Although doing the long distance thing is no fun, an aspect that I do particularly enjoy is sending surprise* care packages. These are what I usually try and stuff the package with:
- Random Gifts (Febreeze candles, BBQ sauces)
- Practical Gifts (hand-warmers, beanies)
- Picture of us together
- Holiday decorations (for applicable holiday)
- Funny Card
And last but not least… Homemade Treats!
{Pink for Valentine's Day}
The treats usually entail some sort of cookie because they travel well- and I also make little goodie bags for his friends too, as I am sure they are all starving grad students. This time I opted for a healthy breakfast bar to help with some New Year resolutions. I hope he and his friends like them!
{Figs are in the middle of an oatmeal crust- very crumbly so might actually be granola by the time it reaches him}
What are things that you all like to put/be put in care packages?
*I actually gave away the surprise for this package because he is a blog follower of mine –oops!
I want a Valentine's care package!!! I'm a starving grad student too. Haha. LOVE reading your blog!
