My name is Jonathan, I am a 21 year old student at Warwick, I went to Colombia in the summer of 2006, and wanted to share a little bit of it...
First of all, it was of little surprise to me that Colombia has had just five reviews on the country in general. This can probably be accounted by the fact that when you take one look at the foreign office website, all but a handful of Colombian provinces are blacked out as "no go zones." Whether feeling adventurous or just plain stupid as some would claim, I chose to kindly ignore this advice, and venture out to what has now become one of my favourite countries in the world, and despite my age, I have been to over 30 countries across all the continents.

Cigarettes and chewing-gum

A "QVC ring sizer",
Earrings and umbrella.
"A pair of knickers and a skirt"
A "bobble for hair, and clips,"
A bra strap and a safety pin,
A button and a zip.
A sewing kit for all of those
And gloves in various shades -
One pair in soft cream leather
Another in black suede.
An aerosol ...

Jiffy bags made by Jiffy have been available for several years now I think they go back to the 1950?s.
Jiffy bags are handy padded envelope bags that can be bought in a variety of sizes some as small as to 164 x 285mm, then several sizes upwards to 247 x 387mm, probably even larger ones available.
The original bag is a golden brown heavy duty paper. The padded filling can be as simple as shredded paper. The envelope closures are one you peel to reveal a sticky surface this will then stick to seal the bag and contents.
