You should write me letters, because much like eyes, letters are the windows to our souls. You could even include a photograph of your eye. (If you need more incentive, I promise to write you back!) (Also, please don't include a photograph of your eye.)
Letters take a few weeks to arrive and should be numbered if you're planning on sending a bunch.
Packages take around a month to arrive and should be sent with USPS flat-rate boxes or just sturdy, big, cardboardish envelopes. Also, when you declare items in packages you should undervalue them (ex. "Used books" are cheaper than new books).
If you're wondering what I would love to receive in a package, here's a list: National Geographic magazines, mix CDs, hotel pens, books that you love, recent candid photographs of you, cut-out New York Times crossword puzzles (if you want a longer list, or what I'm jonesin' for in a particular month, just ask!)
ben. anything you are jonesin' for from china?
