We’re heading into the holiday period and if you’ve forgotten what it’s like to send hand written greetings, here’s a chance to revive that tradition.

Felt makes it easy to send cards featuring your own handwriting through your iPhone or iPad. Just download the app and then design a card perfect for any occasion you need to send a greeting: graduation, wedding, congratulations—you name it!

Here’s how it works:

Scroll through your photos and select one that would be great for a card, or you can select a design out of Felt’s own library. There are hundreds of options to choose from on the site.

Next: use your finger or stylus to write a message. If your handwriting seems lacking on the screen, there are some cool designer fonts you can use.

Add in a handwritten address and you’re all done. Felt will print your card, seal it in a square envelope and even put on a hand-applied first class stamp. Your recipient will think it came straight from you, and really, it did.

The pricing begins at $3. That’s for one square card created on an iPhone, plus envelope and postage. All cards are printed on premium Mohawk paper and mailed within 24 hours of your order. The recipient will think you wrote it and stamped it yourself.

It can’t get more simple and affordable to reach out in a personal way–unless of course, you go old-school and buy an actual card. But who does that these days? Felt is a great way to remember people for any occasion throughout the year, but with the holidays approaching, you might find it more useful now than in July.

Yellowjackets season 3: Everything we know
There's still time to watch the first two seasons before season 3 comes out
Yellowjackets season 2; The group confronts their truth

Between the large variety of streaming options available to TV fans and the long wait times between new seasons, you'd be forgiven for forgetting some of the best programming on air today. Hopefully, when looking for shows that have slipped between the cracks, you take a look at Showtime's Yellowjackets. This gaudy, eye-popping drama is a mix of many different genres and capitalizes on shock value and creative storytelling techniques to craft a unique experience unlike anything else running at the moment.

The show is named after the girls' high school soccer team that the plot revolves around. The young women of the Yellowjackets are talented, ambitious, but flawed teenagers with hopes and dreams for the future. When their plane crashes in the woods during a cross-country flight to a soccer game, the obscene circumstances force many of the girls to do things they never would have imagined. In an ingenious bit of storytelling and character development, the show also bounces 25 years into the present timeline (the crash happened in 1996) to show the survivors of the crash in their early 40s in 2021. If you read Lord of the Flies at some point in school as a kid or got hooked on Lost during its 2000s heyday, you'll immediately see some parallels and shared DNA between Yellowjackets and those stories.
