In my opinion, the only thing more fun than receiving a care package is putting one together. My younger sister Phoebe is a sophomore in college and I love collecting little surprises to send to her at school. (I think she likes them, too!)
Before I mailed the first one back in September, I decided to take a few photos to share with you!
I added:
- Homemade treats (I baked chocolate chip cookies and packaged them in glassine envelopes with washi tape)
- Beauty products (locally made lavender soap and lip balm)
- A few little candies (Trader Joe's green tea mints and a bubblegum lollipop)
- Something fun (neon ping-pong balls from Target and a decorative notebook I bought downtown)
- Something useful (mounting putty for hanging posters)
- Pretty packaging (plastic storage bin from JoAnn Fabrics)
The coolest moment was when I realized everything fit perfectly in the plastic bin!
Tell me...what was in the best care package you ever received?
And for those of you who have a dorm to decorate, don't forget to enter the StickyGram giveaway! It's open until 5 pm EST tomorrow.
