Are there restrictions as to what can be mailed?

How about those neck cooler things
Nail files? emery boards?
Dental floss
Small sewing kit - needles, thimble, pins, thread
Safety pins
Nail polish
Nail polish remover
Stain remover things (Grandma's stain remover, for example)
Hand creams
Shoe laces
Travel size containers of toothpaste, etc.

yet again, amma has my answer. lol Particularly CDs, DVDs, and books are too large to fit in the pocket. So wrap them and label them with a number tag that matches a number on the calendar.

I know she already has a quilt from her mom but maybe some little Christmas squares that she can put together. That way she will feel all the love you put in the squares.
