Parcel Packing

 

The first year my daughter headed off to college

I discovered how much I love sending parcels.

 

 

Throughout the month I collect things and bake things she might like

and keep a running of list so I don't forget anything come parcel day.

 

 

This is the first year she has a kitchen she can actually cook in

and she has been having fun cooking & baking.

I decided to send her some jar mixes - just not in the jars since they add extra weight.

 

Zipper lock bags work great and I just wrote the recipe on the front of the bag.

 

I set the bag in a measuring cup and it made for very easy filling.

 

Finding the perfect size box is always a challenge

and I have learned to stash different sizes away.

 

Packed nice and full means there is no room for items to slip and slide about during shipping. 

I always cover my box in brown paper which I buy at the post office

since it is much thicker than cheaper versions I have tried.

I also tape, tape, and tape all the edges and corners.

Ready to go, all it needs is her address,

and in a few days she will be enjoying her parcel.
