Congrats on finding penpals and wanting to write others from all over the world! Now, I know writing penpals is the super easy part because it takes a simple piece of paper or stationery like from The Seasonal Pages. But, now you think what can I send besides a letter -- have no fear, The Seasonal Pages has created a list of different things that you can send your penpals. Majority of the items listed below are free but some can be cute items that you can find for a great price if you had a little funds.
