I knwo a lot of people that send some sort of Teddy Bear to actors. Not a big, bad teddy bear from "Create-A-Bear" or anything, something distinctive, yet simple. And if you know their going to have a dressing room/somewhere to put it, they might place it in there and see it everyday and should you meet them one day and mention it, they'll remember you!
Well that's how it is for most stage actors. I couldn't disagree with "Miley Cyrus Fan" more. If you're object is to save as much as you can on postage, why bother even writing. But I would, as he sort of suggested, make sure you know the celeb will get it, and don't send food unless you are specifically dropping it off at the venue, day of and it is securely wrapped. They still might not eat it or touch it, so I wouldn't suggest food either. I've only heard of one instistance of this anyway, during the Broadway run of Jekyll & HYDE, when the celebrities were starring in the title role, someone made rock-star SEBASTIAN BACH a basket (dropped it off before a performance however), and in the basket was chocolates, beer, and some other random food stuff. Now, Sebastian was one of the few "rock-stars" to be on Broadway so it really is unheard of and I wouldn't suggest it.
I think a MUG is a fantastic idea. Just when you wrap it, don't make it look suspicious, and make sure it's a clean package, and hope it doesn't break. A keychain is another good idea.
And since when do people not like getting a package in the mail? And aren't celebrities people? Carolee Carmello (Broadway star) sent me a mysterious looking package. I opened it. She sent me an umbrella! So it's really not that weird.
Actually, I know of a story of I believe Robert Cucioli (Broadway star of Jekyll & Hyde) (sorry for so many Jekyll stories!!) and I thikn he said someone gave him a teddy bear (probably where I got the idea from above) and he has put it in every dressing room of his since he got it in 1995, and sees it as his good luck charm. The gift you send could be this for the actor!
My only other advise is don't send to someone who already has too much fame, especially people like Brad Pitt (poor example but whatever) or people who are really in the spotlight right now. I would really only send to people who are up&coming, and aren't too well known yet, because not only will they like it the most, they will more than likely keep it!?
My last bit of advice to you is that since it looks like you're probably not from where the actor is from, I would as said before send him something from there. He'd probably really enjoy it!
Best of Luck!
