There is something so exciting about getting mail the old-fashioned way. Not just an online message in your inbox, but actually peeking into the mailbox to find a handwritten card or letter with beautiful sentiment meant just for you. And think of the joy that feeling can bring to someone else, like members of one Elfster group who are sharing the love and smiles by sending \u201chappy mail\u201d all over the world.<\/p>\n

The Happy Mail Group was started on Facebook a few months ago by Danielle Gallagher, who realized that people were being turned away from another Facebook mail exchange group because that group had reached its membership limit and many were asked to join a waiting list until space was available. Today, Danielle\u2019s group has over 600 members and is growing daily. \u201cI saw a gap in the market and after someone said I should do a group, I jumped at it,\u201d she explains. And kudos to Danielle! We are glad she has that \u201cthe more, the merrier\u201d attitude when it comes to spreading happiness.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a Happy Mail group, we have various people of all age groups from all over the whole U.K. Whilst a lot of us are very crafty (I run a paper cutting business, as well as design colouring books), some just like to send happy mail. Quite a few of our members have an illness or disability of some sort, not able to get out the house, depression, etc. Interacting with others of a like mind and focusing on making someone happy has helped these people to no end,\u201d Danielle adds.\u00a0 To see Danielle\u2019s work, you can check it out here: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/StarPapercuts\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Happy Mail group is currently hosting a September\/October exchange, as well as a holiday secret santa happy mail exchange, with over 200 participants.\u00a0 If you are interested in joining the group, you can find them here:\u00a0 Happy Mail Facebook Group.<\/a>\u00a0 According to Danielle, \u201cWe accept members from everywhere, the more the merrier! We have some Americans, Australians, someone from Austria.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOriginally it was just me and I was sending out all the names and addresses myself, manning who was and wasn\u2019t sending and tracking lost mail,\u201d she explains. \u201cIt soon got too much for me and I took on 3 more administrators. After a month, the group tripled in size and I took on 5 more admins.\u201d<\/p>\n

Danielle says, \u201cThe group has grown that much it\u2019s harder to track who isn\u2019t sending, as if someone doesn\u2019t send then someone doesn\u2019t get a happy mail. We made the decision to move to Elfster to help with that, as it\u2019s all online, it\u2019s easier for me to see who\u2019s paired us and if someone hasn\u2019t received, I\u2019ll be able to check right away.\u201d\"Happy<\/p>\n

Since the group formed last April, they have held four happy mail exchanges, about every 4-6 weeks. \u201cWe all get one address and a first name. We know nothing of the person we are sending to unless we\u2019ve done a little detective work in the group,\u201d Danielle explains. \u201cMembers can send what they want — a letter, card, have a nice day note, etc. Just make someone\u2019s day a bit brighter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMost members will send a parcel containing stationary, something they\u2019ve made, or something to make — decor, sweets, chocolate, tea bags, hot chocolate sachets etc.\u201d she adds. \u201cIt\u2019s fabulous and is something anyone can be involved in. I try to recycle, so anything I get in a parcel that I don\u2019t really need or can\u2019t see myself using, I will pop in my happy mail storage box (I have three full of things to send out) and it will get sent on to someone else who will make use of it. I add books, cds, colouring sheets, pens, pretty paper, fridge magnets, etc. Little quirky collectable things that I think they may like. I always try to add a note with a fact sheet about myself, what I do and my favourite TV programmes that I think they may also like.\u201d<\/p>\n

Danielle asks that before anyone who joins her exchange must commit to sending mail once they have signed up for the exchange.\u00a0 \u201cIf they can\u2019t commit then don\u2019t join,\u201d she cautions. \u201cWe\u2019d rather have them join when they are ready than someone being left out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHappy Mail group is ALWAYS open to members,\u201d Danielle emphasizes.\u201d I don\u2019t have any plans to stop letting people in, as that was the main reason I set up the group. Over the past few months I have watched the group grow, I know most members likes and dislikes and it\u2019s great to build up friendships.\u201d<\/p>\n

Danielle\u2019s commitment to spreading happiness all over the world is the very essence of Elfster. We commend her dedication and are glad to be a part of such a happy endeavor. We look forward to many successful happy mail exchanges for the group.<\/p>\n
