A Bee Note is a small, meaningful gift sent in the mail. At its heart is a keepsake letter, paired with a little piece of art you choose, a surprise sticker, and, in the grander editions, a few more treasures. It is a way to reach out and make someone feel seen, for a thank you, a hard week, a celebration, or no reason at all.
When you use our little finder, you tell the bees about the person and the moment, who it is for and what is stirring it. They narrow the collection by theme and warmth, then show you the letters that fit, each with a little description of its heart. You choose the one that feels right from those descriptions. The words themselves stay a gentle secret until the note is opened, because a Bee Note is meant to be unwrapped, not previewed. There is always a little magic left to discover.
Yes. As you build your Bee Note, you will see the letters that suit your person, each with a description of what it holds and the feeling it carries. You choose from those descriptions. You can also wander all the letters and their descriptions on our letter gallery to get a feel for the whole collection before you begin.
This is one of our favorite things about a Bee Note, so we will say it plainly. You choose your letter by its description, not by reading it word for word, because the letter is meant to be opened, not previewed. Part of the magic is the surprise, for the person receiving it, and a little for you too. You will always know the heart of what you are sending. The exact words are the gift.
Yes, for an extra cost there is a custom letter option available, through the selector itself, or it can also be accessed through the All Bee Notes page at the bottom. Bee Notes, even custom ones, are meant to be a surprise, so previews are not available.
Yes. Every Bee Note includes a little mini art print, and you choose which painting to send. Match it to the person, or simply choose the one you love most. The art is yours to pick.
Each tier carries a letter, a mini print, and a surprise sticker. The grander editions simply carry more. The Baby Bee is the gentle entry. The Blooming Bee adds a set of little journals, an extra sticker, and a wallet card. The Queen Bee is the full flourish, with keepsake hardcover journals and a boxed pen. You can see exactly what each holds on its product page.
Yes, and we hope you do. Alongside the keepsake letter, you can add a short message of your own, a few heartfelt words meant just for them. A little goes a long way, so we keep it brief and lovely, like a note you might tuck into a card.
A Bee Note always carries a name, because the whole heart of it is knowing that someone thought of you. It is a little bridge between two people, never a message from nowhere. So, while it can be a wonderful surprise, it always comes from someone.
Bee Notes are made to carry kindness, so we are always glad to help you send comfort, encouragement, celebration, or love. We are not able to send anything meant to harass, upset, or harm another person, and we reserve the right to decline an order that is not sent in good faith. If you are ever unsure whether a Bee Note would be welcome, it is kind to check with the person first, or to send it to yourself.
Absolutely, and we think that is lovely. Some of the kindest things we can do are for ourselves. Send yourself a little encouragement, a soft reminder, or simply something beautiful to open on a hard day. The bees do not mind at all.
Yes. We are happy to send your Bee Note directly to the person you are thinking of. Just enter their address as the shipping address at checkout, and it will arrive at their door. All orders ship to the shipping address provided at checkout.
No. A Bee Note arrives as a gift, with no pricing listed. All they will find is the letter, the art, and the little treasures you chose for them.
Every Bee Note is made and packed by hand, so we ask for 3 to 5 business days to prepare it before it ships. Once it is on its way, delivery time depends on where it is headed. Custom Letters add 2-3 business days for processing. You can find the full details on our shipping policy.
For now, we ship within the United States only, so we can care for every order well. We hope to open the garden wider one day. Join our newsletter to be the first to know when we do.
Because most Bee Notes are chosen and personalized just for one person, they are made to order and cannot be returned or exchanged. But your happiness matters deeply to us, so if anything arrives damaged, incorrect, or not quite right, please reach out and we will make it right. See our return policy for details.
Bee Notes are keepsake gifts intended for adults, and some may contain small parts, so they are not suitable for young children. Please keep the little treasures away from small hands.
Any of them, we want you to let someone know they are thought of even when there isn't a special occasion. There are themes for gratitude, hard moments, celebrations, friendship, love, and more, plus letters for no reason at all beyond letting someone know they crossed your mind. If there is a feeling you want to send, there is very likely a Bee Note for it. If you can't find what you are looking for there is a custom letter option available.
