My son's birthday was last month, so I gathered a few of his favorites to ship him.

Some of the other care packages I've sent him include a St. Patrick's Day Care Package, an Easter Care Package and a just because package. More ideas are listed at the bottom of the post.

WHAT TO PUT IN AN BIRTHDAY CARE PACKAGE
To make it fun, I gathered lots of party supplies to include in his care package. I included some fun birthday stickers for inside the box.Then I browsed the party section of the store and found a bunch of fun things to send.
One of the favorite things I found was a Feliz Cumpleaños candle. He is on a Spanish speaking mission, so that was perfect.
One of the best part about birthday gifts is opening them. So I wrapped a lot of the items.
PARTY SUPPLY IDEAS
- happy birthday banner
- balloons
- light up happy birthday
- cake mix / frosting
- birthday candles
- sprinkles
- cupcake liners
Since he is serving a mission, I ordered this print and framed it. Luckily the glass survived shipping :)
You can customize the hair color and skin tone and add your own description at the bottom. They also have options for sister missionaries.
You can order your own from Sugar Coated Canvas: Elder with Jesus Watercolor Sister with Jesus Watercolor
She also has options for military, or kids and babies.
Since my son loves Star Wars Legos, I got him a few sets.
Instead of sending them to him, I sent him pictures of them. It seems kind of lame.
But I know he would have just ended up sending them back home. He moves too often to want to take them from place to place. And he's obsessed, so he wouldn't leave them behind.
FOOD AND SNACK IDEAS
Aside from the birthday cake and frosting, I just sent a few of his favorites.- jerky
- trail mix
- protein bars
NON-FOOD CARE PACKAGE IDEAS
- a new tie
- B.O.M. Socks (I got the church carpets edition since he loved the foyer florals so much.)
- missionary and Jesus watercolor (mentioned above)
- Legos (also mentioned above)
As always, I want to share my missionary cookbook. You can print it off and send it to them. Or you can send it to them digitally. It's full of EASY things for missionaries to cook.
