The UPS Store | Ship Shape Quarterly

Kids. They grow up so fast. One minute they’re learning to walk, and the next minute they’re asserting their independence. Whether they’re off to summer camp for a few weeks or moving away to college, kids are never too old for a taste of home.

Care packages are a great way to stay connected with your kids or grandkids and to show that you ... well ... care.

Mix it up – Send home-baked sweets, such as cookies, alongside hearty snacks like trail mix. Pack items securely in airtight decorative tins or disposable plastic wear. You can even send a birthday cake by placing the cake in a tin and packing the frosting separately. (Include candles, a card, presents and decorations for an instant birthday party.)
Send a piece of home – Even the most independent kids can miss the comforts of home every once in a while. Handwritten letters and family photos can help alleviate the homesick blues.
Share the love - Many college students end up sharing their care package goodies with friends and roommates, so pack enough to go around. Consider sending treats for special occasions, like Halloween, or to celebrate milestones like the end of mid-terms.
