I know some folks prefer to purchase their postcards individually, but I like postcard boxes because I can get a bunch of postcards on similar themes at an economical price. My favorite postcard box is probably the one I’ve paid the most for so far: The 100 Postcards: Animals by Higuchi Yuko which I found at a Japanese bookshop. It’s great art that’s both cute and whimsical. And it genuinely makes me feel happy sending these out because I get to share some great art with a stranger.
Those photos are amazing.

Alas, I only have two cards left
Maybe I should buy the box a second time so that I can send the cards again…
And here’s another box I have on my wishlist (but I’ve not seen the cards in real, so I can’t tell about the quality or how many not so nice cards are in the box): Fantastically Great Women 100 Postcards
edit: it’s 50 different cards, so every card has 2 copies.
I love LEGO. Ever since I was a child. This box brings together my love of LEGO, postcards, colours, art, photography and collages all at the same time.
I love the Higuchi Yuko cards! I happened to order Cats & Other Creatures recently, and the cards are absolutely stunning. They are quite large and exceed USPS parameters for what is considered a “postcard” (i.e., they would require 55¢ instead of 35¢ if sent within the country), but if sending outside the US, the postage is the same for postcards and standard letters.
(The set @syaffolee mentioned happens to be at the top of my birthday/Christmas list that I just sent to my family. )
Rock ‘n’ Roll Cats by Satoru Tsuda is another that I cannot stop sending to anyone who is remotely interested in goofy cats.
I have a Postcards from Puffin-box. In the box are 100 cards with covers of children’s books. I have a little collection of classic English children’s books, so when I saw this box I just had to have it. Not all cards will be send, though! Some I will keep to myself, as the book keeps a special place in my heart.
which can be bought at The Victoria and Albert Museum’s webshop. I don’t use these a lot for postcrossing though, as many people prefer to receive something related to the country I’m sending from (Denmark).
I love the cards in this box! I’m getting it right away. Always nice with a chance to brag about what is probably the best invention to come out of your home country
I adore these art cards about books and authors. Most of them are stacks of books, some are interesting libraries, authors’ studios, and a few other things. I love them so much it’s very difficult to send them out to other people.
