A few of my closest friends have taken to travel this summer -- San Francisco, Austria, and even Australia! Skype can be grainy, and phone calls are pricey. I've taken to the days of letter writing and it's quickly becoming a new hobby of mine. I found it so fun to find little things to fit into an envelope without paying the price of a package! Some great for small "just because" envelope:
- Perfume samples
- Magnets
- Stickers (I used book labels with C.S. Lewis quotes)
- Stationary
- Tea, coffee, treats!
- Small containers of lotion
- Touches of home (I put in a penny)
- Flattened flowers
- Customized crosswords
- Concert or sporting event tickets
- I always put in a card, as well as a "gift guide"
It's also fun to get crafty! I sent some tea packages, wrapped in twine with a little clock from Anthropologie and a note I cut out.
What are some things you've put in care packages and letters?
