If you’ve never heard about PostSecret then you’re in for a treat. A few years back a blog called Post Secret started a service where anyone could mail in anonymous postcards containing personal secrets. The postcards were then scanned and posted to the blog. Today, thousands of people secretly air their dirty laundry on the site.

Some of the most poignant of these postcards are captured in the PostSecret book that was published last year. Buyer beware…the postcards often deal with some of life’s toughest issues, so consider who you’re giving the gift to before buying it.
