Care Package #8: Hometown

All of the care packages I have sent to Daniel in Virginia were just practice for the real care packages he would be receiving in Korea.  After three weeks in Korea he finally got an address and I was able to send him his first overseas package.  Not to brag, but I'm pretty sure it made his day.  

For his first package I wanted to try to bring home to him by making a hometown package.  If Exeter could be known for anything, it would be the water tower, so I made sure it was included in the decorations.

The box was filled with some of his favorite foods, America and Exeter themed items, and things he forgot...

Nutella

Pretzels

Red Bull

Cracker jacks

Local newspapers

Beef jerkey

Granola cereal

Mug decorated with pictures

Jolly ranchers

Exeter T-shirt

Exeter postcard

Not pictured:

M&M snack mix

Mac and Cheese

 DVD

and a few things he forgot at home like

sunglasses, headphones, etc.

I already have two more boxes ready to go... I think I have a care package addiction problem...

Care Package #7: Easter

Between school finals, visiting Daniel, gymnastics competitions, and getting him ready to deploy, I haven't had much time to post my boxes.  But here is the Easter box I sent him while he was still in Virginia...

I shoved everything small enough into Easter eggs and added things that would be in a kid's Easter basket...

Annie's cheddar bunnies

Annie's cocoa and vanilla bunnies

Gold bond

beef jerkey

silly puddy

Reece's and Snicker's eggs

Cliff energy shots

Mio iced tea

robin eggs

iced coffee packets

Hot wheels car

M&M's (the boy loves M&M's so I got him some in every

flavor: chocolate, peanut, pretzel, peanut butter)

This was the last package I sent him in Virginia. Unfortunately Daniel's in Korea now :( so the rest of the packages will be going across the world.  He's still in temporary housing so although I have a package ready, I can't send it to him yet.  More posts will be coming as soon as I can send them to him...
