In the Mail

A while ago I came across the blog Giver's Log and their happy mail, where she talks about how you can mail all sorts of things 13 ounces or less.  Well, we had friends come visit from out of town and they left a toy.  When I saw a discarded mini water bottle, I thought I should shove it in there instead of using a boring envelope - so I did.
 And, the toy held captive - I hope he was able to wave to a lot of postal workers on his journey:

You've got to check out the Giver's Log - because wouldn't it be awesome to get a bouncy ball in the mail??  Or send some Easter treats - possibilities are endless! There are tons more ideas listed.

Go try it  - I did!

  1. How much did it cost to mail? I pinned the easter eggs a while ago and was waiting till Easter to mail to my nieces and nephews.

  3. I think this is such a cool idea but I always worry that it will be inconvenient for mailmen to keep up with unusual shaped items. I imagine the poor mailman running down the street to catch the bouncy ball.

  13. My parents live on a small island in Florida and it's not unusual to mail a coconut from their little post office, so I sent one to my husband.
