Which is why I like the sound of notanotherbill.com, a subscription service created by Ned Corbett-Winder after a friend complained of never getting any post at work. Sign up and Ned will guarantee that once a month something surprising and uplifting will turn up in the mail. His gifts are the stuff of attics, vintage fairs and antique shops: rubber stamps, stationery kits, silkscreen prints and other designer curios, beautifully wrapped and labeled “smile, I’m not a bank statement”. It’s Mysterious, Sensual and Intimate, everything mail ought to be.
The beating heart of this business is the charm of the unexpected, and like all generous people Ned has an open source approach – if you make beautiful things or have an idea you’d like to share, he’s keen to hear from you. Nice work, Ned – the world needs more surprises of the good kind.
