You know there are 9 and 12 dollar priority mail boxes at the post office.  Cheaper that way. I use them a lot.  I can stuff as much stuff into them as I can then mail them. That is how my daughter gets her care packages at college.  All you have to do is ask the post office people for the boxes. Often they are right in front of the counter.

My return address says Secret Santa with my real address.
Just in case it comes back :-(

So, your address is as the "addressee" AND the return address too?
