Oh those actually would be good for Christmas gifts...even if the gift is small...put it in one of those boxes and the receiver will think its something big. LOLOLOL

Hehe would be funny to put a gift card inside one of them....stuff it full of rocks or paper. Hehehe I'm bad. LOL
Yeah. You are bad, but funny too. Although, from a child's point of view, it would not be so funny. Someone did that to a son of mine when he was about age 7 or so. They put a chunk of wood in a huge box and wrapped it up. No other present in there. He thought he was getting something nice and instead got a box to play with. I never got over that because he cried so.

But, for an adult, with a small present and a big box...that might be funny.

I have always done this when we lived in the boonies. They greatly appreciated it...because they could not order the same thing. But, now, I am in a big city, disabled and not able to lift that stuff or carry it as far as I would need to.

Someone will want them that ships things on a regular basis. It was just too funny a story...had to share.

Your local post office will take them off your hands if you don't want them. We aren't allowed to order some of the sizes and stock them but we all hide some behind the counters to give to customers!

I did almost the same thing, only I just ordered one. My post office was happy to take them.
