Hello!Lucky & Egg Press Pen Pal Giveaway
Remember how good it feels to write and receive letters.To make new friends at summer camp and stay pen pals through out the year? Nothing beats the feeling of finding a handwritten letter in the mailbox. To celebrate our new partnership with Egg Press and remind everyone how awesome it is to send and receive mail we decided to throw a fun little giveaway that revolves around one of our favorite things --- snail mail! We've been sending letters back and forth all summer with Egg Press and it has been such a treat to find sweet packages alongside our bills and junk mail.
Here's how it works! To enter to win simply comment on this blog post or Egg Press's blog post about this contest and tell us your dream pen pal. It can be anyone, living or dead. Jack Kérouac, your Grandma, a Buddhist monk. For an additional entry, post a mail-themed photo on Instagram tagging us at @helloluckycards and @eggpress and using hashtag #LetterpressMailLove.
We'll have three lucky winners for this giveaway, below is what they'll receive.
Grand Prize: Hello!Lucky and Egg Press will be your pen pal for a year. You'll receive fun mail every other month which might include things like cards (big surprise, right?), recipes, chocolates, pens, seeds and more! There’s no obligation to write back, but we would love to get to know you better.
Second Prize: A years worth of cards from Egg Press and Hello!Lucky, 24 cards total!
Third Prize: 4-5 of our founder's favorite pens. And believe me, these ladies know pens!
You have until August 29th to enter to win, we'll announce all the winners on our blog. Happy letter writing!
Lucky Friday #19, Belated Birthday Card
Hello all you lucky folks out there! This is the nineteenth edition of our Lucky Friday Giveaway! Each Friday we feature one of our letterpress cards. We’ll choose THREE LUCKY WINNERS to get a free card. Post a comment by 12 p.m. PST the following Thursday, and we’ll announce the winners on the following Friday!
The three winners from last week are (drum roll, please):
Melissa, Cozette and Addie!
We’ll contact you early next week to arrange sending your Under the Sea card.
Now for this week’s edition:
Design: Belated Birthday
Artist: Eunice Moyle
Inspiration: Some things just take a little longer, no? But it's worth it!
Who to send it to: Many will admit to being a little sluggish when it comes to sending snail mail, so send it to a friend who you might have left behind on the snail trail.
Ideas we scrapped in favor of this one: For a while we had bees on the brain. “To Bee or not to Bee-lated,” with a harried, flustered postal carrier bee was a clunker.
Favorite detail: The back of the card is cute in an ant-ique kind of way. (see below!)
Why letterpress? Pressmen are busy as bees setting type with coppers, brasses and slugs! (ooh, pardon for being SO letterpresoteric)
Don’t forget to post your comment and check back next week, same time, same stationery (; D), to see if you’ve won!
