Do you have packages to ship this holiday season? Of course you do! Tis the season to be shipping, right?! I have a special holiday tip to make your brown cardboard package stand out in the crowd. 

UPS Delivery Holiday Happiness
When you ship your gifts with The UPS Store this holiday season, the Delivering Holiday Happiness App lets you add a special video message staring you (or your kids) to the package. Imagine the delight of family and friends when they receive your gift — even before they open the box they will be able to see your smiling face. Watch this video to see what I mean.

Delivering Holiday Happiness

We have extended family in Alaska whom we haven’t seen in a few years, but K still talks about their daughter (who is the same age) as if they saw each other last month. As soon as I learned aboutThe UPS Store’s Delivering Holiday Happiness App, I knew we had to use it on their Christmas package. 

After packing up the gifts, I visited my local The UPS Store to ship the package. While I was there, I asked about including the Delivering Holiday Happiness App to my package.

The Delivering Holiday Happiness App is easy to use and free for anyone shipping a package with The UPS Store. A sticker was attached to the outside of my box with instructions to the recipient to enter a special code to view the video message online. Back at home, I could use the same code to record my holiday greeting or rather my kids could record their greeting. 

UPS Video Message
There are three short video cartoons to choose from, and then you have 15 seconds to add your own recorded message. Everything is done right from you smart phone and within a couple of minutes we had the girls’ message recorded and uploaded to the site. In fact, when the video was ready I received a text with a link to the final video.

Our package will arrive in Alaska next week, and I can’t wait to hear how the kids liked the special video message from my girls. 

If you are shipping holiday gifts, the Delivering Holiday Happiness App is an easy and fun addition to your package. Be sure to ask for it at the The UPS Store.

    I would love my daughter to send one to her grandparents. They live far away and we don’t get to see them very often.

    I would like to send a message to my aunt. My uncle passed away yesterday morning and It would be nice to let her know that I was thinking of her.
