Shipping Hints

I don't know about you, but many of my friends and family members live in other cities. I always have several boxes of Christmas gifts to send out over the holidays, birthdays and though out the year. Rather than spending money on boxes and padded envelopes, I recycle the packaging that comes in my mail.

For storage, I break down larger boxes to save space and keep packaging material, including boxes, tape, wrapping and tissue paper, together so I can find what I need quickly. I usually print out address labels on my computer and tape it to package, covering the label completely with wide, clear tape.
