these tips, you can create a letter that will be enjoyed and appreciated by the recipient.

Writing techniques to make your message stand out

When crafting your letter, there are several writing techniques you can use to make your message stand out. These include:

  • Using vivid and descriptive language to paint a picture in the reader’s mind
  • Including anecdotes or stories to add interest and depth to your message
  • Using metaphors or similes to craft vivid descriptions of your thoughts and feelings
  • Using humor or wit to add personality and charm to your message
  • Add visuals such as illustrations, photographs, and other visual elements to add interest to your letter.
  • Incorporate poetry by using poetic language to express your emotions in a more creative and powerful way.

By incorporating these techniques, you can create a letter that is both engaging and impactful.

Tips for Writing a Great Letter

Common mistakes to avoid in letter writing

While there are many things you can do to make your letter stand out, there are also several common mistakes to avoid. These include:

  • Using overly formal language that is stiff and stuffy
  • Being too casual or informal in your writing
  • Focusing on the wrong details and information
  • Not personalizing your message to the recipient
  • Making spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors
  • Ignoring basic letter etiquette, such as addressing a person properly
  • Offending the recipient by using hurtful language

By avoiding these mistakes, you can ensure that your letter will be well-received and appreciated.

Sending and receiving letters – etiquette and guidelines

When it comes to sending and receiving letters, there are several etiquette and guidelines to keep in mind. These include:

  • Addressing the letter properly: Use the recipient’s full name and title, if applicable.
  • Sending a reply in a timely manner: Respond to letters within a reasonable amount of time.
  • Writing legibly: Make sure your writing is neat and easily understandable.
  • Not leaving out any details: Include all relevant information that may be helpful or beneficial.
  • Being courteous and polite: Avoid using offensive language or being overly critical in your message.
  • Not prying for private information: Respect the recipient’s privacy and don’t ask for personal details that they may not want to share.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your letters will be well-received and enjoyed by the recipient.

Letter Writing Ideas for Different Occasions

The Joy of Receiving a Handwritten Letter

Finally, there is nothing quite like the joy of receiving a handwritten letter. In a world where so much communication is digital, receiving a physical letter in the mail can be a pleasant surprise. It shows that someone has taken the time to think about you and to craft a message that is personal and meaningful. Handwritten letters can also be kept and treasured for years to come, serving as a tangible reminder of a special moment or relationship.

In conclusion, letter writing is a lost art that is still relevant in the digital age. It provides a much-needed break from the fast-paced world of digital communication and allows us to connect with others on a more personal and intimate level. Whether you’re writing a love letter, a thank-you note, or a simple hello to a friend, there’s something deeply satisfying about putting pen to paper and crafting a message that is entirely your own. So, why not take a break from your devices and rediscover the lost art of letter writing?

Example prompts to try with Microsoft Copilot with Graph-grounded chat

Experience the power of Get started with Microsoft Copilot with Graph-grounded chat  (formerly named Microsoft 365 Chat). See how much time you can save and how much more you can get done. Use Microsoft Copilot to catch up, create content, and ask questions. This article provides several example prompts you can try.

Tip:  When you’re giving Copilot instructions, you can direct it to specific work content by using the forward slash key (“/”), then typing the name of a file, person, or meeting.  If you write a prompt and don’t reference a specific file, person, or meeting, Copilot will determine the best source of data for its response, including all your work content.

Synthesize large amounts of data into simple, consumable responses and catch up on things quickly. Here are some examples:

You've been on vacation now you're back. You need to find out what's going on with Project X. Find the latest about Project X. What's the current timeline? When are deliverables due?

You've just joined a new team and you're trying to ramp up on recent activities. Summarize team communications over the last 30 days. What are the team's priorities? 

There's been a recent change in how your team is tracking work. Find information about the new way our team is tracking work. Include email communications and points of contact for questions.

Create content

Brainstorm ideas and draft new content based on information at work. Here are some examples:

You want to draft a one-page description of a new project (let's call it Project Foo) that's just about to kick off at work. Using information in file1, file2, and file3, write a one-page description of Project Foo. Write it so non-technical people can understand what the project is about and when it's scheduled to be completed.

You're preparing an email to invite customers to attend an upcoming conference and visit your company's booth. Using information in Document Z, write a fun, catchy email inviting our customers to come see us at our booth during next month's conference.

You want to plan a morale event for your team. List 3-5 ideas for group activities in the Seattle area that would be suitable for my team. Include approximate cost and time estimates. 

Ask questions

Find information and get answers quickly, even if you can't remember where the information you need is or how it was shared. Here are some examples:

You need to know what's left in the budget for supplies. How much did we spend on supplies for Project Foo?  How much budget do we have left for Project Foo?

Your team received customer feedback. You want to identify the top things your team should address. Review the feedback we received from customers via email last week. What are the top three issues we should address?
