Hello my darlings,
It's no secret that I enjoy sending packages and letters across the globe to my penpals, I've always loved giving to people but sometimes the giving is the problem - What do I give to my penpal that can fit inside an envelope? What the heck do I send them besides a simple letter? The sole purpose of having a penpal is exchanging letters but it's also nice to send them a few goodies along too. I know I'm not the only one who has been stuck on what to send to their pen pals/snail mail buddies so I decided to create a list of things you could send to them without breaking the bank for postage.
- Origami animals
- A little book filled with facts about you
- Luggage tags
- Washi samples
- Project life Cards
- Tea bag packets
- Dried flowers
- Postcards
- Your artwork
- Stickers
- Confetti
- Paper shapes/die cuts
- Photographs/polaroids
- Stamps
- Paperclips
- Mail tag questions
- Journaling prompts
- Sticky notes
- Bookmarks
- Doilies
- A list of your dreams and ambitions
- Magazine/book clippings
- Make them a vision board
- Tickets
- Recipies
- Collage of places you want to visit
- Ribbon/twine samples
- Notecards

- Friendship bracelets
- Your favorite quote
- A playlist of your favorite songs

- Patterned papers
- A mini tutorial to make something
- Etsy shop coupons

- Cake toppers
- Perfumed paper samples
- Seasonal cards
- A map of places you've visited
- A paw print of your pet

- Ephemera
- An envelope of compliments
- Open when... letters

Of course, there are many more things you could possibly send but to be quite honest after 35 my mind went completely blank and I had to find some pinspiration for the other 15!
What do you send to your penpals?
