North Dakota: Things You Can't Mail During The Holiday Season

The holiday season is here; we're running around shopping, looking for gifts for our friends and family members.

If you're like me, many of your family members are scattered across the country. It's not easy doing something special for them and/or exchanging gifts from long distances.

If you're trying to mail your friends and family members gifts through the postal service, you should know that there are several things you CAN'T mail, and some of them are surprising.

According to USAToday, the International Postal Inspection Service issued a reminder that there are items you can't send in the mail and many of them are dangerous.
