AnonyMouse_26037 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) There seem to be increasing numbers of different letterbox gifts around now and I love getting things through the post. I have seen tea, flowers, biscuits and cheese among others. I am thinking of putting some together for loved ones I have only seen on a screen for ages and will only see that way for a good while to come. So, I have two questions: 1. What would you wish for in a letterbox gift for yourself? 2. What would you put in a box for a child? I’m thinking of one for my niblings (aged 3, 8 and 12) and so far have come up with: a Lego minifigure, packet of seeds, a sweet treat of some kind. Any other ideas?!

AnonyMouse_8282 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 A craft kit for the children? Many years ago I made a Christmas card for my cousin- only it turns out the glue wasn't any good ..... anyway basically the card arrived in 'kit form' and my cousins children loved re-making it! My cousin even rang and thanked me for the unique fun card 😂 Little felt swing kits to make a bookmark or small purse. We sent home a 'spoon' recipe for biscuits in our busy bags and the children have loved making them and posting pictures on our face book page. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Friendship type of bracelet - you could make one for them and give them enough resources to make one for you in return - or to post on to another friend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_26037 Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 Thank you for all those ideas. The middle one, in particular, loves crafts and I know she’d love a little kit of some kind. I really like the idea of me sending them a friendship bracelet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had cut out all the bits to make C cards But just ran out of time to actually make them, so we stuffed the cards and their accompanying bits into clear plastic card covers and they sold like hot cakes! Lesson for the following year! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
