Gift/Tuck Ins

I went crazy at the dollar store in my area.

I've sent stickers,small flat photo albums, pens & pencils, snack containers, koolaid, candy, magnets, pins, homemade stuffed critters, handmade hair accessories, charms, photos, stationary, etc. I like to send seasonal stuff as well (Halloween, Christmas, etc.)

I got a pair of earrings from a friend in Finland and they didn't travel so well.

Remember that things get flattened in the mail. Some small items may need to be put in a small box before it goes in the envelope. Sometimes you have to use a box instead of an envelope. It may cost a little more but every once and awhile it's worth it.

I get so excited when I get mail from a pen pal and I know they do too. *wink*

Wendy's Two Cents: Thanks Sarah! I know most pals *wink* love postal mail! Grin!
