Looking for a simple, meaningful souvenir from your trip to Korea? Postcards are a timeless favorite—and yes, you can actually send them directly from Korean convenience stores!

✉️ How to Send a Postcard in Korea
You can buy postcards at tourist spots, bookstores, or even souvenir shops. Once you’ve written your message, head to a CU or GS25 convenience store—many of them sell international stamps (국제우표) at the counter.
Just ask: “국제우표 있어요?” (Do you have international stamps?)
Drop your stamped postcard into a Korea Post mailbox (usually red) nearby, or ask staff where the closest one is.
💌 Tip: Postcards to most countries cost around ₩430 in postage.

🎁 Souvenir Shopping on a Budget
Not sure what to bring home? Here are some small, affordable ideas you can find at supermarkets or convenience stores:
✔️ Korean snacks (honey butter chips, Choco Pie, seaweed)
✔️ Sheet masks & mini K-beauty items
✔️ Cute stationery (available at Artbox or Daiso)
✔️ Korean character keychains or magnets (like Kakao Friends or LINE Friends)

🏪 Even convenience stores sometimes sell collaboration items (like BTS snacks or K-drama goods), especially at bigger locations in tourist areas!

Whether you’re mailing a postcard to a friend or picking up a little gift for yourself, Korea’s got plenty of charming, easy-to-find options.
