What is your favorite postcard box?

My favourite is this Vincent van Gogh box I bought at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. :sunflower: :stars: :heart_eyes:

This box is my favorite too…

I love The New Yorker box for two reasons: first the pictures are great, funny, clever, special… and second there are so many different themes in the images, that you always have the right card for everyone, for dog-lovers, cat-lovers, people who love NYC, book-lovers, fashionistas, people who like humurous stuff, lovers, children, artist or art lovers, sport freaks etc…

I have many boxes, but I think these two are my favorites. It’s hard to send out cards from these boxes because I want to keep them :smiling_face:

The artist is local to me, I met her once. I don’t have her postcard box yet, though. I should buy it!

One of my favorite boxed sets is this one. Some of the designs are really interesting. If someone says they like xyz bird or animal, you might find one in here that shows the skeleton and internal organs of the critter.

My most favorite box is - Game of Thrones: The Postcard Collection

I have bought a box 3 months ago but only 2 cards were sent from the box :laughing:
I am waiting for getting address for another GoT fan. Also I need to buy another box for my collection. I am a GoT fan :grin:

Another boxes from which I would love to receive cards are

  • Anatomicum
  • Botanicum
  • Roses

I have this one, I can remember reading quite a few of them in the late 1960s. The ‘Something to do’ book was an absolute favourite that kept me busy during school holidays

Yes, I know what you mean. I have a Ladybird books box that someone gave me years ago, so I do use that as many of the cards are classically British. But since this was published there are now so many other boxes available.
Like you, I love to receive a card clearly from where the sender is.

I love the Pantone box! The simplicity of the design is so attractive. But I hear what you’re saying and I rarely send these because I worry that people might find them boring :grinning:

Yes, I’m surprised people ask for these cards as they must keep getting duplicates!

There’s actually a separate postcard book thread.

The Pantone cards are great for the Color round Robin and for using as a base to make your own cards, especially stickerbombing. I got a box of Polaroid photos when I started Postcrossing, two each of fifty images. I split it with someone else who was just starting. I also love the Bibliophile box. I’ve sent about half out and received a few back. With 800,000 of us trading cards, I don’t worry about repeats.

This is my favourite one. Just $5 for 30 postcards. Going to order on Black Friday because possible more discounts.

We’ve rounded up some of the boxes mentioned in this topic on this blog post:

This time, I decided to include not just boxes of 100 postcards, but 50 as well — I think they’re a bit more practical for most people, as sometimes it gets harder to use 100 postcards on the same topic. :sweat_smile:

Oh my… why did I read this topic :see_no_evil: I think I need to write to Santa Claus :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
I just got Lego - Still life with bricks, I love it!
But I need, just need that National parks- box :smiley:

Awww, yesterday I received the most amazing postcardbox ever! It’s “The Wild Cards”, 100 illustrations by Jackie Morris from Robert Macfarlane’s and her wonderful books “The Lost Words” and “The Lost Spells”. I’m very much looking forward to send these gorgeous cards, but it will be difficult to take farewell of them.
