"A Day At Home" Package

There are several variations of this package. The idea is to replicate a day with you. First, you'll need a camera. Take pictures of each thing you do. Use your creativity here are a few ideas:

We woke up (take a picture in bed) and ate breakfast (take a picture eating cereal) and then took a shower (take picture in towel). We started the day off by doing some yard work and mowing the lawn (take picture mowing lawn). After our work, we had lunch (take picture with lunch). Then we colored pictures - or threw around a football etc. (take pictures doing activity). We all ate dinner together (take picture having dinner). We had a full day so we were tired when it was time to set down and watch our favorite TV programs (take picture watching TV). Later we snuggled up in our jammies (take picture in jammies) and had a nighttime snack (take picture snacking). We love you very much and miss you! (send picture of kiss goodnight)

Now take all of your pictures (referencing above) and send them with "treats"

  • Pillowcase with cologne/perfume sprayed or maybe a decorated one
  • Several small boxes of cereal or cereal bars
  • Shower Gel or Shampoo or even a towel
  • Grass Clippings in a baggie or dirt from backyard (strange but reminds them of home)
  • Color Books or Football
  • Lunch Snacks
  • New Pajamas
  • Popcorn
  • Recorded TV show or movie DVD
  • Hershey's Kisses
