so i know I’ve mentioned this a few times, but i am still preparing a package to mail my penpal. im going to send it to her in September and was wondering if anyone has any other ideas on things to give her. i would prefer they be light weight, but im open to all ideas. so far im giving her, a bracelet that matches mine, a crochet bunny and two fish for her siblings, a handwriting copy of my favorite poem, a couple postcards, some candy (undecided) and a bottle of dr. pepper. i really want this package to be special, but im just not sure on what else to add. any ideas?

maybe like some dried flowers or like a feather or something? lightweight and potentially super unique

i would love to send her a dried flower, but i hear that stuff like that doesn’t go through customs well. a feather is a great idea tho!

Handmade bookmarks maybe? I’ve mod posted some nice ones onto fabric and that sort of stuff! They’re really fun to made out of crochet too- maybe this would even help you get flowers through! If you layer dried flowers between clear packaging tape it looks so pretty

what size yarn would be good for a bookmark? that would be good since she likes to read

I use aunt Lydia’s crochet thread for more intricate designs, but anything up to weight 4 should work, I just recommend trying to use a smaller hook the bigger you go to avoid it being too chunky.
