Hey BD, yeah it has a certain appeal huh? It was kind of nice to open that package yesterday to reveal a few little treats. It makes me think about how important care packages are to deployed troops - Receiving one of them means so much, and whilst they may only contain a few small items the emotional boost is priceless.

So, I'm not sure how I'm going to deploy this idea but it would be cool to have a few doing something similar. The problem isn't really finding stuff to send, it's the cost of postage. Me sending s few items to @hidave was about $38AUD and about the same for the package Sara sent me so it's not overly cheap...But for me the enjoyment factor outweighs the cost and I'm happy to do it.

Thanks for your comment and yeah, I don't think you'll be disappointed when you check out Sara's post feed. :)

Thanks for the shout out! You are right it is a little expensive to send the packages. I figured I could invest in sending the packages and brighten people's day with something physical or put it into Hive. Either way it is investing in the community!

I agree with you...Someone asked me what fun I could possibly get out of sending something but for me it's the enjoyment of knowing how that little package can brighten someone's day. It also helps the community as it promotes engagement, togetherness and creates a vibe guess.

Yeah, that kind of fun can get pricey quickly. Oh well. Once in a while could be nice.

I did a little shopping for sjarvie5 yesterday...She's got a few scrumptious things heading her way.
