Digital postcards (and the e-card alternatives worth sending)
A good postcard says three things: where you are, that you thought of them, and one small detail only they would get. These guides cover all three, from what to write on the back to sending a “Greetings from…” game they can play on their phone, complete with chip-thieving seagulls and a postcard ending with your message on the back.
