Hope you enjoyed the video!! I received permission from each small shop to feature them in this video^^. Purchasing from small businesses is honestly so much fun! if you have the chance to support a small shop please do UWU (this is basically 13 mins of me struggling to open packages gently SKDJSKDJ)

FAQ:
How old are you?
I'm 18!

Where are you from?
I live in Ontario, Canada^^

How long have you been penpalling?
I've been penpalling since June/July of 2019

Are you currently accepting penpals?
I am not, sorry!! Between my current penpals, school, and money, I don't think I can handle any new penpal relationships :((

Where do you buy your supplies?
I buy a the majority of my stationery from local shops! The only time i really order online is for small shops etc. check out this video to see what i mean when i say that I shop locally; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcLea7kBNNE&t=76s

Do you have any tips for people looking to start penpalling?
Yes!! I think it's always good to start with someone you know, like an internet friend or a childhood friend you want to get in touch with again. But if you want to meet someone new, that's ok too!! I recommend starting with penpals from the same country. Shipping fees are cheaper and it also takes less time for your letters to reach each other. It's a good way to test out whether you think this would be a good hobby for you or not^^. When choosing people to be penpals, don't be afraid to be a little selective! So much of the snail mail process is the connection you have with the other person, so it is important to chose someone you think you'd vibe with. And lastly, please don't be convinced that penpalling is all about stationery, it's not!! The most important (and the only thing you need, really,) is the letter. Stationery is definitely something you can collect over time if you'd like to, but there's no 'threshold' of the amount of stationery you need in order to start penpalling. When I first started, I just had lined paper and a pen! These are just some things I can say based off of my own experience.
Here are some resources I can think of to help you find penpals:
