P.S. Let's Be Friends vs Rumble Rigs

Where they differ

Both are letters, activities and art & prints clubs. Rumble Rigs also covers stickers; P.S. Let's Be Friends stays narrower.

P.S. Let's Be Friends is the cheaper of the two — A$12.00/mo against $11/mo, roughly 29% 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: P.S. Let's Be Friends ships to Worldwide, Rumble Rigs to Not stated.

What each one sends

P.S. Let's Be Friends

A monthly handmade letter written for tween girls, combining encouragement the makers say they wish they had heard at that age with craft and cooking activities and a few small extras. Mailed from Australia to more than 190 countries.

Rumble Rigs

Built around a collectible card game about trucks, and unusually generous for the price. Every envelope has a hand-illustrated trading card with battle stats, a letter written from the rig's own perspective, a screen-free activity, an 11×17 blueprint poster with a playmat on the reverse, a die-cut sticker and a bonus paper activity. Ships on the 1st.

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.
