Finding a package in the mail is always a glorious treat, but receiving a package in a fun container takes it to another level.

Did you know that you can send really fun items via the USPS as long as they are 13 ounces or less? The grumpy mail clerks won’t even bat an eye when you gather the stamps to mail off your oh so clever goodies. From colored pencils and bouncy balls to sand toys and flips flips they will be delivered successfully! The trick is to make sure everything is clearly labeled, and 13 ounces or less.

What’s the strangest thing you have ever mailed?

Look at what arrived in our mail box today. Halloween gifts from Nana!

The kids couldn’t grab their bottles out of the mailbox fast enough. The bottles arrived in perfect condition and were shipped from Illinois to California. Using first class mail it only took two days for delivery.

So the trick here is to glue the lid and cut a trap door that is hidden under the label. The trap door is used to place your items into the bottle. Nana also used clear tape to wrap around the bottle to secure the trap door shut. Once it is closed and taped it is really hard to see it. All the better for the mystery of the bottle. My kids could not figure out how she got all the goodies through the small neck of the bottle.

My son took the scissors to his bottle. With some help from mom he was finally able to get it open.

Checking out her loot. It is amazing just how much can fit in one plastic bottle. Inside was a ton of candy, a Pez dispenser, stamps, a stamp pad, glow sticks and a glowing necklace. So much fun!
