Birthday Party in a Box

My niece celebrates her birthday next week.  She is also studying abroad in France.  We will miss spending some time with her around her birthday.  Never fear!  We came up with a solution to help her celebrate, even without us!  We packed her a birthday party in a box!  Included in this tiny little box is a tiny little Pinata that we found at Target, candy, candy, and more candy, stickers, and a couple of banners that she can hang in her room in order to make it look more festive!  We also enclosed one of those obnoxious, singing birthday cards that has the Eiffel Tower on the front, and Marie, the little French kitty cat from the Disney movie "The Aristocats".  It plays Happy Birthday with a flair... hahahaha!
I don't know if you can read the words in small print?  It says "some assembly required".
 
We shipped it out on Sept. 1, and her birthday is Sept. 12.  According to the post office, it should get to her before the end of this week!  We kept the box as small and light as we could, as we were worried about the cost of International Shipping.  We were very fortunate - the cost of shipping came up to less than $20.  Not bad for a parcel traveling across the Atlantic Ocean and off to some small village in France!

I hope she has a marvelous time!  

Bon anniversaire!
