Bringing Happiness to My Loved Ones
For several years I have been sending care packages to my kiddos in college. I recognize how important it is for them to get a little something in the mail to let them know they are loved and support them in their endeavors. On top of which, I love shopping for each one of them and finding just the right items to include in the packages. After each package was received I always got a phone call, or text expressing how much they loved the package. Last summer, on one of those rare moments when I had the three together, I casually mentioned that maybe I should start my own business, providing other parents, grandparents and friends an opportunity to send a special care box to their loved one. All three were in total agreement, "You should TOTALLY do it, Mom!" So you can say, they are definitely my inspiration.
Since then, I have been growing my small business, trying to provide a care package that speaks to the college student. Typically they are themed, some seasonal, but all with the intent to bring a bit of joy and encouragement to the college student. I recognize that not all parents have the time to put together a care package, and some just don't know what to put in there. I work hard to provide a few seasonal decorations to brighten the dorm room or apartment, along with a few small personal items to pamper oneself, and then some munchies to curb the college appetite. Each box is presented in a white craft box, with just a bit of pizazz on the outside- so when the student sees it, it sticks out, grabs their attention and gives them a sense of anticipation of what's inside. As I like to say, it's not just a care package, It's an Experience.
