You might be interested in Postcrossing http://www.postcrossing.com/
It's a project that allows anyone to exchange postcards (paper ones, not electronic) from random places in the world.

Here's the message I wrote to include in the box:

"Postcards for Aunt Millie

In this box we placed some postage paid postcards for our Aunt Millie.
She will get a kick out of getting some mail. All you need to do is
stamp the postcard and drop it in a mailbox. You can write her a note
if you like or leave it in the letterbox to collect some more stamps
before it gets mailed."

Let me know if this idea makes sense the way I presented, and if you
have any suggestions. If you have a box you know would be good for
this extra item, just email me personally.

Thank you

Maybe we could all stamp t-shirts and send them to aunt Millie.

I think either placing them into letterboxes, or asking for volunteer
boxers to stamp and write her a note is a sweet idea. As Don had
pointed out, sometimes people other then letterboxers find a box and
they can be somewhate rude. So maybe volunteers would be the better
idea. Is your Aunt shut in or in a nursing home? The Cats Meow

Georgia isn't very exotic but I'll take some cards.

Here's my idea, I bought some postage paid postcards and addressed them
to my Aunt Millie. I'm going to put them in one of my local boxes for
people to stamp and mail off. But I would like her to get some cards
from more exotic places! If you own or know of a box with some extra
space I will send you some of these cards to put in the box.

Here's the message I wrote to include in the box:

"Postcards for Aunt Millie

Well, it's certainly is not the worst I have ever been called. I prefer
Mr. Idiot, by the way.

I prefer knucklehead but I picked that up from another boxer.

Silverback; is that one of those guys that you see on the beach
wearing a bright bathing suit and flashy watch who is usually too loud
and has waaay too much back hair?

No, they are just old, worn out, grumpy gorillas.

Well Nathan is partially correct, but most of the female gorillas
would question the "worn out" description.
