Frequently Asked Questions

Every envelope includes 10 Happy Things: a monthly letter from me, a hand-painted bookmark, an old family recipe handed down through generations of my southern family, an assortment of stickers, a life hack, an obscure cocktail recipe, a book recommendation, a movie recommendation, ephemera, and a story from my show biz career (many of them could never go in a memoir!). If you choose the Deluxe tier, you'll get even more goodies like a hand-made greeting card and thicker ephemera.

Standard ($12/month) includes the 10 Happy Things plus 3 extra items in your chosen theme. Deluxe ($15/month) includes everything in Standard plus upgraded stickers, a hand-made greeting card, thicker ephemera for your scrapbook or journal, and other surprises. Think of it as the "treat yourself" tier.

We have four themes to match your vibe: General Joy (a little bit of everything eclectic), The Writers' Room (for book lovers and word nerds), The Dopamine Drop (bright, happy, serotonin-boosting goodies), and The Saints & Sinners (includes bookmarks with Bible verses, prayer cards, and religious quotes and stickers in addition to the 10 Happy Things). You pick your theme when you subscribe!

Of course! Just send me an email at karen@karensartmart.com and I'll switch your theme starting with your next envelope. No hassle, no fees.

Standard is $12/month (month-to-month), $11/month (6-month commitment), or $10/month (12-month commitment). Deluxe is $15/month, $14/month, or $12/month for the same commitment options. The longer you commit, the more you save!

Envelopes ship out in the first week of each month. Depending on where you are, it usually arrives within 3–7 business days after that. Every envelope is hand-packed by me, so there's real human love in every one.

Right now we ship within the United States. International shipping is something I'm looking into for the future — stay tuned!

Yes! Gifting a subscription is one of the sweetest things you can do. Head over to our Gift page to set it up. You can choose the theme, tier, and how many months.

I'd hate to see you go, but if you need to cancel, just email me at karen@karensartmart.com. If you're on a month-to-month plan, you can cancel anytime before your next billing date. Commitment plans run through the end of your term.

Absolutely! I hand-curate every single envelope and I never repeat the same combination twice. The 10 Happy Things categories stay the same (you'll always get a bookmark, a recipe, a letter from me, etc.) but the specific items are always fresh and new.
