A Romantic Care Package is an assortment of items that you gather and put together - in a basket, shoebox, mug, or box - and give to your love. They are ideal gifts for those in long distance relationships and can usually be mailed with ease.

What to Put in a Romantic Care Package

Put careful thought into the things that your love likes, such as a certain candy or a magazine, and include those things in your care package. More ideas...
  • A rock, a small jar of sand, or a sea shell you found on a walk

  • Their favorite candy and snack food
