Want a great way to show a friend some summer love? Send them a care package! Marta from Marta Writes has started a “How To” blog where she gives instructions on how to do numerous things, including how to create a care package. Marta recommends putting a good book, some craft supplies, and a nice note in your care package. Place them in a cute gift box along with some flowers and you have a great gift ready to send.

In addition to Marta’s suggestions, baked goods and snacks are great items to add to the package. Care packages can bring a smile to the face of someone going through a hard time, show a far away friend you’re thinking of them, or simply give you something fun to make on a warm summer day!

Marta also writes about how to send an ice cream party in the mail!  Sounds crazy, but it’s possible.  Check out how here.

Take some time today to show a friend that you care about them.
