my feelings exactly <| sep |> Here ' s an archive of when I first came across it this morning . It was at 1565 <| sep |> I agree about sending snacks . Also is their something you ' re city is known for ? You could get a snack that is popular in your city . If you ' re near a beach you can collect sea shells . Little knick knacks are cute too . I can find alligators made out of sea shells where I ' m from , so you can look for touristy things like that nearby . Since you ' re sending snail mail you can buy her paper with a design on it that she can use to write to you other pen pals . Then you could also throw in some cute colorful pens . They have pocket sized adult coloring books you could send with a pack of colored pencils . If she wears makeup you can see if it ' s cheaper for you to purchase it than her and send her some products .
