Why We Still Send Birthday Cards

June 5, 2025

Because you deserve more than a Facebook notification.

These days, your birthday probably means a flurry of emojis, a few “HBDs,” and maybe a text from your dentist’s office. Sweet, but forgettable.

But at Metals & Pieces, we believe in marking a birthday the old-fashioned way:
📬 A real card.
✍️ A real note.
🎁 A real surprise.

Because there’s something powerful about holding a card in your hand.
Something personal.
Something you don’t just scroll past—it sticks to your fridge, your mirror, your memory.

What Is the M&P Birthday Club?

It’s our way of saying: We see you. We celebrate you.
And we want to send you something that isn’t just nice—it’s you-shaped.

When you sign up for the free Metals & Pieces Birthday Club, here’s what you’ll get:

A physical birthday card in the mail during your birth month
Surprise stickers, exclusive discounts, and small bonus gifts tucked inside
Access to members-only offers not posted anywhere else
A mailbox moment that feels like someone actually thought about you

There’s no cost. No strings. Just a little love from a brand that believes in paper, brass, and backbone.

Why It Matters (More Than Ever)

We live in a time when most things are automated, instant, and… impersonal.
The M&P Birthday Club is our rebellion against all that.

Because when you receive something physical—something someone actually packed for you—it sticks.
It slows you down.
It says: You matter enough to be printed, stamped, and sealed.

It’s not just marketing.
It’s meaning.

Who It's For

This is for you if:

You love jewelry with story and soul
You still get excited about checking the mail
You’ve kept a birthday card longer than you’ve kept a Facebook message
You believe that little rituals—like opening a card—still matter

What’s Inside the Card?

That’s a surprise. 😉
But here’s what we can tell you:

Every birthday card includes:

Custom M&P stickers (they change every year)
A specialty discount code only Birthday Club members get
Some months may include extra mystery gifts, depending on what we’re testing or launching

You’ll know when it arrives. And you’ll probably smile harder than you expected.

How to Join

It takes less than 30 seconds to sign up.
Just drop your name, email, and birth month using the form below:

We’ll take it from there. Your card will ship out automatically during your birth month.
No gimmicks. Just good mail.

Why We Still Do It by Hand

Sending physical birthday cards isn’t new—it’s actually one of the oldest rituals of celebration we have.

The very first printed birthday cards showed up in the late 1700s. Before that? People wrote them by hand. Carefully. Intentionally. Sometimes with pressed flowers or wax seals.

Why?

Because even back then, people knew: a birthday deserved something real.

And we feel the same way.

At Metals & Pieces, we still hand-stuff every envelope. We pick the stickers, we pack the gifts, we add the note. One by one.

It’s not fast. It’s not scalable.
But it’s worth it.

Because what you get isn’t just a card.
It’s a reminder that someone took the time.
That you weren’t forgotten. That you matter off screen.

Come Be Part of It

The M&P Birthday Club isn’t about marketing. It’s about memory.
And maybe, in a world obsessed with instant everything, this kind of slowness is its own quiet rebellion.
