Care Package Treats

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!
