Manila envelopes.
So now I have 200, 6 by 9 manila envelopes that are too small for what I need.
Any ideas what I can do with them?

Stick a card in it, and find out from your post office whether you can mail that card in it for the cost of a regular postage stamp. Then participate in the 2peas holiday card swap and use those instead of card envelopes.

See if a local school or specific teacher can use them.

I have a box in the garage for Goodwill and would toss it in that. Eliminate the clutter!

I sort my photos for scrapbooking in manila envelopes. I use the letter size, but I think the 6x9 would work fine, if you are a scrapbooker.

Well I'm a card maker, so I would use them to post my handmade cards. They can be stamped to fancy them up, and I'd probably use 200 up in a year and a half.

Why will Amazon not let you return them?

See if a local school or specific teacher can use them. If I lived near you, I'd pay you for them and take them off your hands. I use envelopes around that size when I take students to Québec every other year to carry their passports and other important paperwork. Oh well! See if a teacher can use them. We can find a use for almost anything!  |

You know the minute you sell or donate them, you'll find a use for them. Murphy's Law.

Amazon is limiting a lot of returns I've noticed.
But - as to the envelopes ... remember those "coin" size envelopes, and the little fanning "album" ... make big one!
But -- I use that size all the time, but 200 is probably good for a (remaining) life time!

Why will Amazon not let you return them? No idea. I knew I had the wrong size about five minutes after they were delivered, went to click return, said I ordered the wrong item and 'no return' popped up... I did a 'chat' with someone to ask why, and before I got to that part they issued me a refund, said to keep them, and have a nice day... |

I am tempted to save them for next year, just in case the item that was going inside shrinks to last years size (which fit perfectly...) but the temptation to hand them out at Halloween stuffed with dental floss... Tough decision! |

Donate to your PTA, boosters (any of them, sports or performing arts), or charity.
