20 Creative Care Package Ideas for Military, Students and Friends

As much as we may try, there are times when we can’t see the people we care about the most. Despite not being able to spend time with them in-person, whether they live far away or simply become busy at work, there are other ways to express your love. For the holidays, send them unique Christmas gift baskets full of wine, cheese and other delectable treats. If they long for a weekend getaway or they’re more on the adventurous side, a fun gift experience makes a creative last-minute present. Not to mention there are tons of unusual and date-night worthy couple gifts and thoughtful housewarming options for any foodie or decor enthusiast. But if you’re looking for other ways to brighten someone’s day, our roundup of best care package ideas can be delivered right to their doorstep.

Let’s admit it: Life can become overwhelming at times. Whether you’re a high school student, college student, recent graduate, office worker, parent or member of the military, it may be hard to find a bit of joy during busy days. That’s why something as simple and sweet as a care package can change your perspective on the week (all while showing you that there are people who support you and notice your hard work). We have assortments for every type of person! Tea lovers can enjoy their sunshine box full of teas, honey and confetti (for flair). Anime watchers can snack on authentic and delicious Japanese treats, while avid book readers can choose their favorite picks of romance, thriller and historical fiction to be their Book of the Month. Some even feature personalized items, including tumblers, decorative trays and jewelry.
