There's something exciting and magical about getting a package in the mail. Which is why I'm sending Erica her Christmas present in Santa Barbara, rather than in person now. I resolve to make it even more magical by filling it with exciting things that I know she'll love (or at least laugh at).

• 101 Things to do Before You Die with some of the funnier pages bookmarked (EX: #30 Have a Threesome)
• Corny fake tattoos
• Retarded-looking metallic dinosaur stickers
• And finally, the package must be decorated to the highest degree of awesomeness
