Once you’ve covered Easter toys, be sure to also include other festive and useful items for springtime in your Easter care package. 

Springtime Supplies

Aside from Easter-specific gifts, there are many other springtime items that can complement the other things in your Easter care package. Add one or add them all — any of these items are great additions. 

Easter Cards and Handwritten Notes

In addition to sending gift items in your care package, it can be nice to include a written message or card wishing your loved ones a “Happy Easter.” Send your loved ones an Easter card to accompany your care package, or include a set of blank Easter cards in your care package as another present! 

Water Bottles

With warmer weather and summer right around the corner, a stainless steel water bottle can be a helpful item to include in your Easter care package. Want to make this gift even more festive? Pick out a pastel or springtime color for the bottle you choose! 

Gift Cards

Do your family members have a favorite store, restaurant, or coffee shop they love to go to? Gifts cards are a great way to treat your loved ones to a nice beverage or meal from their favorite place. Include a gift card for Target, Whole Foods, Starbucks, or any other location. Any and all of these are great options. 

Easter and Springtime Decorations

Want to make sure that your loved ones have everything they need to make their home festive for Easter and the start of spring? Don’t hesitate to include springtime and Easter decorations in your care package. Add one item or many — no matter what, the decorations you include will add extra holiday spirit to your family’s house. 

Notebooks, Journals, and Stationery

If your Easter care package is being sent to any adult family members, notebooks and stationery can be great items to include. Select pastel colors or your family members’ personal favorite colors. Regardless of what you choose, notebooks and other related supplies are practical items that will be useful to your loved ones every day.

No matter what you include in your care package, your family members and loved ones will know that you were thinking of them, even if you are celebrating Easter miles apart. 

It can be difficult to spend holidays apart from family members, but there are other ways to send your love, even if you can’t see your loved ones in person. If you know that you and your family will be celebrating Easter apart, assembling a personal Easter care package can help you wish your family a “Happy Easter,” even from a distance.
