Sending Some Love (And Some Candy) 120 Miles Away

One of my best friends is away at school. She goes to Babson University in Massachusetts and I'm here in Connecticut. This year has been pretty rough on me and she would always send me care packages to cheer me up. It was always so nice to see my name posted on the "Packages to Pickup" wall in my dorm. I decided it was time for me to return the favor and I finally got around to making a care package for her!

These are the little gifts I put inside:

This little magnet speaks the truth! I don't know what I would do without my daily chocolate fix.

Jelly beans, Godiva truffles and Citrus Gum Drops. All of these items were found at Trader Joe's, an awesome grocery store which has anything and everything organic.

Can we focus on how cute the packaging for the gumdrops are? White and green polka dots make my inner prep explode with joy.

And finally the greeting card. It's by the company Meri, Meri which makes beautiful, whimsical greeting cards and party favors. The price is a little high ($5.99) but the little details they put on the card makes you feel less guilty for buying it.

I can't wait until she receives it. And I only have two more weeks until all my friends are home for Christmas break!
