Care Package Ideas and Free Printable!

While Lorne was deployed he told me that whenever anyone downrange
gets a package in the mail everyone starts asking for stuff and trading,
He said "It's kind of like prison, I guess."  haha this made me laugh so hard
but it also made me step up my packages haha.

Thought I'd share some ideas here since I did a lot of googling myself!
"We're so 'Blue' without you!"
I never met a pun I didn't like.
This one is self explanatory.  I just bought everything blue I could think of.
Some items included blue (salt and vinegar) lays stax, blue candy, blueberry pop tart minis,
rice crispies, and I always included a Mio Drink Squeezer, because he likes them and had 
complained about the water.

This one was the last box I sent.  It's a Texas box, because Texas Rox!
I decorated it with Bowling For Soup lyrics "Come back to Texas!"
and a Texas flag Kolton colored.
I included Texas Rangers Peanuts, a Texas Flag, Texas Candy Bar, a jar of 
salsa his mom made from the stuff she grows in her garden.


I told you I love puns, right?!
"Orange you glad this deployment's almost over?!"
Included is cheese crackers, Mandarin oranges, chex mix, reeses, beef jerky.
Basically anything orange.

Here's the free printable to use on the Orange Box,
just set it to fill entire page and it's the perfect size to fit a medium flat rate.



I also did a St. Patrick's Day one with all green,
an Easter one that was a mini easter basket (complete with grass).

Hope these get you started.
