I am returning a pair of solid bike tires I bought as the size listed in the product description does not match what was sent. The tires are fairly heavy and bulky so I feel it would be prudent to put some buffer material in the box to keep them from thumping around when the box is transported.
Of the fitting buffer material I have on hand, I could either use a heart-shaped mylar Valentine's balloon, or 2 pieces of nice sturdy styrofoam.
I feel weird about putting a Valentine's balloon in the package, even though it would be a good way to get rid of it. (I would feel bad about throwing it away which is why it is still lingering around here in August.)
I feel oddly clingy about the nice sturdy styrofoam because when I wave them in my hands they make a nice breeze, and maybe they'd be good to use as a support for something.
So which shall it be? I think the balloon.
But the styrofoam would be more logical and it would be a good way to get rid of it too.
.
Ah hah! A third option has presented itself - a smaller box that fits inside the bigger box. But then I'd be getting rid of neither the balloon nor the styrofoam and this would be the perfect opportunity...
