A real letter from the stars
Every paper letter is numbered and dated, and comes with an order document from the Polaris Terminal: wax seal, postmark, gold stars and the child's own MilkyCode. Digital letters arrive as an illustrated page to print at home.
A play or a post office for your party
Birthday, classroom or library event: stage a fairy-tale play or run a galactic post office. Order a package of letters for the children, and every child gets their own letter at the event, following the scenario.
- 6 personal letters in one mailed package, one for each child by name: $92
- 7 to 10 children: $15 for each extra letter. More than 10? Write to us.

Questions parents ask
What do I need to give at checkout?
The child's first name, age, and a short note: a pet, a favorite thing, something they did recently. For event packages, the children's names and a few words about the event. For mailed items, the shipping address.
How fast will it arrive?
Digital letters arrive by email in 4–5 days. Paper letters are packed in 3 business days and sent by USPS, so most arrive in about 8 days. For now we mail only to US addresses. Please order event packages at least 2 weeks before your event.
What is a MilkyCode?
Every child who gets a letter receives a personal MilkyCode: their galactic address, printed on each letter. Soon this site will have a mail register where you can enter a MilkyCode and see all the letters a child has received from the stars and sent back. Keep the code safe; each new letter is added to the same address.
Can I get a refund?
If anything arrives damaged or wrong, we reprint or refund it, your choice. Because every item is personalized, we can't accept returns for a change of mind once it's been prepared. Cancel within 12 hours of ordering for a full refund.
Is my child's information private?
We use it only to make and send your order and never share or sell it. Payments are handled by Stripe; we never see your card number.
