I was browsing around, looking for ideas RE gift-wrapping, and I stumbled across a site that gave ideas on how to save money whilst gift-wrapping. Anyhow, one of them read to use unbuttered popcorn as peanuts for shipping. I was just wondering whether if this is something people do? This is the first time I've heard of it, and I found it really interesting, so yeah.. I was wondering if anyone has ever tried this? LOL.

I dont see why not. Just make sure to wrap the gift in something else too otherwise the popcorn will make a mess.
