What Makes This Recipes By Mail Subscription Uncommon

If there’s one thing that binds us together across generations, it’s food. So it shouldn’t surprise us that even some of the most well-known figures in history had favorite dishes that they cherished enough to put in writing. This fascinating subscription delivers detailed replicas of real handwritten recipes from renowned names like George Washington, Emily Dickinson, and Rosa Parks. An exciting gift for foodies and history buffs alike, each monthly delivery is a keepsake-worthy peek into our delicious past.

  • Choose a six- or 12-month gift subscription. Each month, your giftee will receive a historical document replicated on high-quality paper with painstaking accuracy and attention to detail.
  • Each vegetarian recipe comes with context pages that share the writer’s history and the story behind the recipe.
  • The first mailing will arrive via UPS (to ensure swift delivery) and the following mailings arrive by USPS First Class Mail.
  • Only one subscription can be purchased per order. If you'd prefer to deliver the first letter in person, just click "Customize" and you’ll have the option to add a second address for the rest of the subscription to be sent directly to your recipient.
  • Designed and printed in Illinois.

Ari Siegel has always loved how history comes alive when you approach it right. He grew up listening to stories from his WWII-veteran grandfathers, went on to work at the US Capitol, where he gave tours to guests, then gained an even deeper appreciation when he started checking out historical documents at the Library of Congress archives. With History by Mail, he hopes to share the excitement of holding something meaningful about our nation's past in your own hands.

December fills up quickly, so the gifts worth buying early are the ones that will still feel considered in January. An experience leaves someone with a memory, and no extra object to find room for. Start with our unique Christmas gifts if you still have names to cross off.

A long list gets shorter quickly when you tackle it person by person. Between our gifts for men and our gifts for women there is something for the whole table.
