We’ve been stocking these unusual little postcards at Cotes Mill for a while now and I’ve started to see them pop up in lots of different places, so I thought I’d tell you a little more about what Timbergram’s are all about…

Timbergram’s are postcards made from wood! They are such a fun alternative to sending a regular greetings or postcard, plus the designs are really beautiful and they’re definitely something special which you can keep forever. These quirky little things are inspired by the original wooden postcards of the early 1900′s, and yes you can write on them with just a regular biro!

One of the things we love the most about Timbergram is that all of the timber used to make these postcards is sustainably sourced from forests in Eastern Europe. Timbergram work very closely with the charity ‘Tree Aid’ to help plant trees in Africa… every Timbergram sold goes to help this amazing organisation.

You can even create your own personalised wooden postcard on the Timbergram website! You can upload your own image, have a personalised message engraved onto the card and pick the colours you’d like to use too, such a cool idea. To order your own personalised Timbergram just click here, it’s really easy! Timbergram have also just announced the launch of their new square shaped postcards, these new square designs will be so perfect for personalising with your own Instagram pictures, they will be available to purchase on the Timbergram website very soon, but for now you can exclusively order yours from ‘Not On The High Street’ by clicking here.
