Mailing International: Homemade Gifts

What gift is Small, Light, and Fits in an Envelope?

(the obvious "gift card" answer is the last choice, at the end of this post)

Handmade gifts are actually one of the best things to send by International post. 
*Their dollar value is low, so your recipient doesn't usually have to pay customs fees.
*Many countries exempt handmade gifts from customs and duty fees altogether.
*They pack alot of love into a small space

So I'm brainstorming how to send artist-type gifts in as small a package as possible:  The Envelope.

Mailing International: "Indestructible Cookies"



What gift is small, light, + fits in an envelope?
(hint: if you said "Gift Card", you'll have to see my next post)

Sending cookies to my family is a very Global affair. It costs a small fortune to send tins to four different continents, so this year I want to try Sending Cookies In Envelopes!
