What to put in a care package.

Hey readers,

Sometimes it can be hard to meet people that you care about physically due to time, commitments etc.  So a good way to show a friend or relative that you are thinking about them is by sending a care package.

What to put in a care package

What is a care package?

A care package is basically a package of things that are useful or something that the person enjoys. It is carefully packaged in a box. This box can be decorated with a personal touch and send them a box to their home address in the post. 

You tend to not tell the receiver that you are sending it as it is a nice surprise for them to receive in the post. This can bring joy to them as it shows that you are thinking of them. 

You can buy prepacked care packages on the internet but making your own care package yourself is much better at tailoring to their needs. It also feels a lot more special and gives the idea that you have thought about how to bring it all together for that specific person.

Below I have 55 item ideals that may inspire you, Of course, you don't have to put all these in.  It could simply be five items, whatever you do I am sure the receiver will be grateful for the kind gesture to show them you care.

  1. I love this list! These are some great suggestions. I have never send someone an actual care package, but I do like to send out handmade gifts. However, store-bought gifts are always good too. #PoCoLo

  9. We are in lockdown so I've been sending my book club little books and body scrubs as a surprise. I left it a mystery but most people worked it out. Apparently it was my sort of thing to do. But I got mystery flowers one day and I can't telly uo how much it lifted me out fo my funk. Solving the mystery was as fabulous as the flowers...#KCACOLS

  12. particularly on the grounds that the vast majority possibly consider advanced age when they ponder a high level care order. In any case, in all actuality a clinical emergency could pass on you without the capacity to settle on your own healthcare choices. https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-an-IRS-tax-audit-and-a-tax-investigation-and-which-one-takes-longer
