What can I include in a care package for parents?

r/

Hi all,

My friend and her fiancĂ© are relatively new parents. Their kid is 16 months now. I had the idea of making a care package for them, especially for my friend as I know post-partum has been a tough experience for her. I’d love some ideas on things I can put in the care package for her and her man. I think parenting seems hard and I just want to do something thoughtful to let them know I’m in their corner and don’t forget about them just cuz they’re parents and I’m not. Here are some ideas I have so far (open to additions and feedback, please!):

  • Certificate for deep cleaning service
  • Certificate for couples massage
  • Book/journal for maternal mental health
  • Quality hand creams, lip balms
  • Dunkin gift card
  • Hand written note
  • DoorDash/UberEats gift card

Note: last time I visited them (we’re in diff states), I got gifts for their kid and some cupcakes + coffee mugs for them. Thank you all.
