Description

BACKGROUND—FIELD OF INVENTION

This objective of this invention is to provide a mailable novelty message kit which is cost effective and can serve a wide variety of useful purposes, such as a greeting device, advertising premium, fundraising device, souvenir, or business gift.

DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART

The conventional way of mailing a message is in a container or envelope. Decorations can be added to the container or envelope but they are soon discarded since they serve no useful purpose after the opening the package and reading the message. The message is normally discarded after reading or kept on display for a short time in the home or office. The novelty message kit will be proudly displayed at the home or office where it will be a conversation piece, stay on display for many months, years and become a keepsake.

Another objective of this invention is to offer an alternative to the traditional greeting devices, advertising premiums, fundraising devices, souvenirs and business gifts.

Another objective of this invention is it allows the user to relieve stress from everyday life.

The U.S. Pat. No. 4,842,140 to Mesnard(1989) discloses a novelty mailer for mailing correspondence via civil and commercial entities. A thin-walled transparent shatterproof molded plastic container, much like a flask, which houses a parcel or written message, along with decorative materials. The novelty mailer is flat, to facilitate its purpose of being mailed by civil or commercial postal services, much like an envelope, it is adorned with a label on one side and a mailing label on the other side.

The novelty mailer was either never received due to damage it ascertained during the mailing process or when it was received it was soon discard since it was unattractive, smashed and unsightly. Also the decorations in the novelty mailer themselves had become broken and unpleasant from the mailing process.

In this respect, the novelty message kit according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides an alternative to the traditional greeting devices, advertising premiums, fundraising devices, souvenirs and business gifts and allows the user to relieve stress.
