Thank you for sharing your idea! It’s great to see the creativity that springs from resourcefulness. I plan on celebrating my blog’s 1-year anniversary with some giveaways and I’m going to keep this idea in mind for when I have lots of little packages to put in the mail.

Thanks again,
Charissa

Wow! What a great idea! I sell books on Amazon and am always looking for shipping containers to keep the costs down. You can get these at dollar stores for fifty cents sometimes, not to mention the ones you have laying around the house. Wrap with recycled bubble wrap and you have saved some money. Thanks. Wanda

Mary,

I, too, received the cookbook last week in the mail in its cheery envelope-thanks so much! My 18 year old daughter whipped up a recipe and we loved it!

BTW I didn’t know you were an Idahoan! We used to live in the Twin Falls area (Jerome specifically) and then moved to Moscow for 7 years and now are Washingtonians.

Blessings.
Jill

The wrapping sure does look nice in a mailbox. I buy gift bags at thrift store and Clearance for almost the same purpose.
Getting into one of those with the tape around all edges does take something sharp. I use a boxcutter.

I sent my mom some paperwork in a cardboard sleeve that a calendar came in. She said after such pretty outside, what a disappointment to find legal small print and a line for her signature.

Mary, I received my book today in the cute wrapping. I had read your post earlier and when my son came in with the mail I knew what it was. Thanks so much! I can’t wait to sit down with some hot apple cider and look through it!

Smart! I had never thought of that before either. I hate using a box to send one small item, but I don’t like buying a small expensive box either. Thanks for the tip!

And they brighten the mailbox of the recipient beyond all belief – I was so excited about the package it took me half an hour to get around to opening up my wonderful book! I still have the “wrapping” on my desk as a bright spot on a dreary dark desk!
