Pen Pal Goodie Boxes?

  • Popular Post

So, I was thinking, how fun would it be to have a monthly pen pal? Someone new each month to send a box of goodies or things that you have found helpful. It is something that I have been thinking about for sometime now and would like to get started. There would of course be a spending limit and some general rules but I wanted to get a feel as to if anyone would be interested in participating.

If you are interested reply with an email that I could send you more info to. I would love to get this started!!

My pen pal and I successfully exchanged gifts and emails and it was fun. She is post op and sent me her favorite items that helped her through after the surgery and I'm pre op so I sent her a bariatric medical id bracelet in pink! I've made a friend who is further along than me and who has given me great advice and guidance. Thank you for setting this up!

I haven't been here in quite a while and this place never ceases to amaze me. I'm not active enough to participate at this time but this is such a wonderful idea. I love how supportive this community is of one another. Take care all. :)
