(Atelier!)
In addition to not having sent a care package in some time, I haven’t received one in just as long. Think twice before underestimating the days of cracking open pricelessly personalized shipments of affection, brimming with everything from homemade Toll House cookies to music mixes to construction-paper drawings from grade-school children.
I’m not normally one to fish for presents. That said, the customized care I currently crave includes:
*One jumbo rainbow-swirl lollipop
*Fingerless
gloves
*A handwritten note
that will make me laugh and cry, ideally all at once
*A blow-wand bottle
of bubbles
*Something kitschy
that’s representative of the sender’s town or region
*A beeswax or
soy wax scented candle
*A surprise,
which should in no way overlap with the kitschy keepsake
Anything without
petals.
Those care packages are pretty special to receive when you are far from the ones you love!

Maybe you should write out that list and send it to the North Pole ;)
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to send a list to Santa Christina, Santa Claus's wife! The Roving Retorter knows whereof I speak :)
ReplyDeleteI would be the person who would send you something kitschy in regard to NYC. Hmm? A miniature Statue of Liberty?
Much luv, jk
