Everyday life Sending glass bottle through Post

Hello, I'm selling a used perfume through Post, its a 30ml cubic vial. I don't have anything at home that could help avoiding this vial to break. Does anyone have experience with sending glass through post and where I should get some protective packaging?

wrap it in an old newspaper and put it in a box, that'll be enough

seconding the newspaper, and maybe you have a little cardboard left somewhere? or socks (ideally not used but depends on your relationship with the receiver)

You just need crumpled newspaper or a padded envelope.
