We recommend stuffing any sized postal flat rate box with their favorite homemade cookies, granola, and snacks. This is one reason why I love sending care packages today: they're a fun way to show people how much they mean without having to say very much at all. ![]() The letter inside was brief but said just what I needed to hear…”thinking of you, love mom.” Inside was a book of Mad Libs, several loose pieces of bazooka bubble gum, and a pack of pale green tic tacs that were now melted into one. This made my heart skip a beat and butterflies dance in my stomach. On its surface was my name in my mother’s handwriting. A brief interruption from picking blades of grass, my name was called and a box was handed to me. Nudging me from the warmth of my seat in the hot afternoon sun. For me, resembling a sweet lullaby as I gazed up at the night sky, wishing they were words meant for me. Pulling them out later from under their pillow to revisit them with a flashlight.

Away at summer camp, my counselor did her daily “mail-call” where my name never seemed to be called. It left such a lasting impression on me (I mean, hello Sip and Ship!).

Away from family and friends? Away from those missing pieces of what make you…you? They’re no longer in the next room, at the kitchen table and the cookie jar is empty. When was the last time you mailed or received one? They can reawaken a friendship, reconnect loved ones, and represent meaningful and lasting expressions of love.
