Message from Maggie:

My nephew Christopher is a sophomore at the University of Illinois.  It his his 20th birthday on Monday so I created a birthday care package for him.  It includes some essentials like razors and (beer!) money, but also some fun food favorites for all that late night studying and a homemade banana bread (in case the only place he’s eaten lately is the frat house).  Find some suggestions on things to include and how to decorate your package below.

Materials:

  • Shipping box
  • Funky paper to line the box
  • Birthday card
  • Birthday banner (Note: I got my banner off of a birthday bag!)
  • Cash
  • Essentials (Razors, soap, chapstick, deodorant, tooth brush, tooth paste)
  • Fun food (Goldfish, Sour patch kids, Swedish Fish, Gushers, peanut butter)
  • Homemade banana bread (Try this recipe!)
  • Gum
  • School supplies (Pens, highlighters, emoji stickers)
  • Silly toys (mini basketball hoop, confetti shooter)
