halloween care package? - Care Packages

Budreckisgrl0026 · 10-02-2007, 05:18 PM

Any ideas for a halloween package. I wana make it fun and to lift dfs spirts up. Hes really missing me, and especially now since we just found out we are pregnant. I want to send him some good treats for him and his fellow guys and some fun stuff to make him laugh. To make him feel better even if for a little bit. Open to any ideas...

I got some funny stuffs from Walgreens and lots of candies for him and the guys. You can probably send him a scary movie.
Have fun working on it! and congrats on the little bean!!!

I have been working on one for the sailor I adopted...

The funniest thing I got was a gummy frog (it is reallllly big) that you "disect"

it has gummy guts in it and comes with a pick and tweezers. I got it at target

I just did one for my adopted soldier. I went to Kroger and got him:

- a trick or treat bucket
- a goblet with goblin on it
- blow pops
- boxes of nerds
- lil debbie cakes
- safety necklaces in the shape of pumpkins (I wrote on them that I needed to make sure he was safe when he was trick or treating between tents

)
- I threw in a halloween card too

I keep mine kinda cheap but you could certainly make it a scary movie night or send him a mask/costume. You could probably do popcorn balls? I'm not sure how well they would keep on their way over but if you find the prepackaged ones it could be a good idea. I didnt see any candy corn, but that would be a nice touch too.

I have another package to put together this weekend so I'll be checking this thread for more ideas.

EWWWWWWW! That would be great! Where at Target did you find it? Like what aisle? I should put that in my package this weekend!

I have one packed up for matt. I used one of those flat rate priority boxes so it's like rectangle and I put a trick or treat bag inside. I put 3 scary movies and popcorn, 4 little halloween buckets with little love notes in side. candy corn a halloween pez dispenser a goo filled tube with severed heads in it and a bouncy ball with an eye in it. Halloween cards and halloween chex mix.

Those caramel apple suckers are good too... they keep for a while, don't take up much space, and are easy to share.

Lots of sweets!!

Oh...and the cutest halloween card ever!!
