I see many "lost" packages in your future now :-) Then again, he may not have Internets. And to add to the geek fire, I remember the local grocery store in my small home town in Maine in the early 1980's did the Green Stamp thing. I was probably about 6 or 7 years old and I remember collecting them to redeem for each letter of the encyclopedia set they offered. I got up to like 'M' and they stopped the offer. I was so sad.
