What started on July 14th, 2005 as a simple idea — to connect people through postcards — has grown into a vibrant, welcoming community that spans the globe. Over the past 20 years, millions of postcards have crossed oceans and borders, carrying stories, smiles, and small moments of kindness between strangers.

At its heart, Postcrossing is a celebration of connection, proving that even in a fast-paced and digital world, a handwritten message and a simple postcard can make someone’s day a little brighter. None of this would be possible without you, the incredible community who keeps those mailboxes busy and hearts full. Thank you for being part of this journey! 💙❤️

Postcrossing's 20th Anniversary Bundle

To celebrate Postcrossing’s 20th anniversary, we’re bringing back the very first postcard ever sent through the project — the iconic PT-1, featuring three majestic lighthouses against bright blue skies. This commemorative edition stays true to the original front and now includes a specially designed back explaining its significance in Postcrossing’s history, making it a tribute to the journey that started in 2005 with just one postcard.

To make things even more festive, the bundle also includes a stampsheet of cinderella stamps (red decorative stamps with the Postcrossing "P" and a yellow "20”), designed just for the occasion. They’re not valid for postage, but they’re perfect for decorating your cards!

Packs of 20 postcards with 20 cinderella stamps are available in the Postcrossing shop in limited quantities. You can read more about this special Anniversary Bundle on the Postcrossing blog.

Oh no…! It looks like we seriously underestimated everyone’s enthusiasm for this anniversary bundle and they have already sold out! 😱 We’re already preparing more of them, and they should be available on the shop in the coming weeks. We will post updates here.
