12 Best Care Package Ideas - Thoughtful Care Packages for Friends, College Students, Military, and Nurses - GoodHousekeeping.com
Amazon
Whatever the reason, there are times in life when you can't be with the people you love most. But even when you're not physically there to show them how much you care, there are plenty of ways to tell them from afar. Care packages — whether it's for a nurse on the front lines, a college student feeling homesick for the first time, a military member away from loved ones, or a stressed-out friend who needs some self-care — are one of the best ways to do so. Take a look at these thoughtful care package ideas for inspiration, or shop from the pre-packaged options if you don't want to deal with the hassle of packaging and delivery.
As you brainstorm ways to make the boxed gift tailored to the recipient, keep in mind that the cost of care packages can quickly add up, especially once you factor in shipping and delivery. So, be mindful of each item's weight and size as you craft your personalized gift. It'll all be worth it in the end, especially once your box of love, happiness, and well wishes arrives at their door.
