Pocket Post Update: Monthly Character Mail With Stickers Starts in June

Pocket Post is getting a little update because “Sticker Club” stopped being fully accurate.

The stickers are still the anchor. I am not suddenly abandoning stickers and running off into the woods to become a mysterious envelope goblin. Probably.

But I also don’t want Pocket Post to feel like just another monthly sticker subscription.

You can buy stickers anywhere. Truly. The internet is packed with stickers. We are one algorithmic scroll away from being buried under 900 adorable frog stickers and a raccoon with anxiety. I say this with love, and also mild concern.

I want Pocket Post to feel different.

I want it to feel like monthly character mail from the Upper Room Prints universe. Something small and thoughtful that shows up in your mailbox and feels like it belongs to an actual little world. A sticker sheet, a die cut sticker, a letter from that month’s character, digital doodles you can play with, and a surprise extra that ties everything together.

More than anything, I want Pocket Post to feel like a place to belong.

Not in a dramatic “welcome to the secret society” way, although honestly, Mr. Grumps would absolutely demand a robe. I mean in the soft, real way. The kind where you feel connected to the characters, to the stories, to the tiny monthly themes, and to the journey I’m building with Upper Room Prints.

Because that is what this is becoming.

It is not just stickers in an envelope.

It is a small piece of this world, sent to you each month.

Also, yes, sustainability still matters. I love a cute idea as much as the next person with 47 open tabs, three half-finished projects, and a questionable relationship with printer settings, but I need this to stay doable. The new structure gives each month a clear format, makes the value easier to understand, and stops the whole thing from becoming a tiny monthly chaos beast.

Myrtle would absolutely support the chaos beast. She would probably name it. We are not asking Myrtle.

The quick version

Pocket Post: Sticker Club is now simply Pocket Post.

The updated format starts with the June shipment.

The price is now $10/month.

Current Pocket Post members do not need to do anything.

June features Wilbur, the old gay turtle with round glasses and a Pride bow tie, because obviously he understood the assignment.

Wilbur says, “Take your time, darling. But do sign up before the Postmarks are gone.”

What is Pocket Post?

Pocket Post is a monthly happy mail envelope from Upper Room Prints.

Each month features one character, one theme, and a small collection of exclusive items made around that character’s personality. Think character stickers, a monthly letter, digital doodles, and one surprise paper extra tucked into your mail like a tiny “hey, this was made for people who like weird little worlds.”

Because that is exactly what it is.

What is staying the same?

A few important things are not changing.

Pocket Post is still monthly. It still ships through the website. Members still get designs before they are available to the public. The monthly theme is still character-led. You can still cancel anytime. And it will still feel like cozy mail from the Upper Room Prints universe.

The heart of it is the same.

It is a small piece of happy mail built around my characters and whatever tiny world they are living in that month.

Lily would like to add that happy mail is best enjoyed while ignoring at least one unnecessary obligation.

She is not wrong.

What is changing?

1. The name

It is now simply Pocket Post instead of Pocket Post: Sticker Club.

Because it is not just stickers anymore. It is character mail. Tiny character mail with stickers, because we are not monsters.

Mr. Grumps has been informed of the name change. He is suspicious, but willing to allow it.

For now.

2. The price

Pocket Post is now $10/month.

Nice. Round. Simple. We love a number that minds its business.

3. The monthly format

Each month now has a clear structure.

You will receive:

• One 4x6 sticker sheet
• One 3 inch die cut sticker
• A letter from the featured character
• A downloadable vector doodle sheet
• One surprise extra

Some months may include a second extra, but there will always be at least one.

Fred thinks the surprise extra is very exciting and would like to know if snacks are involved.

They are not.

Probably.

The character letter

Each month includes a letter from the featured character.

This is one of my favorite parts of Pocket Post because it makes the whole thing feel less like “product in envelope” and more like a tiny visit from whoever is causing emotional damage, comfort, chaos, or judgment that month.

Sometimes the letter will be soft. Sometimes it will be silly. Sometimes it will be mildly rude, depending on which character has taken over.

Looking at you, Mr. Grumps.

The point is that each month feels like it has a voice, not just a theme.

The digital doodles

Each month will include a QR code that takes you to that month’s digital download.

The download will include:

• PNG
• SVG

These doodles are for personal use only.

That means you can use them to make your own coloring pages, stickers, journals, crafts, gifts, or other personal projects.

Please do not resell the files, redistribute them, upload them somewhere else, or use them to create products for sale.

