Maybe this time next year my packages will be more generous after I've had time to build up some items. But I'm just starting out.
Really part of the fun is just the excitement of getting something that's a surprize! I sometimes send tourist post cards of places we've been or thrift store hits, fabric or notions that are in good shape, reading books if I think my sp likes the same kind of book once I'm finished with it, candy is usually cheap just to include something sweet, and you know what, the best thing out of any box for me is a nice note telling me all about my sp! It's a fun way to make a new friend.
And yes, I think some of us have gone a bit overboard just because it's the holidays
