2. Cards Against Humanity and Other Satirical Games

Does your loved one have a dark sense of humor? Send them some funny games like Cards Against Humanity and What Do You Meme. Card games are a fun and easy way to pass the time in quarantine. Adult drinking games and cards also make great additions to funny care packages. 

Need some new game ideas? Check out these popular games you can add to your care package for your loved ones:

• Truth or Drink — Truth or Drink is a simple game. Each player takes turns drawing a card. Each card contains a stirring question that the player must either answer truthfully or turn down and take a shot. Truth or Drink comes in five different levels that vary depending on the type of questions they ask. 
• The Awkward Storyteller — This popular party game requires a small group of people. One person, who is named the designated Storyteller, reads a Story Card out loud. The other players must ask this person questions about their story, which the player must answer using a particular phrase that was pulled by the second player. 
• F**k the Game — Unsurprisingly, this adult card game involves a lot of swearing. The rules are a little complicated compared to the other games, but you are sure to get it after a bit of practice. The basic end goal is to get rid of all of your cards before everyone else. 

3. Screaming Goat

5. Funny and Colorful Socks

Keep your friends warm and comfortable with some colorful socks. Not sure what type of material you should purchase the socks in?
