PC Wanderlust Care Packages

Some Suggestions

· As much as we would love to get a package, what we really want is to know you’re thinking about us. A nice, long letter will make us as happy as a package.

· Always include a note, even if it’s only a couple of sentences.

· If we ask you to send us a few things, throw something extra in there, too. Everyone loves a surprise.

· Remember when we were kids and dreaded “practical” gifts? Well, now we don’t. Send us socks!

· Remember, it probably won’t come home with us! We love it, we use it everyday, we can’t live without it…but we still don’t want to bring it back. A lot of the things you send us will probably be re-gifted when we leave.

· Almost all packages are opened by customs officials. Presents are unwrapped. Cards are opened (if there’s money anywhere in there, it will probably be found and confiscated). Everyone loses a package at some point, or receives one with half its contents missing. So, don’t send anything valuable.

· If you do need to send something valuable, go through Meest. Even if you don’t live near a Meest location, you can mail a package to them in the US, and they will send it on to Ukraine. http://www.meest.net/
