I've seen people on the Kyle thread ask why people send anything to a vlogger's P.O. Box. I've never sent anything to Kyle's P.O. box, but I can tell my story of the first time I sent something to JoJo's P.O. box, even thought I know it's not representative of other people's motivation.
When JoJo first got a P.O. box in 2019, I didn't send anything at first. It's not the kind of thing I would do. However, when he did his first P.O. Box opening video, the only things he got were a can opener and a promotional Walt Life box. JoJo was very happy about the whole thing, even though the apartment already had two can openers. The situation just made me very sad that that happened to someone, especially when he would see that Kyle always got so many nice things in every one of his P.O. box openings. Actually, it still makes me sad thinking about it, that it would happen to anyone, even knowing what kind of person JoJo is and that he doesn't deserve any sympathy from me.
I decided I would send something physically big for Christmas so that it would be extra special and make up for a lack of other people sending anything. I also sent something at the same time for JoJo having achieved 9000 subscribers on YouTube. For the 9000, the first thought in my head was to send a Stitch onesie. I decided against it after looking at it online because I didn't like the way it looked. My second choice was the Stitch plush. I could kick myself for not sending the onesie considering how much airtime the one that someone else later sent him got. Still, my plush Stitch did make a lot of cameos on TikTok.
For the big Christmas present, I decided I would send an inexpensive Christmas tree. It's something that would be useful and be a big deal for someone to send something like that. I also sent an ornament shaped like a Mickey Rice Krispies treat, as a keepsake for him to remember when he bought the real thing for a mukbang. I sent some additional ornaments later that were photo ornaments of Santa, reindeer and elves with the four roommates faces on them.
I think I advised that the tree could be gotten rid of after Christmas since I knew they wouldn't have room to store it, so that was okay to get rid of. As for the other items, JoJo has said on his vlog recently that got rid of the plush Stitch. I didn't see any of the ornaments on his tree this year, so I assume they are buried in a garbage landfill somewhere. I would say the moral of the story is that people shouldn't waste their money sending anything, but on the other hand, he hasn't thrown out yet the Winnie the Pooh or Genie drawings he has on the wall, so people should just send tracings of Disney characters and maybe he'll hold on to them.
