flat rate boxes are your friend

My package wasn't heavy enough, the postmaster said it would've been cheaper to use a different box. I packed it full and it felt heavy to me. You win some you lose some. I think because it wasn't going very far.

The perpetual regift was mailed yesterday, so it should arrive to the lucky person in a day or two.
There could very well be more that just keep going and going, there are just some things that no one will ever want!!

I think there will be another regift exchange the end of June or early July....so start saving for that one!! (I have a few items already )

I have some things that I did not send that could go in another regift exchange.

YES!! My flat rate box order arrived yesterday, so good to go for more exchanges...except YC which I have sent directly from the website.

Yes they are, except when the large flat rate box is not big enough. All the items would not fit in the large flat rate. Luckily, I did find a lands end box that was just big enough. The other box I had was way too big.

Great idea! I'm going to start to save up too.

It was packed full!!

Everything was wrapped nicely too. My poor recipients got stuff just stuck in the box anyway it would fit.

[redsunfish]

I'm glad you got my package taylor3297.

I have one more item that is in route to you. It took me a while to figure out how I should mail it. I sent it out yesterday so you should get it maybe Saturday.

My package from mommytotwo arrived today.

It has "Fragile!!! Handle with care!!!" all over it.

It's like that made it a target or something. Stupid USPS.
It is bashed in on two corners - opposite ones. And they nicely stamped it "received in damaged condition" like that makes it all okay.

The DVD - Miss Congeniality and the bath gift set are fine.
The box inside the box however is full of little green shards. I'm pretty sure it was a "Green Fees Bank" because that is what the box says. With a cork used somehow.

The post office won't do anything though, because it wasn't insured. Their hands are "clean".

No worries Patsy though. I've had plenty of wonderful exchanges from you. I probably would have passed the bank on anyway.

Thank you for the other items.

I am so sorry about that Ann. It was a brand new container thing to put in money to save up for a golf game. I even opened the box it came in to add in more stuffing so that it would arrive their safely .

I can send you more "goodies" if you like. Just let me know.

Those would be from my 85 year old mother in my Christmas Stocking.

Glad you received your package and so quickly too. I am sorry for the pooping cat. Not really, but I am happy to be rid of it.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I have NOT shown it to my boys. They are totally into that kind of humor now.
They will play with that thing until it breaks.

Phineas, I know what we are going to do today.

I could see that you did everything you could do to keep it safe. I swear I don't know what those USPS guys do in the warehouse. It was really dented in and that cardboard is not flimsy. It's like a hippo put in on it's corner and then stepped on it. The opposite corners are squashed like nobody's business.

Now, if you want to find a really pretty postcard with rainbows on it, I won't say no to you sending it. I miss seeing the rainbows in Hawaii. I've only been there one time back in my early twenties and I will never forget any of it.

Mine is on its way.

Cool Beans! I will keep my eye out for it.

My package just arrived today from Kim Raye

The contents of my package,
3-large candles (Cranberry-madarin, Baked Goods (the 3 favors are gingerbread house, maple pecan cookies, and hot cocoa and cookies), and everything nice (the 3 favors are Warm Apple Crisp, Cinnamon Apple, and Strawberry Patch) - my favorite candles are yankee but will give these a try

A Snowman pad of paper with magnets - I will keep this to place next to my phone, love snowmen

a Christmas stocking - will hold onto this until next Christmas for the stocking exchange

Instyle cologne, An impression of Chanel No 5 - I used to do Chanel no 5 all the time but since I've gotten older I can't handle the smell of cologne any longer (gives me headaches) so I'll probably pass this on in a future exchange

A 4 pack of Holiday Pancake Molds - I'm thinking about this one whether to keep or put in my Christmas box for a future exchange, I don't do pancakes much any longer since the boys are all in college, so this might be a special treat over the holidays next Christmas

2 Christmas ornaments - These will go in my Christmas box

A fold-up Christmas book - This will also go into my Christmas box for a future exchange

and a post card from Disney Animal Kingdom

Thanks Kim Raye for a very nice package, I'm going to go and light one of the candles right now

 

[JLitfin]

My package is out for delivery, so my pal should be receiving her package today also, hope it arrives in one piece.

 

[Minnie&Nana]

My package from Bobbi (bobbiwoz) arrived today as well!

1 package of teas - do not drink tea; not sure where this will end up.
1 ankle bracelet - kind of a weird one, but I don't wear ankle bracelets, so it will go to Good Will to support a good charity.
1 Disneyland Paris 15 mobile phone accessory - this will go to Good Will too.
1 Cadbury Milk Chocolate Bar - DD will enjoy this - I only eat dark chocolate.

Thanks, Bobbi!
