*Peeler* from Akihloh is a series of [greeting cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greeting-card-kiosk). Their creative idea is based on the tradition of sending [seasonal fruits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sumo-citrus-x-chillhouse).

Each greeting card is made up of a set of two pages, one depicting the fruit skin, and the other the fruit. Once you get the card, you peel off the ‘skin’ and reply using the fruit.

If this does not make you stop using e-mail, and get you hand writing again, I have no idea what will.

These fruity little numbers are so appealing! I am totally in lust after them - to a ridiculous extent.
