I was complaining the other day about wanting to read a certain book but not wanting to spend money on it, and a friend joked that I should give her my address and she would ship it to me. I thought this was a great idea – but instead of sending each other books, I decided we should send each other fun packages instead.
This is an old friend from high school that I haven’t seen since about junior year of college. We’ve kept in touch through Facebook since then, so I do have an idea of what she might enjoy:
I chose a package of instant chai spiced tea from TeaSource, a local store, and a couple cute items from Tomodachi, a novelty and gift shop at a nearby mall with lots of Hello Kitty-type cute imports.
This is a little lunchbox, with a parade of animals. I love the text: “Clapping march picnic. Have you prepared to go on a picnic? It’s fine! Let’s go out.”
This is called a “food punching template” apparently. The text here reads, “You can make a fun lunch like the one shown in photograph just by using this kit.” My friend has three young kids who are sometimes picky eaters, so I thought they might enjoying creating fun shapes in their food with these little cutters.
The back of this package has instructions for using the cutters:
It reads: “Please push the small parts with toothpick carefully. It is completion if it decorates it with the ham and the cheese. etc.” Heehee!
Now I just have to find a box to fit this in and take it to the post office.
Have you ever done a swap box exchange? This is my first time, but I hope it won’t be the last.
