Monthly Collectibles (formerly called Donation Items) are limited-edition online items purchased with real currency on the site of . In June 2003, users of Gaia Online petitioned for a "donation system" in an attempt to increase site revenue, and now the site has its own donation system where users can buy special items known as "Sealed Envelopes". On the 15th of every month, the Sealed Envelope disappears from the user's inventory and is replaced by a "Thank You Letter" for the month in which the user made his or her payment (for example, a "Thank You Letter for August 2004" if the payment was made in that month of that year). They are then able to "open" these virtual letters to choose one of two or three unique items to be granted to their inventory from each letter. Monthly Collectible items and the Thank You Letters they are found in are specific to the month that they were released in: for example, the items found in the Thank You Letter for April 2006 can only be found in that letter, and one could only purchase that letter in April 2006. Due to the many different forms a collectible item can take once equipped onto a user's avatar, users will almost always want to donate to the site every month to claim one of these as their very own.
