There is something about the pen pal relationship that is quietly remarkable. You know each other through letters — which means you know each other through chosen words, the things that got written down because they were worth the effort of writing down. You know their handwriting and their humor and what they're reading and how they feel about things that happened, because they told you in writing, which is a more considered version of telling someone than most conversation allows. You have probably never met. You might meet someday. Either way, the relationship is real, and a gift that crosses the distance says: I have been paying attention to all of this, and I got you something that proves it.

These are for the relationship built through letters — things that fit the correspondence and say something about paying attention.
