A few months ago I launched SpiesInDC - https://spiesindc.com, a mail-based (as in the real mail) subscription service about Cold War history. Subscribers, ahem secret agents, receive packages every few weeks containing reproductions of famous documents, stanps from the USSR, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, coins, and other fun stuff. I keep refining the packages every week to make it better and it is so much fun.

Great, novel idea and great that you've been enjoying the process on your end. Is it possible to gift this? I couldn't tell from the Subscribe section where there's a shipping address field but no billing address information was needed. Sometimes the billing and shipping info have to be the same for payment to go through.

Yep it is possible to gift and in fact that is how most subscriptions come in. The latest round was because of Father’s Day. As for matching billing and shipping fields, not sure, everything has worked fine so far!
