Welcome to Blogmas Day 18! This weekend is really the last couple days that you can mail off parcels or order gifts online with any hope that they will arrive in time for Christmas. I put together a care package for a family member who does not drive and took it off to the post office today. The line up was long but moved quickly.
I love those big boxes of assorted biscuits that appear in the grocery stores at this time of year. They are excellent quality, taste delicious and usually come in a pretty tin that you can keep for storing your own baked goodies. I put in a few other goodies as well as practical things like a package of disinfectant wipes which are hard to find. Remember that it isn't so much the dollar value of the contents but the feeling of pleasurable surprise that is elicited at a time of year when we have to continue to shelter in place. Care packages that are a mix of treats and the practical are always well received. You should also keep in mind the cost of postage as, depending on how heavy the package is and where you are sending it, the cost could far outstrip the value of the contents. As well, there are still a number of countries to which Canada Post has stopped service, so you should check first before taking your package to the Post Office.
