Let’s be honest: Easter isn’t really the emotional holiday that Christmas and Thanksgiving are. It can be easy to overlook it in your care package schedule. But the truth is, because there are usually fewer expectations (or, eggspectations, ha!) around the holiday and because it’s not typically a holiday with a lot of gifting, Easter can be a ton of fun when it comes to happy mail.
And it can be really easy since there are tons of fun Easter- and Spring-themed items that are easily accessible online and in stores. Think pastel-colored candies, Easter-themed snacks, plastic eggs, and other items are great additions to a care package. (And if you’re worried about sending chocolates and other meltable candies, try these ideas for treats that don’t melt but are tasty, shelf-stable, and edible.)
