Hello again, everyone!
I was just wondering if you can tell me some gifts and tuck-ins that can fit in an envelope  I don't send packages because only one post office deals with packages in all Cairo (as strange as that sounds, it's
true  ), and that's really far from where i live. So i've always sent
my penpals goodies with the lestter inside the envelope.
Please suggest a few gifts that you think can fit well in an envelope They don't have to be flat, but they shouldn't be so bulky or heavy so they won't refer me to the packages branch. I always put extra postage just
to be on the safe side, it's all worth it if it'll make a penpal happy

 things that fit an envelope ...postcards?  stickers, bookmarks, stamps ...teabags perhaps? if sending eg.
keychain or fridge magnet, it´s better to tape the edges well or use bubble bag envelope -otherwise envelope can easily break and item fall out  also photographs, letter/memo paper and envelope, recipes, poems,
quotes, lyrics, also magazine and newspaper cuttings (about something you like to share or know the penpal is interested in)... |

Thank you for the suggestions!
I've tried them all except the keychains and paper clippings, i love keychains and have so many of them, so i'll give those a try
Some ideas i have: handmade bracelets, papyrus paintings, charms, sticky notes, earrings, glow in the dark stuff, incense sticks, and coins  |

great ideas also comes to my mind now ...temporary tattoos,
rub-on transfer or other stuff to decorate nails, hair ornaments, iron/sew-on images for textiles?  |

When I was on 6th grade I used to send letters to kids in a penpal section in a local magazine. Only one answered... but she stopped sending me mail
after I gave her my Facebook address :/ I never send mail again until I discovered Postcrossing and I hope I'll have better luck here! |
