25 Open When Letter Ideas to Give

This post was originally posted on August 2, 2019, on a former blog of mine.

I’m part of several Trucker wife groups on Facebook and I’ve been seeing this concept of “Open When” letters being tossed around. It’s a cool idea, somewhat like the Journal, but a little different.

So the idea is to send your trucker off with some letters to be open up when he feels a certain way or experiences a certain thing. For example… the letter may say “Open when you miss me.” So he would open that letter when he misses you.

I hid a large envelope of 5 letters in Josh’s truck this weekend… So we shall see if he finds them and how this little experiment goes. I tried to hide them in a location I know he goes to every day, but one he wouldn’t go to before I left the truck Sunday night.

So here are some ideas for “open when” letters to try out…
