Mail for Snails

Start Off Your Writing Set

Let’s dive right in: these are some of my essentials for snail mail writing. Get them to glam up your letters. 👏

Tombow Dual Brush Pen Art Marker, N15 - This gem is under $5! I’m obsessed with this dual-sided brush. I often use it to address letters, using the flexible side to write the name in cursive and follow with the address in the thicker side to make sure it’s actually legible enough for the post office.

Pilot Precise V5 Stick Rolling Ball Pens, Extra Fine Point - These pens just you an effortlessly beautiful result. As the name tells you, it’s extremely fine, so be gentle with how you write.

Pen + Gear Fine Point Marker 20CT Assorted Color - This Walmart find is a straight up BARGAIN. I was really impressed with how neatly they write, and for $4? Bye. Order them immediately.

Crayola Washable Super Tips Markers - I feel like this is almost too obvious to mention, but I digress. Go in with these to put some emphasis on word you may have written with the fine markers. It’s super simple, but I always feel like it jazzes up letters.

Paper Mate Flair Felt Tip Pens, Medium Point - These are my holy grail, favorite pen in the WORLD. I know pens aren’t that serious, but I have never found one comparable. They are smooth, silky, pretty, etc., whichever positive adjective you like.

I’ve included my video, if you’re interested in seeing how some of these products actually write. Let me know if you have any suggestions for writing utensils!
