Valentine's Day Care Package

 I shipped another package off to Alec. This time I added some homemade cookies!

I found this cute tin at Target and knew it would be perfect for mailing some cookies. I cooked up 2 recipes and filled the tin up. 


I gathered all the materials I bought to send with it: his favorite Pepperidge Farm cookies, some almonds, some lotion, some cute Valentine window clings, a coloring book and a Van Gogh themed bookmark. 



I stamped up some fun Valentine hearts on the tissue paper and enclosed a card too.

    1. He happily dug into the cookies right away and was pretty surprised I managed to find a Van Gogh bookmark after having just gone to see the exhibit with him.

  16. Such a cute care package! What a good mom you are. Because shipping is so expensive these days I usually pay a company to ship products to my grandkids for the holidays. I sent them a box of Kruger cookies this Valentine's Day. They loved it!

    1. Yeah shipping costs are definitely high; in fact the postal worker and I were joking that it would probably be cheaper for me to drive there and hand deliver it myself!

  22. I love all the extra little touches you add to his care package. We sent so many of those over the seven or eight years we had someone in college.
