Shipping Mugs


Gold Post Medal for All Time! 969 Posts

A partially used roll of toilet paper inside a mug for shipping.I collect mugs all year and then send them to my people for Christmas. They use them for their intended purposes. But some like them for pen holders, votive candles, for their art brushes and crochet hooks, etc.

Sometimes, it's a challenge to keep them safe along the way. Today I was washing a mug in the bathroom sink (my disposal is being replaced). I looked down to my TP storage post and saw a partially used roll.

Then it hit me. It was the perfect size to put into the mug (mine is slightly larger) and will help to protect the mug during transport.

Inspiration comes in all forms, I guess!

This is a nice idea..inserting paper before packing will be helpful for reducing brekage during travel.

No matter how hard I try, we always have more plastic bags than we can use. (Yes, we do use recycle bags) I found that they can be handy when packing. They are light, so if mailing it doesn't add to weight. Unlike newsprint, they so not leave ink on what you wrap in them.

And, unlike toilet paper we don't pay for them. (Not a criticism, just a note of interest. We do take them to the store for recycling, and I make "Plarn" out of them to crochet tote bags out of.)
