Do any other parents include silly gifts when sending care packages?

<p>For the Halloween thread - last year I bought a coffin shaped box of candy to send to my S. I thought that was all it was. Well - when you moved it (like trying to open the top or just shaking) it would grown and make a creaking sound. I didn’t realize it until I took it to the post office. Wonder how many looks that got on it’s trip to school!!! :wink: He got it and thought it was really funny as did others on his floor. Sometimes the things that strike them is really an accident or our part!!!</p>

<p>Last year, I spent hours looking for a crawling, growling brain to send S for halloween. The only one I found was on ebay for 20 bucks, so didn’t get it. </p>

<p>This year, I just sent sourbats and chocolate pumpkins from See’s. S doesn’t want a lot of junk in room, so he is happy with edibles. I really wanted to send him a howling, flying monkey, or a creaking coffin… but decided to respect his wishes.</p>

<p>Thanks for reminding me that it is time to send D some Halloween treats! See’s candy is her favorite. May be I can wrap them in one of her “too-warm-for-Boston” sweaters!</p>

<p>This store in Seattle is the place for gag gifts and silly stuff (and they ship, too!):</p>

<p>OMG, they have squirrel underpants! That’s funny! I’ll have to stop by their store on Monday.</p>

<p>squirrelunderpants.com! What’ll they think of next?</p>

<p><< I do the Christmas M&M’s>>
Last year for my sister’s birthday I ordered from mms website. You can personalize the M&M’s. I think I put #1 Sis. Kind of pricey, but she loved it, and everyone else wanted to know how they too could be a #1 sis.</p>

<p>I sent my son 14 pounds (yes 14 pounds) of halloween candy that I bought the day after halloween forhalf off or more. It should arrive today. Hopefully the chocolate didn’t melt!!</p>

<p>Sent off some really crazy paisley tights that her sister picked out. Easy to ship! Might keep her legs warm!</p>
