With concerns about traveling and even having a gathering of family and friends, it is time to get creative when it comes to celebrating the holidays. Rather than ignore the holidays completely, your local shipping & packing store can help you have an alternative celebration. Here are some ideas on how you and those you care about can still enjoy the upcoming holidays.
- Ship shelf-stable foods- Your friends and family do not have to miss out on the dish that you always bring to gatherings. You just have to think outside the box and ship them the ingredients with the recipe written out if the item you make wouldn’t ship easily if already prepared.
- Start a new tradition- It can be really anything that your imagination comes up with. For example, think about a holiday centerpiece that you’ve used for years. Take it to a shipping & packing store and send it to another family member to enjoy this year, with the understanding that they’ll ship it back or to the next person on the list.
- Ship a holiday-themed gag gift- Put a bit of laughter into a loved one’s holiday that might be feeling a bit low without the usual house full of visitors. Perhaps a musical stuffed turkey or snowman or a funny ornament for their holiday tree.
- Ship a present in separate boxes- Come up with a present for the holidays that has multiple parts and then ship them one part at a time, so they arrive on different days. You’ll have them anxiously awaiting the next delivery and having fun opening each portion of the completed gift. Alternatively, rather than give one large gift, choose several smaller ones and spread them out.
