Se’if 1א׳

מֻתָּר לִשְׁלֹחַ לַחֲבֵרוֹ בְּיוֹם טוֹב בְּהֵמָה, חַיָּה וְעוֹף אֲפִלּוּ חַיִּים, וְיֵינוֹת, שְׁמָנִים וּסְלָתוֹת וְקִטְנִיּוֹת, אֲבָל לֹא תְּבוּאָה, לְפִי שֶׁמְּחֻסֶרֶת טְחִינָה שֶׁהִיא מְלָאכָה הָאֲסוּרָה בְּיוֹם טוֹב.

It is permitted to send to one's fellow on a festival day a domesticated animal, a wild animal and a bird, even alive, and wines, oils, fine flours and pulse; but not grain, since it still lacks grinding, which is a labour forbidden on a festival day.

Se’if 2ב׳

כָּל דָּבָר שֶׁמֻּתָּר לִשְׁלֹח בְּיוֹם טוֹב, לֹא יְשַׁלְּחֶנּוּ בְּשׁוּרָה דְּהַיְנוּ שְׁלֹשָׁה בְּנֵי אָדָם אוֹ יוֹתֵר זֶה אַחַר זֶה נוֹשְׂאִים כֻּלָּם מִין אֶחָד; אֲבָל אִם כָּל אֶחָד נוֹשֵׂא מִין אַחֵר, מֻתָּר.

Anything that it is permitted to send on a festival day, one may not send in a line — that is, three people or more, one after another, all carrying one kind; but if each one carries a different kind, it is permitted.

Se’if 3ג׳

מְשַׁלְּחִים כֵּלִים אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵינָם תְּפוּרִים, שֶׁהֵם רְאוּיִם לִשָּׁעֵן עֲלֵיהֶם, וַאֲפִלּוּ יֵשׁ בָּהֶם כִּלְאַיִם, אִם הֵם קָשִׁים; וּמְשַׁלְּחִין תְּפִלִּין, כֵּיוָן שֶׁרְאוּיִים לַהֲנִיחָם בַּחֹל. הַגָּה: וְכָל כַּיּוֹצֵא בָּזֶה, אֲפִלּוּ דֶּרֶךְ רְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים מֻתָּר לְשָׁלְחָן (בֵּית יוֹסֵף).

One may send garments even though they are not sewn, since they are fit to lean on, and even if there is kilayim (the forbidden mixture of wool and linen) in them, if they are stiff; and one may send tefillin (the phylacteries bound upon the head and the arm), since they are fit to be put on on a weekday. Hagah [Rema]: And anything similar to this — it is permitted to send them even by way of the public domain (Beit Yosef).
