It's bigger on the inside!

Ever been shocked at how much swag you can fit in a small $4.95 flat rate box? Here's your chance to do it with a Dr. Who theme. You are required to send one small, thoughtfully crafted item (think along the lines of a OTT swap) that will fit into a small flat rate box. Fill the rest of the space with Dr. Who themed extras, crafted or not! Some ideas for extras could be fabric with bow-ties, fez stickers, coupons for fish fingers, yarn to make your own gigantic scarf with, the list goes on and on.

From the USPS website:

Priority Mail Small Flat Rate Box $5.20 8-5/8" x 5-3/8" x 1-5/8"

The Priority Mail Small Flat Rate Box has a retail shipping price of $5.20 — one price, regardless of weight, up to 70 lbs. for U.S. addresses. The international price, for up to 4 lbs., is just $11.95 to Canada or Mexico and $13.95 to all other countries, with savings of 5 percent for customers who ship online.
