What's Inside

One envelope. A whole celebration.

Notice we didn't say box. Hoopla Post arrives like a letter from a well-traveled friend, because that's exactly what it is. Here's what slides out when you open it.


The art card

The front is an original work of art. Not a stock photo of a crowd, but an artist's take on the feeling of that month's celebration. Whenever possible, it's made by an artist from the celebration's home country, working in their own style, so the card carries a little of the place itself.

Flip it over and you'll find the essentials: what the celebration is, where and when it happens, how to pronounce it, how to say hello, please, thank you, and goodbye like a local, and the QR code that opens this month's page on the Hoopla Hub.

Bonus fun: the twelve cards in a year are designed to fit together, like pieces of one big collage. Keep them all, arrange them right, and by year's end you're holding a thirteenth artwork nobody can get any other way.


The sticker

At least one per month. Put it in your Hoopla Passport, on your laptop, journal, water bottle, the inside of a cabinet door where only you will ever see it: wherever you like. Either way, by December, you've got a year of the world's best days in miniature.

(Your Hoopla Passport arrives free in your very first envelope. Consider it your official documentation.)


A note from me

Every celebration belongs to a community, so every month I write you a short note about a cause connected to that month's celebration in some way. Sometimes it will be a cause local to the party itself, and sometimes it will simply reflect the spirit of the event. 10% of Hoopla Post's profits go there. My favorite part of the envelope.


One small surprise

Every month, one more thing. A recipe. An activity. Something to make, play, or taste. It changes every month, it always fits in the envelope, and that's all you get to know. Oh, the suspense! ;)


The key to the Hub

That little square on the postcard is a door. Behind it: your members-only page for this month's celebration, with the music those streets will be playing, the story of why this party exists, and ways to celebrate along from right where you are. Your envelope always arrives ahead of the celebration it features, so when the big day comes, you're not reading about a party that already happened. You're in it.


Everything above slips through a mail slot and weighs about an ounce. The fun-per-ounce ratio is, frankly, off the charts.
