Gift a Base Membership (1 Print + Letter)—U.S. Subscribers
Every month, a little piece of Hawaiʻi arrives in their mailbox—original art, meaningful words, island stories, personal encouragement, and a letter written just for them.
A Gift Base Membership brings a signed featured work of art to someone you love each month—art they can hold, display, and keep—for just $13/month, with free shipping. It’s a gift that isn’t used up in an afternoon. It arrives again and again—a small, steady reminder that someone was thinking of them.
The artwork always leads, and the way it arrives follows. I choose whatever suits each month’s piece best—so no two envelopes ever arrive quite alike.
What They’ll Receive Each Month:
An Original Work of Art by Kelly Valencia (Reproduced) from Hawaiʻi: A featured artwork by Kelly Valencia, beautifully reproduced and sent hand-signed and ready to frame. The presentation is designed around each month’s artwork, so it varies from month to month.
The Complete Aloha Life Letter: My full monthly letter, filled with personal stories, reflections, encouragement, life lessons, glimpses of life in Hawaiʻi, and ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi. Each letter is written by me, Kelly Valencia, and printed in a font created from my own handwriting on beautiful, high-quality stationery.
Private Video Edition: Watch or listen as I read your monthly letter aloud, followed by a Hawaiian language lesson exploring the pronunciation, meaning, usage, and cultural context of the month’s featured ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi word or phrase—perfect for accessibility, listening on the go, or a more personal and immersive experience.
Local Flavor: Discover a taste of Hawaiʻi with a monthly recipe inspired by the foods, flavors, and local favorites enjoyed across the islands—along with a little background about what makes each dish special.
An Authentic Snail-Mail Experience from Kauaʻi: This isn’t something printed and shipped from a fulfillment center. It’s real, tangible correspondence thoughtfully prepared in Hawaiʻi and sent to your recipient’s physical mailbox each month.
Birthday Month Bonus Print: Because birthdays deserve a little extra aloha! During your birthday month, you’ll receive a bonus signed art print tucked into your monthly mailing—my birthday gift to you.
How Your Gift Works
At checkout, you’ll enter your recipient’s mailing address so their envelopes go straight to them. Their first envelope includes the "Welcome to Aloha Life Letters" note every new subscriber receives, along with the month’s correspondence. Order by the 10th, and their first envelope mails during the first week of the following month.
Your card is charged today and on that same date each month. The gift continues until you cancel it, which you can do at any time in your account at least 3 business days before your next renewal date.
$13 a month. A featured work of art. The complete Aloha Life Letter. Private video experiences. Bonus birthday art. Free shipping, straight to their mailbox. Made with aloha—one envelope at a time.
Please note: Each month’s presentation is designed around that month’s artwork, so the way the piece arrives may vary from month to month. That’s part of the joy of it—every envelope is its own small surprise, just like real snail mail from a friend. Every now and then, I love tucking an unexpected surprise into an outgoing envelope—just because.
