Mailing Disney ears

[lovesdisney]

Okay, I had no idea where this thread should go -- it isn't quite off-topic enough to merit the Off-Topic section, but it's also not quite Disneyland enough to merit being in Disneyland Park. So I settled for here, haha.

I have a friend in Oklahoma who came to visit me about a month ago, and we went to Disneyland. And she bought a pair of golden ears. Now that she's back in OK, there is this two year old girl that she baby-sits all the time, and this girl keeps stealing my friend's ears because she's two, and she likes them, and she doesn't know any better. ;D My friend asked me to buy her a pair for the little girl so that she could have her own, and I did.

Now the hard part - how do you mail these? They're so oddly shaped that I don't know how to send them - I was thinking a little box, but how do you pad it? Styrofoam popcorn? Plastic bags? Bubble wrap? Yeah. How would you send a pair of Disney ears?

i would put them in a box, wrap them with bubble wrap, then fill in the remaining with the styrofoam pocorn things. you could also use newspaper to protect it. the box should be able to not get crunched, so use that instead of the yellow bubble wrap envelopes

I think putting them in a small box and filling it with styrofoam popcorn would probably be your best option. If you *do* wrap the ears in bubble wrap, be extra careful that you don't wrap them too tightly, otherwise the ears might tear away from the hat! I honestly think the styrofoam popcorn would suffice. In fact, I think that's how my Stitch ears were delivered to me!

I would fold them in half, like they have them on the shelf, pack the curved in area with packing peanuts, wrap it all in bubble wrap, box it ship it...good luck.

Thanks everyone, I mailed them out and my friend received them in perfect condition. :)
