- Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2024This book - Letters to Open When.... Is absolutely amazing!! I have purchased multiple of this book. It is a great gift to give anyone who is traveling for an extended period of time. Writing a little words or wisdom/advice note and sending it with your loved one is such a fabulous way to show your support.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2021Purchased this for my daughter since she is leaving for college soon. Each family member got to write something special. I know she'll love it Berghaus she got a similar one for me for Mother's Day. They're pretty cool and very thoughtful.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2020I bought this book of letters for a dear friend living in another state for her birthday. There are many prompts inside, such as "Open when you need motivation" or "Open when you are making a big decision". It was a really amazing process to write all of the letters themselves, and what a great concept from the creators, to be able to give words of love and care from a distance, for someone to open in the future when they need it the most.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2021The Open When book has been a great gift for a loved one, and as I fill it out I’ve also had the opportunity to reflect on my relationship with this person. Functionally, I think it could be improved - it’s annoying to write on the letter because you have to find some thin yet hard surface to put behind the paper in order to support it. I do think some of the prompts are repetitive, and wish there were more custom ones. Overall though, I think the images and stickers that come with the book are cute and will be appreciated.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2024My partner lives 1,000 miles away and she loves this idea. She wanted to open all the letter at her nice lol
- Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2023Adorable idea for someone who is away at college or boot camp. Love it!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2017I loved this! My fiance and I have a long distance relationship and I always give him a letter when we have to say goodbye after one of our trips. This will be the emotional item for the anniversary gifts I'm getting him before we get married.
It came in perfect condition and I love that it has two blank letters for you to write when your loved one should open it. I'm thinking about getting the one they have for your mother and best friend to give to them when I get married and move away.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2023Loved the idea of this! 3 starts because I added additional letters to each prompt and the book was starting to fall apart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Give this to someone you love
This is such a wonderful gift for a friend, family member, child, or loved one. I love to give people gifts that are truly meaningful, so I bought this and wrote all of the letters to my best friend who has seen me through the hardest times. It can take a long time to complete, but it will be the gift that stands out the most to the person you take the time and care to give it to. Expect tears!
