It could be hollow, and serve as storage for a small red lap-blanket you stuff inside!
I sent out a couple parcels today. The postal staff informed me that when sending internationally, the flat rate box almost always costs MORE than the regular USPS priority mail boxes. That’s news to me, but it did save me $20 on shipping! Of course, if you’re sending heavy stuff, flat rate would make more sense.
Oh this is a good idea I have a bunch of things I haven’t used and likely won’t ever use for scrap booking. I will have to see what I have.

lol I am just worried that as I go through my stuff to find things to give away, I will be extremely distracted and want to make something…I am going to carry a notebook and write it down and then write down the supply and where it is…it will take me forever to pass stuff along if I keep finding new stuff!

I have also found that if you use PayPal Shipping, you get a bit of a break…it is only about 50 cents but it adds up! As long as you have a scale and a printer, it is great to use and it provides tracking if you put in an email (I put mine in…an it sends me messages when it gets shipped, delivered, etc.)
1 & 2: JUST ONE LEFT!
I have a thing to list! Well, two nearly identical things: 2 collections of “journaling cards” from printed cardstock pads. I went though ALL my single-sided pads and took out all the pages with these kinds of “cards” and cut them all apart. There are over 60 pcs in each set which include inspirational/motivational pieces, travel/vacation pieces, seasonal/holiday pieces. Holidays include Valentine’s, Halloween (lots!), Dia de los Muertos, Thanksgiving, Christmas (lots!). This is once batch - the other is nearly identical as the pads some with 2 sheets of each pattern, but sometimes I had used a card or two from one of the pages. I photographed only one since they are almost exactly the same. They’re all hand cut with scissors; I was careful, but not perfect.
Adding these streamers made from 1.5" scalloped circles, hand punched from cardstock scraps sewn together by machine. Each are a different length and wherever I wrote down those lengths is a mystery to me! I’d love to give these a home that is not my craft closet.
Some tags (autumn leaves with skulls and spider webs backed with black/grey stripes) and a ~25 scalloped circles in two papers: autumn leaves with skulls and spider webs backed with black/grey stripes and solid black.
Theoretically I can send a 2 ounce letter up to 1/4” thickness. They are a little less than that so I’ll tape 3-4 of them into a card (for stability), drop it in the mail and see what happens!
Thanks for the UK postage rates @Renstar, I’ve added those as well as all participants thus far (including you @TheMistressT for whenever you might be ready to jump on board!)
Would y’all kindly check your link in the first post to see that it’s working correctly?
And as a reminder to all, please start your list post with : “Message me with your address” or I’m sure to get requests for your info. Thanks peeps!
I’ll get some photos up this weekend. I have so much stuff to offer, my gosh. Endless good times!

I plan on cutting fabrics and going through my stash of fabrics…I do quilts for Wounded Warriors and have scraps and leftovers of R,W,B…no sure if I have large pieces that you need, but you could use the red for your hexies…
How thick piping stuff do you need? I have some cording that I use to make piping…it is black but it worked for me just fine…it is to make small piping…
I am looking for small amounts of clay but the kind that does not dry up until you bake it…I want to make some faces for spirit dolls and small pots for my miniature plants but really don’t want to buy anything right now…
