Do you want to be a delight to someone that lives far away? I bet you miss them and wish you could celebrate all the special moments in their life. You might live states away or maybe just miles from your loved ones but that doesn’t mean you can’t be a part of their holiday. Here’s a tip. Deliver happy moments to your family, friends, nieces, nephews, children, or grand kids.
Do you remember those relatives that never forgot your birthday, Christmas or Easter for that matter? No matter the holiday, they sent a card. Be honest, you came to expect the cards and if one ever didn’t come you would have missed it. Snail-mail seem a bit old fashion these days but, who doesn’t like receiving something other than bills. A regular holiday care packages to your loved ones would definitely bring excitement to their day. No, you can’t always be there for those special moments but you can be a part of them.
Here are a few care package ideas:
New mommies: try sending new innovative products they may have not had the chance to try yet.
Nephew/son: cookie mix, chips, combos, socks, sun glasses, duct tape, netflix yearly subscription, water gun, ball cap.
Niece/daughter: Package in a phone case, iTunes gift card, makeup remover, lip gloss, finger nail polish, hair brush, money.
Mom: journal, family picture book, kitchen utensils, festive salt and pepper shakers, night gown, photo book.
Father: t-shirt, golf balls, shaving cream, gas card, fishing hooks, car wash gift card, candy bar, beef jerky, tools.
Grandmother: throw, coffee mug, framed family pictures, wet ones, kitchen hand towels.
Grandfather: Provide candy, pen, hat, socks, t-shirt.
Care packages come in different sizes. The best care packages are the ones filled with love and decorated for the occasion. Make sure to include love notes for those special items.
Yesterday, our bundle of joy received a Easter care-package. He receives one for most holidays from his Aunt Kristie. It has become a wonderful thing we look forward too. As he grows older, this will become such a memory among all the holidays.