Basically: make cute things for yourself. Do not make me become a copyright gremlin.

Wonton would like this part to stay calm, clear, and not become A Whole Thing.

We agree with Wonton.

The surprise extra

Each month will include one small surprise extra that matches the character and theme.

It might be something like:

• Bookmark
• Mini zine
• Mini activity booklet
• Postcard
• Mini print
• Resource card
• Coloring page
• Reading tracker
• Gift tag sheet
• Sticker storage card
• Small journaling card

It will always be something small, paper-based, and tied to that month’s character or theme.

Myrtle suggested “a tiny paper hat for absolutely no reason,” so please understand there is a screening process.

Previous months and member access

Pocket Post members can also purchase previous months as long as they have an active, up-to-date Pocket Post subscription.

So, for example, if you join today, June 8, you can still purchase the June Pocket Post at the same discounted member rate of $10, as long as it is still available.

This gives members a chance to catch up on past months without waiting a full year.

Pocket Post designs stay member-first for an entire year before they are available to the public. After that year is up, those designs may be released publicly at regular prices, but not as the original monthly Pocket Post set.

Basically, members get first access, early access, and catch-up access.

Everyone else has to wait.

Mr. Grumps says this is called consequences.

The sticker book signup gift

The free sticker book signup gift is going away.

Instead, Pocket Post members will be able to purchase the sticker book at 50 percent off through the website.

No code to remember. No secret handshake. No whispering “Wilbur sent me” into the checkout page.

Although honestly, “Wilbur sent me” would be a very good secret handshake.

Shipping schedule

To keep Pocket Post sustainable and predictable, it will run on a simple monthly rhythm.

Renewals process on the 20th of the month.

Pocket Post ships around the 25th, before the featured month begins.

For example, July Pocket Post ships around June 25th, so it arrives in time for July.

If you subscribe after the 20th, you will be first in line for the following month’s mail.

Edgar appreciates a predictable schedule. It gives him time to observe things dramatically from a lily pad.

Limited availability

To keep Pocket Post manageable, it is limited to 15 Postmarks (spots) at a time.

If all Postmarks are full, Pocket Post will show as sold out until one opens.

In other words, do not wait too long.

You do not want to make Mr. Grumps more grumpy.

No one needs that. Least of all me.

FAQ

Do current Pocket Post members need to do anything?

Nope.

Everyone moves to the updated Pocket Post format and the new $10/month price automatically.

You do not need to click anything unless you want to cancel, pause, or update your subscription info.

No hoops. No goblins. No weird subscription scavenger hunt.

Is Pocket Post still a sticker club?

Kind of, but also not really.

Stickers are still a big part of it. Each month includes an exclusive 4x6 sticker sheet and a 3 inch die cut sticker.

But Pocket Post is more than a sticker club now. It is monthly character mail with stickers, a character letter, digital doodles, and a surprise extra.

So if you came for the stickers, good news. They are still here.

If you came for the tiny character universe, even better. That part got louder.

Is it still character-led?

Yes.

Each month features one Upper Room Prints character, and the items inside are built around that character’s personality and the seasonal feel of the month.

Examples:

• January: Lily, yearly reset
• February: Edgar
• March: Fred
• April: Wonton
• May: Myrtle
• June: Wilbur

So instead of random monthly stickers, each Pocket Post feels like a tiny character drop.

A little envelope-sized visit from whoever has decided to be emotionally relevant that month.

Can I buy previous months?

Yes, if you have an active, up-to-date Pocket Post subscription.

Previous months will be available to Pocket Post members at the discounted member rate of $10, as long as they are still in stock.

So if you join on June 8, you can purchase the June Pocket Post set without waiting for it to release publicly later.

When do Pocket Post designs become available to the public?

Pocket Post designs stay exclusive to members for one full year.

After that, they may become available to the public at regular prices, but not as the original monthly Pocket Post set.

Can I use the digital doodles to make things?

Yes, for personal use.

You can use them for your own coloring pages, personal stickers, journals, crafts, gifts, and projects.

You cannot resell the files, upload them elsewhere, redistribute them, or use them to make products for sale.

Cute chaos for yourself? Yes.

Tiny business empire using my doodles? Please do not.

What happens if all 15 Postmarks are taken?

Pocket Post will show as sold out until a Postmark opens.

I am keeping the limit small because I want this to stay thoughtful, manageable, and actually enjoyable to make. I want Pocket Post to feel special, not like I am trapped under a pile of envelopes whispering “this was supposed to be fun.”
