We went to Popeyes a few weeks ago and I couldn't help but grab a few honey packets for Max! Their honey is something special and I figured he would appreciate a few of them on the ship!

Trader Joe's has THE most amazing chocolates, just saying..

Swedish Lingon berry chocolate from Ikea of course!

The box! Got that Dr. Who vibe going on with the wreath decked Tardis & jolly Daleks!

Again, I wrapped all the items for this month! This one should make it to him before Christmas too!

I sent this package a couple days after Thanksgiving to make sure that it arrived before Christmas at least!

Contents:

7 home-made hot chocolate packets

3 bags of Lindt chocolates

a Christmas tree

dried salami

crackers

Reeses Christmas trees

3 carmex chapstick tubes

Cards Against Humanity

S, a novel

I'm not sure if any of you have ever played Cards Against Humanity, but it's pretty great! The best part is you can never play it exactly the same way. It's like Apples to Apples, but for adults- I think that's a good description! ;D

The box packed with all the goodies!

All of the gifts individually wrapped, we love owls! So of course it made sense to roll with the theme!

Owl & National Park Themed Care Package

This one was extra special because the theme was National Parks & owls! Max proposed to me on our backpacking trip to Sequoia Kings Canyon National Park, and one of our favorite places is the Red Woods up north. So, naturally I included all of those parts! We love to go camping and hiking, so when I went on a camping trip with his family last weekend and he wasn't there it was a little rough. Instead, I picked him up some of our favorite things for camping, and a bunch of extra chocolate for this package! 

Contents:

Bear Claw caramel corn

24 Open When letters

Huckleberry White Chocolate Bark

Insomaniac jacket from Escape from Wonderland

Krave Chipotle Jerky

Sweet Potato Chips

Men's Health

New Orleans Chili Chocolate

BBQ Potato Chip Chocolate

Nature Valley Oats & Dark Chocolate

I've done a round of open when letters for Max before, but he asked for more!!  Here is the majority of the cards that I included for him. =)

All of it almost packed!

Yay! I'm so excited for him to get this package!! I just know that he will love it!!

Pokemon Care Package

Contents:

6 different comics from Free Comic Book Day

1 Ash Ketchum hat

1 bag milk chocolate honey combs

1 bag dried pineapple rings

1 Pokemon X game

1 game guide

1 bag Bate's Nut Farm kettle corn

1 rock (special meaning)

1 Pumpkin Reeses

1 bundle cinnamon sticks

1 bottle Huckleberry honey

1 card

The month of October had one Free Comic Book Day, so I sent him the six that I had picked up. All the other comic titles we normally follow I upload for him digitally and keep safe here at home! ;D

If you haven't figured out already, the theme of this box was inspired by the new Pokemon X & Y release! I'm not sure if he's going to really want the game guide, but I got it anyway because I remember what an awesome difference it made last time when we played Diamond and Pearl. So we'll have to see if he likes it! :D

I know he misses home alot, so I picked up some of his favorite treats from the mountains! Last time I visited him in Hawaii we tried a chocolate covered honeycomb, so that's a new favorite! The huckleberry honey is his favorite from our camping trips, and kettle corn is always delicious! I tucked in the cinnamon sticks to help his rack smell better and give him a little holiday taste from home. 

Healthy Halloween Package!

I'll admit this one was a bit challenging, because with Halloween so close Max was asking for healthy food items. Too much chocolate, cookies, and candy in the last one I guess? ;D

Contents:

Emerald Smores Nut blend

Cinnamon Apple Sauce

Men's Health

Dried Mangos

Dried Apple Slices

Mandrin Oranges (with the pull tab)

Cracked Pepper & Olive Oil Triscuts

Ghram Crackers

Beef Jerkey

V8 Fusion Jice

Nutrition Nuts

1 letter

This is his favorite, I take mini post it notes and write him little notes/tips in the Men's Health magazine. It's actually pretty fun for me, I learn a lot, and it's interactive for both of us! ;D

(I just blurred out one of my tips, because of reasons.)

This was cool, I think it's sort of new but it's high antioxidant mix with dried fruit and nut blend.

This shipped awesome actually! I know he gets bored of all the same food/drinks so I double zip locked this and it shipped just fine. =)

 

This is new too, sweet and healthy mix ; )

Set of letters I included inside to keep him a little preoccupied for so many days straight out to sea.

Halloween Care Package

 Fall is one of our favorite times of year, so of course I had to step it up for an awesome Halloween care package! 

Contents

1 bag of KitKats

1 Fall Out Boy shirt

Box of Kettle Corn

6 packs cinnamon apple sauce

1 can Pirouttes

1 Lindt chocolate bar

1 bag reeses

1 pack dried mangos

1 CBW rice krispie treat

1 bag Caramel Apple Pie cookies

1 sleeve oreos

1 bag Pumpkin Spice Kisses

1 batch home-made pumpkin almond cookies

36 home-made Caramel filled Apple Cider Cookies

These are the Caramel filled Apple Cider Cookies, a hands down favorite! When they come out of the oven it's practically impossible to not force feed yourself like five right away. I showed some self control this time and only ate three.

I went to a Fall Out Boy concert end of September and got Max this shirt! Their new stuff is amazing and we both love them! Plus their album art went perfect along with the Halloween theme. So win!

Box stuffed full of awesome.

I need to make a mental note to make this next box healthy!! ;D

Lilly has to supervise everything I do because she's incapable of giving anyone space. She's cute, so it's okay I guess. =)

Final touches on the webs! Head up to anyone else wanting to do the webbing, it goes a VERY long way! This was maybe only a handful once it's all spread apart.

I'm starting to get more creative on the outside too! I've always included the stamp, but now I found this awesome comic themed duct tape at Michael's! That way Max can recognize his box right away from everyone else's. =)

Off it goes! :D
