There’s no set rule on this. I usually include a locally made margarita mix, a pint of good tequila, the shot glass (of course), and some other little local stuff. Like last year, I included some locally made cajun spice. Refrigerator magnets, postcards, etc. are nifty, just whatever you wanna do! Just a little bit of flair from your corner of the globe. If you want. If you feel like sending just a glass and maybe a hand-written note, that’s just as fine. I’ve received just a glass in a box before. Had I not been the one organizing, I wouldn’t have even known who sent it to me! But I still have that glass, right up there with the rest of em. ---

Or is it more-or-less worth the risk if you just leave it out of the shipping label? I’m from USA, and I put it on the label going to Australia, and it seemed to reach the Doper just fine. I wouldn’t worry either way. ---

I’ll be sending mine out to the Heartland of America this weekend. Trust me, it’ll be worth the wait…😃 ---

I’ll be mailing Monday. Picked out my items today. I wanted to send, along with the glass and other items, some of my chocolate chip cookies. But given how hot it is here now, I don’t think mailing chocolate would be a good idea. ---

I got my stuff all packaged up and ready to take to the post office and then discovered the battery on my wall clock had failed and it was too late to mail. So the box is in the trunk of my car and will go to MS tomorrow. Am I the first to actually get a package? I got one from Maine today. A really pretty Maine shot glass, a packet of blueberry tea, and a bottle of real maple syrup! Yum yum. I want to make pancakes right now, but will wait till the weekend. No note, but Atomic Mama said she was mailing to Kansas, so thank you if it was you. The initials are AV. ---

Mine is sent. Now I can only hope that my phone is still at the post office in the morning, since I’m pretty sure I left it on the counter. ☹ ---

That was me! Good guess! And you sent me a shot glass from your end of the universe a few years ago … had a tornado on it … up in my collection & lookin’ good. Thanks again, for the past fun & games … “Atomic Mama” ---

Hi Atomic Mama! A tornado, was it? One pictorial I never send, being from Kansas, is Oz. If you only knew how tired I got, while living out of state, of people making Dorothy jokes. So I go with tornados, or sunflowers, or even wheat or the state seal, but never Oz. ---
