Mail Fragile Gifts with Confidence




Are you getting a package ready to mail and realize that you don't have any shipping peanuts or packing material to cushion the items? Try this trick: First, slip a drinking straw in an almost-sealed zip-top plastic bag. Next, blow into the straw to inflate the bag like a balloon. Then remove the straw and seal the bag immediately. The resulting air-filled plastic "bubble" will create a soft barrier for contents in the box, protecting the precious presents from breakage so everything is sure to arrive in one piece.

Money Saved: $10 per large roll of bubble wrap
