Best Easter Care Package

Just because your college student can’t come home for Easter doesn’t mean they can’t enjoy an Easter basket from home. It won’t be an actual basket, but a beautifully decorated and filled Best Easter Care Package!

You can purchase the Best Easter Care Package box decorations and tags in our shop.

Best Easter Care Package: Gather Your Supplies

Gather these supplies to create your Best Easter Care Package.

Step into spring with chocolate bunnies and other brightly colored items. This care package will be their last before spring finals.

Target, Walmart, and Amazon are great sources for Easter items.

Here are some ideas:

Supply List:

White Cardstock Paper

Easter Grass

Sticker Paper

Spring Ribbon

Chocolate Bunny – a must!

Shower Steamers

Easter Peeps

Easter Legos – My daughter loves Legos. The set I bought for her is too big for a care package box. She is in medical school and lives near us, so I can add things that are too big. The Easter Legos Connections kits are small and will fit in any care package.

USPS Medium or Large Flat Rate Box – available free at the post office (the printables are designed to fit this size box, but you can cut them to any size you wish.)

Easter snacks

Jelly Beans

Smarties

Nail polish – My daughter also loves to paint her nails. She is a fan of Olive and June Gel polish. You will need the an LED lamp to cure it or go with the Olive and June polish or press on nails. You also can’t go wrong with the OPI Spring colors.

Jumbo Easter Eggs – You will need the jumbo size for gift cards. You can also fill them with candy or money.

**Here are great choices to fill baskets for less than $40!

Best Easter Care Package: Items for boys

Many of the items above are girlie. I have 2 boys and a girl and yes, it is easier to fill a care package for a girl. She is the only one of the 3 still in school, so my sample packages are prepared for her now.

Last year neither son could come home for Easter so I sent them these Easter Care Packages. Snacks, Easter candy, and gift cards rule with them. We also have lots of Easter Basket Ideas for Teens and Young Adults.

Best Easter Care Package: Prepare your Items

The Best Easter Care Package box decorations and tags are available in our shop.

Print the box decorations and tags. You can print the tags on sticker paper or tie them on with spring ribbon. I do a combination of both. I had to replenish my supply of spring ribbon this year.

Best Easter Care Package: Assemble Your Box

  • Print the box decorations from the Best Easter Care Package Printables Set.
  • Tape or glue your box printables. I scotch tape mine to the box. I know some people hot glue them, but they don’t have to stay on the box forever, so tape works fine for me.
  • Add Easter grass to the bottom
  • Load up your box with all of your adorable Easter items.
