LettersLetter vs My Little Sports Fan

Where they differ

Both are letters and activities clubs. LettersLetter covers postcards, art & prints and stickers on top of that; My Little Sports Fan stays narrower.

LettersLetter is the cheaper of the two — $11.99/mo against $12.99/mo, roughly 8% less on a monthly basis. Whether that gap means anything depends on what turns up: the dearer club is not automatically sending more, and on a gift the up-front total matters more than the monthly figure.

Shipping is the one that rules a club out rather than in: LettersLetter ships to US and 23 other countries, My Little Sports Fan to Worldwide.

LettersLetter addresses the post to the child by name; My Little Sports Fan does not. That sounds minor and it is the detail people mention most often — the envelope being visibly theirs is most of the appeal for a younger child.

What each one sends

LettersLetter

One envelope a month with an illustrated short story, a collectible postcard, a coloring page, a character sticker and a small surprise such as a mini game. The envelope is addressed to the child by name. Subscribe by the 15th to start in the same cycle.

My Little Sports Fan

Monthly handmade mail for children starting to play organized sports, built around teamwork and character rather than teams and statistics. Ships from the US to more than 195 countries.

Which one to pick

We are not going to pretend there is a winner here — they are close enough to be on the same shortlist, which is why this page exists. What we would say is that the choice usually turns on the household rather than the club: how much adult time there is, whether the child reads independently yet, and whether you want post that asks something of them or post that simply arrives.

Read the full listings before deciding, and follow through to each club's own site — prices, terms and gift options are theirs to change and ours only to record.
