And so, I give you the mini care package! Throughout the year, I’ve send John smaller, goofier packages to supplement the large packages I send once every 2-3 weeks. It gives him a little surprise, and because the packages are smaller, they’re cheaper from start to finish. Usually, I can pack and send a mini care package for less than $12. And surprisingly, they give me more room to be creative. (In the past, I’ve sent a candy sushi box and a Bon-Jovi-themed package.)
This box takes its cue from a movie I’ve actually never watched. (I was an awful child of the ’80’s and ’90’s!) It’s a Honey, I Shrunk the Box! mini care package!
- A single serving bottle of ketchup
- A single serving jar of mustard
- A small “peanut butter pie” complete with a tiny foil pie plate
- Half-sized Smarties
- A gummy burger
- A gummy sunnyside-up egg
- A capsule letter
The capsule letter was hands-down my favorite item in the box. The size of a vitamin, it broke apart to reveal a tiny scroll. I wrote John a letter on it, rolled it back up, stuck it back in the casing, and sent it on it’s merry way.
