Hey Peoples,

I wanted to let you know what I ended up putting into my July 4th care package. It was hard to put together an Independence Day theme, so I decided that anything that goes into the package must be "Red, White, and/or Blue"! Here's what I have so far...

Rice Krispy Treats
Orbitz gum 10-pack
Lil Debbie's Spirit of America Brownies & Cakes (2 boxes)
Goldfish crackers in the blue bag
Red foam football
Red, White, & Blue Spiderman Yo-Yo
Red, White, & Blue Bead Necklaces with Stars & Flags
Uno Cards
Playing Cards in the Red & Blue Pack
2 Red, White, & Blue Bandanas
A Blue and a red frisbee
A big red, white, & blue felt Uncle Sam hat
A red & blue helicopter on a string toy (something to fly at eachother)

That's about all I am going to get to fit into the flat rate box, but as I sit here looking at my shopping trip I think it is a pretty good haul! Hope this gives someone some good ideas. Oh, and Target has a big sale on Spiderman stuff (it's all Red, White, & Blue and what guy doesn't like Spidey?!)

:bliss

Those are all really neat ideas! I keep meaning to send fun stuff like water guns/balloons, but every time I pack up a box I forget... until I'm AT the post office! Go me! :duh:mrgreen
