NEVER, NEVER, NEVER use packing peanuts. They are a HUGE NUISANCE to get 
rid of, they fly all over the place when you try to unpack them.  I have 
gotten so angry when people ship peanuts to me that I've re-packed them 
in a box and shipped them back, at my expense.

Bubble wrap is far more manageable, and can be loosely crumpled to 
provide good cushioning within the package. Even crumpled newsprint is a 
lot better -- at least we can burn it as kindling or put it in the 
recycling bin :)
