The mail man delivered the parcel. (meaning box)

My mother opened the parcel after it was delivered. (box)

Her father wanted to buy a parcel of land. (a portion of land)

The problem of kids being disrespectful is part and parcel of a bigger problem. (The phrase "part and parcel" originates as a legal term to describe the land someone owns.)

As I stood on a parcel of ground my 5th great-grandfather once owned, I held and looked through the parcel of family keepsakes that my parents handed down to me.

We decided to bury a metal box containing a parcel of our family's heirlooms on a corner of the parcel of land that my 5th great-grandparents owned. I imagined they would like the pictures I placed into the box and wrapped it with a bow.

I did not want the keepsakes parceled out to my siblings and cousins. (parceled out = split up among; divided up )
