me too DG.
You do have to think carefully about what you send though, i have received sweets when I am on a strict diet, pillar earrings when I don't have pierced ears and worst of all a lavender bag when I am allergic and sneezed for two days!
That's the beauty of selling handmade jewellery - I will always have something similar to what was purchased, and I can be pretty confident the buyer can use it if they like it (I never include earrings unless they've already purchased some).
I used to get the odd message letting me know I'd 'mistakenly' included something they didn't buy and they'd be happy to return it, so now I try to remember to put a little 'with compliments' or 'thank you for your repeat custom' kind of note in with it.
When I was primarily selling clothes, I used to include cosmetic samples (sealed in a plastic bag, so no accidents occurred during transit), and thankfully no one ever complained about allergic reactions etc. 
Twice now I've received toffees in a package (different sellers) - the first ones were unfortunately rather awful tasting, but the thought was sweet, even if the lollies weren't. 
I've received the fluro yellow string from a seller too, with other jewellery findings, so I figure it's intended as stringing material (to make lanyards, phone charms etc with what was purchased).
