The Holiday Season is officially upon us – there’s less than a month until Christmas Day! We have a lot of friends and family that don’t live near us and we have to ship our gifts to them. Since we want to make sure our gifts get there on time, we make sure to package and send them earlier in the month. Since it’s the happiest time of the year, I decided to to Ship with Cheer and decorate the boxes!
I headed to my local OfficeMax to stock up on my Holiday shipping needs. They have so much fun stuff to choose from! Just because you’re not there in person with your loved ones to give them their gifts, that doesn’t mean you can’t spread some Holiday cheer from afar!
I was able to stock up on so much to make my packages look festive. Here’s just a few of the great items that OfficeMax has for your Holiday shipping needs:
– Red and Green Bubble Wrap: A fun way to protect your special gifts!
– Sharpies: OfficeMax has Sharpies in a variety of colors! They have some great Metallic Bronze Markers, but I stocked up on green and red Sharpies!
– Scissors: I can’t tell you how much a good pair of scissors can make your Holiday wrapping and shipping SO much better!
– Holiday Themed Shipping Tape: This might have been my favorite shipping item at OfficeMax! They have packaging tape that featured everything from ornaments to penguins to peppermint candy! {From Nov. 2 to Dec. 26, receive a FREE $10 OfficeMax gift card when you spend $30* on select Duck-branded holiday shipping supplies.}
– Festive Wrapping Paper and Tissue Paper: Don’t just throw all your items in a box! I picked up some wrapping paper from OfficeMax and individually wrapped the items I was sending for some more festive cheer!
– Holiday Envelopes and Shipping Boxes – OfficeMax had a great variety of Holiday themed padded envelopes and white boxes that were just begging to be decorated, which is exactly what my son and I did!
I send out a lot of packages and my son has never really shown any interest in what I’m doing. That is, until I decided that this was the year we were going to Ship with Cheer! Loaded up with wrapping paper, stickers, tape, markers and more from OfficeMax, we got to work and had a blast!
After wrapping the gifts, we used the fun packaging tape to decorate the box a bit and the Sharpies to write a fun Holiday message to our loved ones!
After packing everything up and decorating it, I was headed BACK to OfficeMax to Ship Holiday Cheer! OfficeMax has a FedEx inside their stores to make shopping for shipping supplies and then shipping convenient. Why, you can even BUY your holiday gifts at OfficeMax and make it a one stop shop!
Special this year, OfficeMax is offering 25% off FedEx shipping services from Nov. 24 to Dec. 28 at OfficeMax stores nationwide, making holiday shipping even easier!
If you have packages to send to loved ones this Holiday season, make sure to stop by OfficeMax for all your festive packaging needs and SHIP WITH CHEER!
