Listening for Lip Gloss


I love lip gloss. Many women do and so in order for me to reach some of my business goals of having people listen... I bribe them... with lip gloss.

I did meet my June goal for getting 6 people to listen... so that means I have 4 lip glosses that need to be shipped out (two are local). I was trying to decide how would I efficiently send this out with as little cost to me as possible and still make sure my listeners are receiving a package they can look forward to that matches the quality of the other packages I send out.

So I am going to share my lip gloss shipping secrets! you could use it for other stuff too I guess <wink>



Things to gather so you dont have to run around and gather as your go like I did
  • Scissors 
  • Pen
  • Tissue paper
  • Brown postal paper or a recycled grocery bag
  • Packing peanuts
  • Jello/Pudding really just the boxes
  • Another random empty box  I used a fruit by the foot box
So my lip gloss shipping secret starts with the box... Jello/Pudding boxes are the perfect size! Even if you dont eat jello or pudding you cant beat the price when you can find it on sale for sometimes 33¢ each!

So why the extra box? Well I didnt make 3 boxes of jello and a box of pudding today.

So carefully, so not to puncture the bag, label it. I didnt need the instructions because I have more boxes in the pantry, but knowing the flavor before opening it helps. Once labeled they go into extra box and back into the pantry.

Now I take an empty jello/pudding box and I put peanuts down the side of the box until it is about half full.

Then I cut tissue paper to fit my Lip Gloss and I put it in the box with the gloss against the peanuts so the extra tissue fills the void in the box.

Put in any extra peanuts to make it snug! I taped the box closed on both sides.

IMPORTANT STEP!: label the box with whose lip gloss it will be. Once everything is wrapped there is no way to tell them all apart!


I was able to get all four wrapped from one strip of paper!

Then I wrap the boxes with brown paper. I did this one at a time and labeled the boxes with my MK labels so they wouldnt get mixed up again at all.


Now my listeners are getting their lip gloss in a box that is perfect size. Not too expensive to ship and still resembles all the other packages I send in regards to the tissue paper and the label!

I love something to look forward to in the mail!

I also use random boxes like this at christmas time for all types of items. How do you usually wrap stuff?
