One letter costs quite a bit these days, so I want to make sure every one is worth mailing and ready to brighten my dear friend's day.
i. Tea is one of my favorites to include because I know all of my pen pals love drinking tea. It's something I always have in our kitchen so I don't have to go out and buy some. :)
ii. Stationery is another great thing; us letter writers can never have enough stationery, am I right? I enjoy swapping notecards and sheets of stationery. I have collected quite a bit over the last so many years. :) Postcards are fun too! They could be from where you live or maybe something unique that you know your pen pal will love.
iii. I also love sending quotes on paint-chips. This is free! I pick up a stack whenever I am able (and my parents need something at Lowe's). I usually will type the quote with my typewriter. :)
iiii. Pictures! I love photography and I recently got the idea to send pictures I've taken.
These are just a few ideas to get you started. More ideas to come. :)
I love the paint card quotes. I need to start doing that, even though my family always tells me that grabbing paint cards is stealing.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely little bundles you put together! Such thoughtfulness makes going to the mailbox so much fun!
ReplyDeleteYour packages are cute! Mine wasn't quite as cute, but I got a catalog with lots of porch items. So I cut out a few pages that had items that reminded me of my aunt and sent them to her as she's hundred of miles north of me, and quite tired of winter. She really like the reminders of spring.
ReplyDeleteSuch loveliness!
