Need some ideas!

I am putting together a care package to send via USPS. It has to represent Los Angeles---candies, books, other non-perishables, etc.. that represent L.A. $20 limit. Any ideas?? And obviously it needs to be something that you would actually want to receive!

Re: Need some ideas!

  • Laker or Dodger T-shirts, sea shells, post cards (hollywood, museums, etc), thats all I can think of.
  • How about a note that says " I was going to send a bigger care package but due to budget cuts all I could send was this paper."

    LOL!

  • hollywood stuff, lakers and/or dodgers stuff, venice beach stuff...

    That was hilarious, Marina!

    I think the other ideas are good ones...a few postcards, some sand/shells, a cupcake would be good...go down to the Farmers Market if you have time...they have lots of "touristy" shops.

  • I like the sand idea - you can put it in a small jar or something.

    Other ideas:

     

    Destination ideas:

    A pencil or small item from Disney Land, the La Brea Tar Pits
    Small item or box from a Rodeo/Robertson store

    Hollywood ideas:

    Some sort of Hollywood item - either a fake oscar, one of those Take 2 black things (I don't know the name for them), a script
    Black and white picture of old Hollywood
    Map of Star homes

    Food ideas:

    A menu from a flagship LA Restaurant - Spago?  Campanile?
    A Los Angeles Zagats guide
    A California Pizza Kitchen cookbook
    Some chop sticks, hot sauce, etc (our thriving ethnic food scene)

     Random ideas:

    Earthquake disaster information (tongue in cheek, of course)
    Copy of Los Angeles magazine

  • An In n Out burger?! At least that's what everyone always wants :)
