Give the gift of Sicily, one letter at a time
A thoughtful letter subscription gift that continues to arrive
Some gifts are opened once and soon forgotten. A Letters from Sicily gift subscription gives someone something new to look forward to every month.
Each letter brings them closer to Sicily through its people, places, traditions and everyday life. It is a gift for anyone who loves Italy, enjoys discovering faraway places or simply misses receiving something interesting through the post.
Every letter is written here in Sicily, signed and sealed by Kate, and posted directly to your recipient.
Choose a three, six or twelve-month gift subscription. You make one payment, worldwide postage is included, and the gift ends automatically after the final letter.
There is no automatic renewal, and your recipient will never be asked for payment.
What will they receive?
Each month, your recipient will receive:
- One three-to-four-page letter
- Real stories about life in Sicily
- An envelope written, signed and posted from the island
- Worldwide postage included in the price
- Something tangible to read, enjoy and keep
This is the gift version of our Just the Letter subscription: a proper letter from Sicily arriving through the post each month.

- Click on the button which will take you to Stripe.
- Enter the recipient’s name and postal address.

Something to give them on the day
You will receive the printable gift certificate explaining what is on its way.
You can place it inside a card or envelope so your recipient has something to open on their special day while their first letter begins its journey from Sicily.
Because international delivery times vary, an exact arrival date for the first letter cannot be guaranteed. The printable certificate allows you to give the subscription on the date you choose without having to wait for the post.
Who is it for?
A Letters from Sicily gift subscription is especially suited to someone who:
- Loves Italy or dreams of visiting Sicily
- Enjoys travel, history and discovering how other people live
- Misses receiving interesting post
- Appreciates thoughtful gifts rather than more possessions
- Would enjoy something to look forward to each month
It is a gift that feels personal without requiring you to know their size, favourite fragrance or whether they have room for anything else.
