Between increased online shopping and more people mailing gifts because they've called off their holiday travel, shipping season is about to get really crazy! 

My family is scattered throughout Ohio and Minnesota, so I'm trying to figure out the most efficient (and cheapest) way to send their gifts. I'm thinking that if I order them a gift online, I'll just have it shipped directly to them. However, with the extra time I've had on my hands thanks to 2020, I hand made a lot of them and they're sitting in home office/craft/music/cosplay closet room. I need to get them packaged up and sent out ASAP so I can actually move in there!
