Air popped pop corn is cheap and environmentally safe to use as packing material.

Glad ware is relatively cheap and is great for sending cookies in.

Re-use containers such as an empty Pringles container or a clean empty butter container to put cookies or small things in.

Bubble wrap!!!  Not only keeps your items from breaking but it is fun to play with too.

You will be able to add more variety if items are bought in “travel size” containers.
