- With digital cameras, we take hundreds of digital pictures on a regular basis; some of our photo albums are even online. Surprise someone by mailing her a few prints of photos taken of both of you together. Whether you are traveling or she is, the photos will be a nostalgic surprise. You can also print photos of where you are currently located, or if she is abroad, send her photos that remind her of home. Printing photos are a very thrifty way to send a smile in an envelope.
- It may seem like a middle school activity, but making friendship bracelets are more than a school-aged pastime. Making a bracelet is low in cost, although it can take a couple of hours depending on how fast you are. There are simple patterns that can be done in a short amount of time. Combine the recipient's favorite colors to ensure she will love it. These bracelets can also be hooked onto a key ring to make a key chain before being sent in an envelope.
- Event tickets can be more expensive than the other options, but it may be a complete hit with the gift recipient. If he is a concert fanatic or a sports fan, purchase the event tickets and mail them to him; this can be a very exciting gift to receive. Do you have a less expensive budget? Try purchasing movie or theatre tickets. People love to go to the movies; free movie passes can be a welcome gift for the young and old.
- Most retail stores now offer the option of gift certificates. These come in different denominations and can fit in a small envelope. Find out the recipient's favorite store or restaurants and purchase the certificate. This can be done on most company websites also. A useful gift card is a long-distance phone card she can use to call you. Another gift card idea is for fitness lovers. Many gyms or yoga studios offer gift certificate options. A lot of fitness can fit into the small envelope!
