Succinct - and correct.
Prince doesn't accept gifts, and Paisley Park doesn't accept unsolicited mail. Anything other gets tossed into the trash, unopened.
You want to give Prince a 'gift', buy his next album or attend one of his concerts.

Not sure if this is correct but this is address I have:
Paisley Park Studios
7801 Audubon Road
Chanhassen, MN 55317-8205
Do like my daughter did and send a registered letter so he has to sign for it! 
(It came back signed by some woman, maybe it was Manuela? It was a long time ago before we even knew of her existence- I should have saved the slilp) |

Please, please, PLEASE tell us you are sending him either a sand dollar or one of his songs that you "improved" in some way.
In all seriousness, you can send something to the Paisley Park address but the odds Prince will see it are probably very, very small. But good luck! |

After Prince had my daughter sing with him onstage, we sent thank-you letters to him, Candy and John Blackwell to the PP address. Not registered, though - just regular mail.
I have no idea who ever got them, but I do know they never came back return mail. |

Holy crap!   My daughter would have fell out if Prince called her on stage! How great for your daughter! |

Thanks! It was awesome for her. She actually got to sing onstage with him twice during the Musicology tour - once in San Antonio, and once in Houston. |

Here's a better idea: The next time Prince supports a charity (likes fine in the past for various groups around Minneapolis) make a donation to said charity. That's the best gift you could give him. "Drop that stereo before I blow your Goddamn nuts off, asshole!"

Sorry but... how goofy is that? She (or he) wants to send something TO PRINCE- sorry but that is such a hokey response. |

Some random gift from a stranger or support for a charity he likes? He doesn't need shit from random strangers. And it's a waste of time and resources for people to send him unsolicited shit. Redirect that time and money somewhere productive. Also, fuck you. Hokey, my balls. "Drop that stereo before I blow your Goddamn nuts off, asshole!"

Just as 'hokey', if not more so, is sending Prince a forgettable, slobbering fan letter full of tired compliments that he's heard countless times over in his career, or a cheesy offering like a stuffed animal or whatever that's going to either be tossed (unopened) into the trash can or possibly given away to a local charity, having never even been seen by Prince. It's a waste of time and postage.
But then, everyone thinks their letter or "special gift" to him will be THE ONE THAT GETS NOTICED. |

Wow - are they the golden girls? I guess now you kind of wish you did not do that? How come you got them on tattooed on your legs? (just curious - not meaning to be rude). I can understand someone getting the P symbol or a little bird or something quirky - but that is one serious tatt on your legs for a TV show? Thank you Prince for every note you left behind 💜 |

Back in the day one could probably send a little something 2 1st AVE - but - who knows how much Mr. Prince frequents 1st Ave. If u want 2 stay in touch - just listen to his music! |

I remember when I saw Prince for the Musicology tour, there was a table where people put flowers and various gifts for Prince.
So, I'd probably say go to a show. JERKIN' EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!!!!! |

Prince doesn't accept gifts, or at least edible ones. Hoping he does give the other gifts he receives to charity because I'm sure lots of people have tried to show love this way.
As for writing, Prince probably isn't the one that will open or see your letter. If you do try tho, be prepared for some type of remarks or maybe even an undercutting from his girlfriend on a board like this.
I bet once in awhile Prince would read some fan mail but it doesn't seem likely to happen often, since he stays busy while in a creative mode.   |

The only tip I have is to seal up the jiffy bag with lots of tape so that it doesn't leak.
Good luck!
