Animal Crossing New Horizons: How to Send Mail and Presents

You can send postcards and gifts to other residents in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Here's how.

Animal Crossing New Horizons places you on a deserted island, where you'll need to build up your very own village. You can make friends while you play, as there are a number of other residents living on the island. Once you're friends, you can send them gifts and cards. Let's take a look at how to do so.

How to send Cards

To send a card to another resident, head to the airport. Once you're there you'll see a rack of cards displayed to the right of the counter. Interact with it and you'll be able to send cards to friends.
