Send/receive eclectic care packages

I have an awesome idea…
Instead of doing ‘packages’ whenever, i’m going to mail packages of stuff to my family and friends for christmas and mark it do not open until Christmas.
Its a way exciting thing to get in the mail, and it means i won’t have to take bags full of stuff in my luggage on the plane and i shouldn’t need to do much/any shopping when i get home this year.

Here’s the list of victims:
Zann and Richard
Tosha
Ben
Ashley
Christian
Dave
Dad @ Mary
Mom
Shilo
Steph @ Paul
Ashley
Maegs
Sarah @ Brett
Erica
Katrina @ Matt
Becca @ Jason

I think that’ll just about do it.
I might ship myself 1 box with lots of little boxes inside it. but i think it will be more fun to send little boxes to everyone individually.
YAY!

If i’m looking to make up care packages, i think the best is to sort of accumulate for a few people at once.
So the first three people that i’m going to mail stuff to are:
-Shilo!
-Becca!
-Katrina!

And i was thinking of all the folks at home.
I’m really looking forward to mailing things.
In fact, i’m going to build in a communications budget into my general budget for this year.

In addition to writing a letter a week, i plan to send a little package to one of my friends or family members every week or two. Especially the kids, and the big kids (my friends) will really appreciate this.

I’m on the look out for flat small stuff as of NOW.

I just posted an envelope full of art (okay textile art so it was light) to japan, and it took under a week to arrive there REGULAR MAIL and cost just under 4 dollars to send… AMAZING!

You should totally send a package to sensai every once in a while, and or to the Ogawa’s in Osaka.. i’m sure they would both be thrilled!!!
