When we travel, the girls all look for shirts or sweatshirts as reminders of the places they’ve visited. I look for postcards and stickers. They’re usually cheaper, you can do more with them and in general, you won’t spend more than a couple of bucks on them. When Google’s Local Guides sent me a coupon code for a free postcard from mypostcard.com I definitely had to give it a try.

The nice thing is that you can use the site or the app (on android or iOS) to create and send your post cards. You simply download the app, sign in or create an account (you can use your Google or Facebook account to create or sign in) and design your card. The prices start around 1.99 (that includes shipping) but there are a couple of options that could increase the price. So for the cost of the stamp plus a postcard, you can send a completely custom card from wherever you are. This is great for someone who wants to send a post card or remember a specific point in time.

They do appear to mail the postcards via standard first class USPS mail, which is how you’d be mailing them if you bought a traditional postcard and stamp and mailed it yourself. Anyone with some good image skills could create some pretty cool postcards on their phones and have some pretty unique reminders of their trips.
