Now reserving for 2024! Surprise your loved one (or treat yourself) to one of our special literary postboxes for the holiday season. These boxes make a magical gift for those who love great books, independent publishers, and quality treats from local makers. We tailor every box for the recipient.
Every box includes the following:
A gift card to Upstart & Crow
A curated book selection based on your recipient’s tastes
Beautiful body products, such as soaps and salves
Sumptuous chocolates and other comestibles
Other literary surprises based on tastes and desires
Each recipient receives their own postbox number and corresponding secret code, which is required to open their box. They are then invited to our studio on Granville Island to find their special box amidst our bank of rescued, 20th-century apartment mailboxes.
Further details about how it works:
Click the button below to reserve a box. Choose from two price points: $150 or $250 (the $250 option is a bit fuller, with more specialty items). We’ll ask you for some basic information about the recipient. We’ll provide an electronic card you can give to your recipient announcing the gift that explains how their postbox can be opened. We will notify you when the postbox is ready.
Please note: Postboxes will be ready starting Friday, Dec. 20. If you need your postbox before then, please email us and we will get you sorted. Please also note, we will be closed from Monday, Dec. 30 to Friday, Jan. 3 for a short holiday break.
We can’t wait to surprise your recipient! Thank you for choosing to support locally. Your purchase helps us to continue our literary programming and community initiatives.
