See the bunny on the front of this box? His official title is “Rabbit of Approval,” but long-time Annie’s customers know him affectionately as “Bernie.”
My hubby LOVES their Shells & White Cheddar, so I sent him several boxes of this on his mission. (The picture shows a family-size, but individual-serving boxes are smaller and lighter.)
It occurred to me recently that Annie’s products are perfect for Easter packages — Bernie shows up on nearly all of their awesome organic treats.
Check out an independent user-rating on blogger Creative Carissa’s site — complete with Bunny Tail decoration the pasta boxes have become so famous for!
My cousin has a beautiful singing voice, so while she was on her mission, we sent her several arrangements to sing as musical numbers in her ward. One of my favorites is Tom Fettke’s “Beautiful Savior.” You can purchase a copy of the sheet music here.
The music is drafted as a choral piece, but in my family we’ve used it as a solo or duet piece several times. I know it works comfortably in a woman’s range, but I’m not sure about a man’s range.
Lip balm, you say?
First of all, it’s not just any lip balm, it’s Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm. This is a product suitable for men AND women, don’t worry. Plus, there are a ton of different skin care products to try, and they are all quality.
(And don’t bees make a cute addition to any Spring-themed care package?)
Check out the Men’s section of the Burt’s Bees website, or head to amazon for a Head to Toe Starter Kit.
If you’re looking for a more personal gift for your missionary, check out Lily Gene on Etsy. She does these cute prints of special places, and can even add little details like a postage ink-stamp of a particularly important date. It’s all totally customizable! With all the options she offers, there are several fun things you could do. Either send the missionary a map of the country or state where he’s serving (what a great idea for a farewell or homecoming gift!), or send a print of his home state / country. Lily Gene also has a “someone in _____ loves you” custom postcard and other ideas. Lily Gene was featured in this month’s InStyle, so check out the shop before things get backed up! I can’t stop thinking about what a cute idea this is, not only for missionaries, but anyone!
This could work as a New Year’s care package, a one-year package, or a send-off gift. I made my time capsule in about 3 minutes with an empty food canister, scissors, glue, and paper. The steps are so simple, it’s not worth explaining. Just check out the pictures below:
Include a kit to help your missionary make his time capsule. I printed out a few “prompts” with phrases like, “Resolutions I have for this year include…” and “Currently, my favorite place to eat is…” and “Three predictions I have for this year are…”
