I saw these bicycle printed underwear at Target a few months ago, and they screamed Melanie! So I've officially become the person who buys gifts way ahead of time and saves them for the occasion. Really living up to the Grandma Jill moniker.
To continue with "packaging things like the girls on the Internet do", I used one of my favorite paper products in my stash. These kraft library card style cards are something I picked up years ago at Hobby Lobby. I covered the tag with pink paper from the Martha craft line and added a pink grosgrain ribbon pull.
I stitched the undies onto the card with a few whips of embroidery floss.
On the left is the pocket that the tag fits into. I wrapped the pocket with a strip of white card stock, securing it in the back with double sided tape.
I wrote a note on the inside flaps of the paper. The whole thing was secured with a sticker and an M stamp.
The final product! It all fit neatly into the matching envelope, and safely arrived in Texas in time for the birthday celebration.

holy crap!! i had NO IDEA there was a note on the inside of those flaps!!! a month & 1/2 later. i did think it was weird there was no note. i also just found the one on the graduation present. man, i am such a fool.
ps- everybody's seen my panties now! (remember when we hated the word panties?)
pps- the packaging for this and also my grad gift were both amazing. well done.
I still hate the word "panties" probably because Victoria Secrets uses it "bra and panty sale". That's why I used the word "undies".
Also, I thought it was ok that I showed the Internet your underoos because I folded them all lady like.
