Influencing Factors: My grandfather is very hard to buy presents for but it's like this was tailor made for him.
Good Job, Guys!

This is a quality product. The documents are well presented and interesting. I have also been impressed by how thoughtful History By Mail is with their customer communication. So many subscription services take advantage of their customers by sneakily auto renewing without any warning and making their cancellation process intentionally convoluted. Not History By Mail. These guys sent me a reminder email over a week before my subscription was due to auto renew with an easy cancellation link included, just in case I wanted to use it. That is such a classy move. This is the kind of company I like dealing with. I have renewed my subscription for another year.

Influencing Factors: Interesting and unique gift idea for my history loving teen!
Fun and unique gift

I purchased this subscription as a gift for my son (age 14) who’s into history. When we received the first month we were very impressed with the replica documents and the extra information sheets giving historically accurate information on the document. Due to them being replicas, it can be difficult to read based on the language or font that everything used to be written in, so the info sheets that explain what everything means and says is so helpful. Very cool and unique gift idea. There’s also an option for Urban Legends that I added on which has really cool stuff!

History From the Source

Fascinating documents from American history in the mail every month make HistorybyMail an exceptional gift! The letter of context for the document is well researched and written. Wish I had received HBM when I was teaching high school history!

Influencing Factors: I’m a history nerd, it’s very important that I have some kinda of historical discovery every week. History by mail definitely covers all my interest!
I love this subscription

For the past 2-3 years now, I’ve loved history. I’m 14 and only recently learned how much history meant to me. When my grandma discovered this, she immediately signed me up and at first glance I knew this was the best subscription I’ve ever subscribed to. History? And mail? My two favorite things! Since my school doesn’t have the ever history program, I’ve been so excited to get mail monthly and learn new things that happened sometime in the past. I highly recommend history by mail, it’s amazing.

Makes my Dad smile when opening the mailbox!

I gave History by Mail to my Dad years ago and he’s still loving it to this day. I love that he gets enjoyment out of ‘receiving mail’.

Discovery Method: Gift for my birthday
Relearning History

It's been quite while since I've been in school, so this program is not only a re-education, but provides more depth then anything in a textbook.

👌

They do a very good job. I keep all mine in sheet protectors in a 4 ring notebook, my little archive.

One of my best birthday gifts

Have just received my first document and found it fascinating.

Influencing Factors: Conversation starter for homeschool!
Wonderful!

We homeschool our kids and got this as a conversation starter and extra history lesson once a month. The kids have enjoyed retelling the story to the grandparents! We can’t wait for the next one!

Discovery Method: A gift.
Influencing Factors: It was a gift.
Great gift

My daughter in law gave me a HBM subscription. So far I've enjoyed it.

Discovery Method: Gift
Look forward to checking my mailbox now!

Love HBM for the chance to see replicas of some fascinating historical relics and get the background stories on them. May I add, their customer service is wonderful too! Had gotten a duplicate when my gift giver reordered another six months for me, and they were timely and friendly in rectifying the situation. Love my HBM!👏🏻⭐️

Influencing Factors: Unique gift for my history-loving friend/family and then I thought it was really interesting. I love getting the emails.
Awesome Products

I originally started with the History by Mail products for my family, then did the posters this year. I love these products. I hope they continue. Some ideas:
1) Love Letters through History
2) Subscription on State specific interesting historical events that are lesser known
3) Subscription on interesting things in Women's history or correspondence by historical women
4) Coffee mug with an interesting historical fact/correspondence on it
5) Do you have a tiktok/social media account where you share these historical facts from your emails? They are great and people would share them readily with links back to your store.

I'm well pleased

I subscribed as a Christmas gift for my 18 year old grandson who loves history. He's already received his first month's issue, He is also well pleased. So glad I did this for him. Looking forward to future letters.
