Items to give away

5 Red envelopes from the Mandarin restaurant. I believe they’re meant to hold money, but I think they might make great collage papers.

“File folders” that are open on the sides; can be glued or taped together to be more functional as file folders, ore opened up for other uses. One of the white ones has some stickers on it, and the other has some marks, but they’re still perfectly useable.

  • Cardboard… lots and lots of cardboard of various shapes and sizes (not boxes, but flat pieces that may have been previously boxes)
  • small toys (e.g. small puzzle pieces that may not complete a whole puzzle, tiny toys that my kids no longer want, etc.)

In search of:

  • Anything that might help with trying out geli printing
  • Stickers (I llove sharing, trading, and giving away stickers)
  • Stationary (e.g. pretty paper for writing letters)
