Another toy they’ll open once?

The holidays come and go. The wrapping paper disappears. The new toys join the ones they already have.

Paddy Pigeon gives them something different: a gift that keeps arriving.

One gift.
One story at a time.

The collection

More than a letter. A whole collection of stories.

Every month, a colourful envelope arrives with another part of Cubby’s journey inside.

Everything that arrives: Cubby’s letter, an illustrated story, discovery notes, an explorer map, a treasure card and an activity sheet

Something new to discover

Stories introduce new places, creatures, ideas and age-appropriate learning naturally through the adventure.

Activities that belong to the story

Simple activities, puzzles and discoveries bring each adventure beyond the page.

A treasure from the adventure

Each story adds something small and special to their collection.

Small moments that become favourite memories.

Season 1: Big World Adventures

A connected adventure that builds curiosity, confidence and a sense of wonder.

As Cubby’s adventure unfolds, children explore new places, make friends and face little challenges along the way.

Every month adds another piece of the journey, full of Cubby’s stories, discoveries and little secrets to find together.

Explore the Adventure

Something to open over the holidays. Something to look forward to all year.

The holidays start with a letter from Cubby — something for them to open during the holiday.

Inside, your own personalised message is woven into Cubby’s welcome letter.

Then the adventure continues, with a new letter arriving each month.

We ship holiday orders every day from November. Orders placed after 14 December will ship on the next available shipping day in January.

You give the gift. They get something to look forward to.

You might not see them every day.

You might not even live close by.

But every month, something arrives from you — another little piece of Cubby’s adventure waiting in their letterbox.

And when you call, you already have something to ask about.

“What did Cubby
do this month?”

Our Story

Why I started Paddy Pigeon

My mum loved my children, but she lived far away.

We could call, send photos, video chat — but after “How was your day?” there often wasn't much else to say.

I wanted to give them something to open, read and share with her.

That's where Paddy Pigeon began: a letter in the letterbox, written just for a child, giving them something to look forward to and talk about with the people they love.

What I remember most isn't the calls. It's the moments they shared with her. The letter was never really the point — it's what it gives you to share.

A letter is a way of being there.

— Hayley, founder of Paddy Pigeon

Michael H.

Bought these for my granddaughter because I wanted to give her something that lasted longer than another toy. She's only received three letters so far but she already keeps them all in order and loves looking back through them. It's become a really thoughtful little gift.

Linda H.

My husband and I bought Paddy Pigeon for our granddaughter after looking for a birthday gift that wasn't another plastic toy. We honestly had no idea it would become such a special part of her month. Every time a new envelope arrives she asks if Grandma can come over so we can read it together. We make a cup of tea, sit at the kitchen table and go through every single page. She studies the map, finds the treasure card, finishes the activity sheet and then carefully puts everything back into the envelope. Last week she told me, 'Don't lose these because I want to keep them forever.' That completely melted my heart. Thank you for creating something that gives us memories instead of clutter.

My granddaughter waits by the letterbox every month now. She won't let anyone else open the envelope—not even me. It's become our little tradition and I honestly didn't expect it to mean this much.

Bought it for my niece. My sister called me after the first delivery just to say thank you. Apparently the envelope with her name on it completely made her day.

I ordered this because my granddaughter absolutely loves getting mail. What surprised me most was how much she enjoys talking about the stories afterwards. She tells me all about Cubby's adventures over the phone and asks me where I think he'll go next. It's given us something lovely to share together.

Bought this for my nephew's birthday and honestly it's become his favourite gift. He keeps every letter in a little box beside his bed.

Good questions

Questions from grandparents

Is this a subscription?

No. Prepaid is one payment for a full year of letters. It doesn't renew automatically, so there's nothing to cancel.

Is there a monthly payment?

No. You pay once. There are no monthly payments on this page.

When will the holiday gift arrive?

We ship holiday orders every day from November. Order by 14 December for holiday delivery; orders placed after 14 December will ship on the next available shipping day in January. For delivery details, see our Shipping & Mailing page.

What happens after the holidays?

The adventure continues, with a new letter arriving each month throughout the year.

What exactly arrives each month?

Each month brings an envelope with Cubby’s note, an illustrated adventure story, discovery notes, an explorer map, a collectible treasure card, an activity sheet and a short note from Paddy for the grown-up.

What is personalised?

Every envelope has their name on it. Personalised adds letters from Cubby written personally to them every month, a personalised birthday card and a birthday surprise from Cubby. The story, discovery notes, map, treasure card and activity sheet are the same for every child.

What is the Write Back kit?

With Personalised, your grandchild receives a Write Back kit once: a note on how it works and a self-addressed envelope. They write a letter, add a stamp, and post it to Cubby — and Cubby writes back, like a pen pal.

Will my grandchild know the gift is from me?

Yes. Your personal gift message is woven into Cubby's welcome note in their first envelope, so they'll know who sent their adventures.

What if my grandchild doesn’t love it?

If it hasn't been the experience you hoped for within your first 100 days, let us know and we'll work with you to make it right. See Our Promise.

Give them a whole year of adventures to discover.

One story at a time.
