$20 box

[chwdg10]

I miss my boyfriend and at the moment we are both completing classes towards our degrees and working a crap load of hours each week. I was at target yesterday and came up with the idea of taking the $20 I had and buying a bunch of random little things to send him. It isn't for a special occasion, but just something to remind him that I'm proud of him and I miss him.

I bought him:
- a $.99 'I miss you' card that I'll write all over
- a small carton of easter candy so he has something to snack on
- some cute little erasers that look like food xD
- chapstick
- new earphones
- some cat treats for his new kitty
- a nerf dart gun keychain (because he's a video game nerd)
- a $5 starbucks card for those early mornings at work

I'm really excited to send this out. I haven't said a word to him about it! If this goes well, I may just do this again sometime. I wanted to share the idea with all of you.

Awesome idea! I bet he will love the box.

I would love to send more packages to my SO, but the shipping is incredibly expensive.

$35.

Oh wow. x.x I use the flat rate boxes the post office has. It usually costs me $5 or $10 depending on the size of the box.

There are no flat rate boxes for overseas shipping unfortunately.

If she would live here I could send a box for like $7. Grrr.

I too use the flat rate shipping boxes as often as possible. It also depends on the size of the items.

Anyway, sweet idea. I just did the same thing on Wednesday. I had to go to Walmart and I had a feeling my S/O was having a hard week and sure enough when I talked to him later he was. I picked up some things for him....nothing fancy just things I know he likes (and things he needs for work....black ink pens, sharpies, hand sanitizer, lotion) etc. I included a couple cards and a bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, which are his favorites.

I love to send him random packages. He was surprised and happy. So, that makes me feel good.

Very nice what you did for your S/O. I'm sure he appreciates it!
