Looking for a great way to show someone special that you care about them? Maybe it is your college student who is living miles away at school or a military deployed spouse or child or how about your teen who is away at summer camp? A care package is a wonderful way to send your love, thoughts and a favorite goody to your loved one. Everyone loves getting a special package in the mail full of yummy treats, special notes and pictures to lift their spirits.
My cousin's daughter spends two weeks every summer at a summer camp that is located a few states away from her home. She enjoys the summer camp but like most kids she does get a little homesick. Each summer her mom packs up a box full of special treats, notes and a handmade card from her little brother and sends it to her at camp so she knows how much her family misses her and loves her. Not only does she feel their love from miles away but she can cherish the memory of these special care packages long after she grows too old for summer camp.
If you don't have time to get creative with your care package don't worry, Gifts.com has got you covered! Gifts.com has created these unique and FREE Care Package Printables so you can dress up your package package. Box flap decorations you can cut to size, cute tags you can decorate and matching stationery are some of the printables you will just fall in love with!
