I have sent a regular photo through the mail, as well as half of a paper plate. I would think a polaroid would work.

If you're in the US, I think it just requires additional postage given it can't be machine sorted due to it's unconventional size / form factor

Omg a paper plate has me CACKLING, I need to think bigger lol. Probably right about the postage, i'll look into it. I wonder if an international stamp would have enough..

Yeah now that I think of it, the recipient had to pay like 50 cents to receive the plate lmao oops

I have not sent a polaroid through the mail, but my SO used to work in a post office plant. The general rule of thumb is that if it's solid enough to hold a stamp, it can be sent. Like others have said, at a post office you may need to pay a little bit extra, but I'm pretty sure if you put a stamp and address on the back and stuik it in a blue box, it'd end up where you need it.

Honestly i've been all over the place!! A lot of ones that I thought I would hate I actually really enjoyed, like almond & black tea. Lychee has been a fave for me, and I'm surprised that I'm enjoying powdery ones a lot!

One day I thought, "I should look into indie perfumes." and quickly fell down a rabbit hole. I settled on Solstice Scents as my dealer ... um, perfume vendor of choice ... https://www.solsticescents.com/. They offer 2.5 ml samples and I ordered SO MANY. My 3 faves ended up being Thornwood Thicket, Foxcraft Fairgrounds and Library.

@inkcaps Ahhh thank you!!! I'll have to check out both of those, i don't think I've sampled any of those yet @divergentrays I fear I too am about to fall down the indie rabbithole. I'll check them out for sure! @katbots I love your perfume page!! I got a sample of Delina on a whim last week and loved it a lot more than I expected. I thought it was going to be a lot more rose but the lychee was just delightful
thank you so much!! just discovered your heart shaped page and GASPED, i too am a huge lover of heart shaped objects <333 Also, LOVE your polaroids! I've been recently getting back into Polaroids (I have an old thrifted one-step) and I actually just organized a swap where I learned you can send polaroids through the mail successfully without an envelope! If you ever want to do a swap let me know :)
