Hello Fabulistas! There are always a few friends who live in other chic locales that I can’t visit for the holidays. I still send them my love with thoughtful gifts. This year I’m using gifts that work in flat pack boxes and flat rate boxes so they travel safely and use up less shipping materials. Here are a few chic gifts I’ve picked out for the holidays that will easily ship. Framed art prints Art is one of my favorite gifts to give. Many of my friends and family wish they had more art in their homes but hesitate to make the plunge. There are several sites with affordable art prints that are already framed. Society6 sells a 10″x12″ size that fits in a standard USPS box! robin1

Foldable Planters I try to always give gifts for the home. I found these foldable, decorative planters and had to get my hands on them! They’re compact and would make a much-appreciated gift for the far-flung friend with a green thumb. robin2
