The Monthly Letter

from my journal to your mailbox.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how everything feels a little too fast and a little too temporary lately.

You see something, maybe save it, and then it’s lost on your phone. Scrolled past, buried, or just forgotten.

There’s nothing to hold onto.

I have been obsessed with the idea of letters and the simple act of having something physical that you can keep and doesn’t disappear when you close a tab.

It feels like we’ve lost that a little. The habit of writing things down, sending them, and keeping them. The handwritten letter used to be such a normal way to connect and now it’s almost nonexistent.

So I guess this is my way of bringing a small part of that back.

Close to Home is a monthly letter from my journal sent to your mailbox.

It’s not meant to be perfect or overly curated. It’s just something real from that month that I've put into words and want to share with you. Some months it might feel more reflective, other months it might be simple or even a little messy. That’s kind of the point.

Each letter also comes with a few small additions from that month. Things I’ve been reading, collecting, or feel are worthy to be shared. Nothing excessive, just a few pieces that feel connected to that time.

I like the idea that over time, you’ll end up with a stack of these. Something you can tie together with string and keep under your bed. Maybe dust them off a few years from now and be reminded of where you were at this time.

If this feels like something you’d want to receive, you can join below.

I’ll write to you at the end of the month.

all the love always,

Steph

Details

What will I receive each month?

A copied handwritten letter from my journal, a journal prompt to spark creativity, plus a few small additions from that month such as quotes I've been loving, things I’ve been reading, postcards, bookmarks... the possibilities are endless! (actually the possibilities are limited to what I can fit in an envelope)

When are letters sent?

Letters are mailed at the end of each month.

When will I get my letter?

Your first letter will be included in the next monthly send. (For example, if you sign up in May, your first letter will be sent at the end of June.) All letters are shipped out on the last day of the month.

US delivery is usually 3–8 days. International delivery can take around 2–6 weeks.

The slower pace adds to the experience but if something seems off, you can always reach out via email. hello@closetohomeletters.com

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time.

After you sign up, you’ll have access to your account where you can manage your subscription.

To cancel:

  • Log into your account using the email you signed up with
  • Go to your order
  • Click “Manage subscription”
  • Select “Cancel subscription”

Once you cancel, you won’t be charged again and your next letter won’t be sent.

Is my letter handwritten?

Each letter is handwritten by me, then scanned and printed so I can send the same one to everyone.

Who is this for?

For anyone who misses the joy of repeatedly checking the mailbox and having something real to hold onto.

Who is my letter from?

From me, Steph! Hi I’m the one behind Close to Home. I write each letter from my journal and send it out each month.

If you want to keep up with me digitally as well my social media handles are all @stephbohrer

Can I gift the subscription to someone else?

Yes
You can sign up using their name and mailing address at checkout, and I’ll send the letters directly to them each month.
