In the Box I've included the following:
- Lonely Planet Vietnam, Cambodia, Loas, & Northern Thailand Book - He loves to planning for our vacation, I figured this will give him more ideas
- Time Magazine - Travel Edition
- 1,000 Places to See Before you Die - So that he can start picking out our next trip
- Paper Fortune Cookies - I saw these at Michaels, in the Smash section and thought "How Cute" They didn't come out as cute as I thought they would but I am sure he will get it
- Graham Crackers-He has been asking for these for a few weeks now and I always forget them
- Individual Bags of Goldfish - He really likes pre-packaged individual sizes of snacks so he doesn't over eat. Goldfish are his favorite
- Pop Corn - another good snack to have on hand
- Granola Bars- just a snack that he likes
- Candy Corn - impossible to find this time of year, but I got lucky and found it while on a mini trip to Las Vegas
- Mio- He really likes stuff like Mio to add to his water
This box was featured on an Instagram Page! Check it out. @militarycarepackageideas I get a lot of inspiration from this page!
Quick Facts about care packages:
- I use the Large Flat Rate box from the Post Office
- 5 sheets of standard scrapbook paper will cover the inside of the box
- I use scrapbooking supplies to decorate: stickers, cutouts, photo corners (always use photo corners so that he can take the picture off of the box and use it)
- It takes 7 days to 15 days to get there. (from Los Angeles to Kandahar)
