If you had a small box that it would fit into, I (Personally) would go with maggiebee's suggestion THEN put it in the box and use brown paper and parcel tape. Just to make it extra safe.
When I used to send articles through the mail similar to that, I'd simply wrap them in tissue paper and place them in a manilla envelope already padded with Bubble Wrap available from the post office or local office supply store...Very simple, convenient, and safe.
