Pink Care Package Ideas

There are many occasions that are perfect for a pink care package. These tips will help you create the ideal care package for any budget and all interests.

I’m known among my friends for sending care packages. I really enjoy sending college care packages (maybe because I remember how much I appreciated receiving them). I equally enjoy sending homemade care packages and selecting the perfect subscription box as a gift basket style box.

You can find my favorite tips and items to include in a homemade pink gift and also my favorite subscription boxes below.

Occasions for a Pink Care Package

Pink Care Package

Start creating your pink care package by identifying the recipient’s interests.

• What is the occasion and what items go with the theme?
  • For example, pink balloons and confetti would be added for a birthday gift.
• What activities does the recipient enjoy?
  • Books, magazines, word search
  • Frisbee, hacky sack, jump rope
  • Make-up
• What snacks are preferred?
  • Candy
  • Trail mix
  • Chips
  • Drinks
• What practical items would be appreciated?
  • Personal care
  • Boxed meals
  • Cleaning
  • Office or school supplies
  • Socks, gloves, hats, pajamas
  • Gift cards

Then decide whether you want to purchase a prepared gift box, like a subscription box, or put it together yourself.

Go shopping.

Decorate your DIY pink care package if you’d like.

• Decorate the interior of the box
• Decorate the exterior of the box
• Use construction paper and decorative paper.
• Print out and attach Creative College Care Package gift tags.
• Use stickers.
• Use markers.

You can choose to send one box or ongoing subscription boxes for as long as you’d like.

What you need to make a pink care package

Start with your shipping box. This gives you and idea of how many items will fit so you don’t overbuy or underbuy.

Decorate the box if you’d like. You can find 48 Creative care package signs and tags in my shop to help you.

Determine the theme. Think of what items the recipient will enjoy that goes with your theme. Make a list of items and then go shopping for pink versions of the items on your list.

Pink Care Package Hacks

• If you just can’t find a pink version of an item you absolutely want to include, wrap it in pink tissue or craft paper.
• Look through the snack, candy and personal care aisles of your grocery store or department store.
• Check your local dollar store and the discount care of your store.
• Make the gift even more of a surprise by wrapping everything up in pink packages.
• If the care package is for a mom, add children’s activity sets to keep the kids busy so mom can enjoy her own gifts.

These are the types of items I look for when making a general pink themed care package:

1. Pink candy and gum
2. Pink herbal tea and powdered drink mix
3. Pink cookies and snacks
4. Pink office or school supplies
