Mini light-up pumpkin - HEB Instant towels - Michael's Light-up bracelets - Target Skeleton hair clips - Walmart Grow your own toy - Michael's PEZ dispensers - CVS Bloody bones candy - Target Candy - Walgreens Pumpkin buckets - Walmart

I think these Monster Kisses are so cute!

I made the lid the same but used black foam board instead to match the pumpkins. 

Tested Sharpies and paint pens to see what would show up best. 

Silver paint pen worked the best.

Used packing tape to seal the lid to the pumpkin bucket.

UPDATE: They all arrived and only one took an extra day to arrive.

Box full of hugs and kisses - care package idea - great for birthdays or just a "thinking of you" surprise - heart filled gift

I love sending little care packages. I found these monogram boxes at Michael's a while back. I decided these would be cute for my Mom, MIL, and all my aunts for their birthdays or Mother's day. I only have one aunt left that I'll mail later this year. 

Sending the box filled with hugs & kisses. 

I've actually mailed packages with Hershey's hugs and kisses but it's too hot now.

I used neon paper and matching Sharpie markers. 

I used two pieces of paper at a time and cut hearts with a heart shaped lever punch.

I'm not sure how many hearts but 8 pieces of paper (2 of each color) filled two small boxes.

I used the matching Sharpie to write HUG and KISS on the hearts.

I folded two at a time and separated before putting in the box.

I sent this one earlier this year.

Box with a personalized 3D printed keychain.

I used pastel paper for this one. 

I've also sent just the hearts (and cash) as a little "Sending some love" surprise.

Send a ball in the mail - fun summer "thinking of you" idea - Hope you have a BALL this summer - USPS

I love this idea and so did everyone that received it! Such a fun and unexpected mail delivery. 

It was super easy and no label needed. 

UPDATE: 2 of the 3 balls arrived. One had a texture and I think the postage fell off.  I lost tracking a couple days after it was mailed. The other two were smooth plastic balls and arrived perfectly!

I wrote "Hope you have a BALL this summer!" on each ball with black Sharpie.

Just above it I wrote the address directly on the ball. No sticker or label. 

Brought them to the post office and they didn't even seem surprised I wanted to mail a ball. Most of the people in line were interested though.

The hardest part was getting the ball to balance on the scale. 

Cost about $4.80 to mail. Kinda pricey compared to what the ball cost but such a fun idea.  I would definitely do it again.

I filled 4 pumpkin buckets with fun Halloween novelty gifts/candy and mailed.  

I purchased the buckets at HEB for $1

Socks - Walgreens

Tattoo arm sleeves - HEB

Press on nails - adult - HEB & child - Michael's

Zombie bath gift set - HEB

Light up necklaces - Walgreens

Lip pops - Walgreens

Pumpkin tattoos - HEB

Cards - Petsmart

Witch fingers - Michael's

AND

CANDY...lots of candy!

I found a bowl that was close to the same size as the opening. I would've just taped it in place if I had green bowls. Bonus idea!!! :)

I traced the bowl and drew notches. 

Used an exacto knife to cut them out. You don't have to be perfect and adjust once you place it on the pumpkin.

I cut the notches just a little longer so they fit inside the pumpkin. 

I was going to add the address to the top but decided to write Happy Halloween instead. 

Sealed with packing tape. 

I used priority stickers and placed them on the back side of the pumpkin. 

Off to the post office!

Cost to mail priority was between $8.20 - $ 11.20.

Two pumpkins had double the stuff so they were $11.20 to mail.

They all arrived in one piece! Such a fun surprise!

Happy Halloween!
