Free Postcards from Hippopost!

Earlier this year, I discovered Hippopost. This ingenious idea allows you to upload a picture of your choice to be used as a postcard (you can also add a message). Hippopost will then print and mail the postcard for you! (Mailed to the US and Canada only–I’m guessing you could send them if you are located internationally, but would have to send them to a US or Canadian address.)

They are able to do this for free by placing a small advertisement on the postcard. So long as you don’t mind sending a postcard that has an advertisement on it, this is a great freebie! I have done this several times, and receive a nice glossy postcard…for free! (The ad is very small and appropriate.)

If you’re on a trip and want to send a postcard, all you need is an internet connection and a digital photo (you can actually select one of their images and just add your message, too, if you’re just looking for the postcard feature.)

To me, this is free photo development, postage, and a time saver all rolled up into one great freebie!
