Father’s Day Care Package

This post is sponsored by American Greetings. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Father's Day Care Package // katheats.com #fathersday

What do you do on Father’s Day when your father lives in a different state? In the past, I have sent him coupons and gift certificates in the mail to be used when we were together or we have celebrated a few weeks early or late at a family gathering. But this year, inspired by the card section at Target, I decided to send him a package in the mail with a bunch of little treats.

this !

Mazen and I had so much fun picking out cards together. Of course, he wanted all of the superhero ones or cards with crazy googley eyes and I was on the hunt for the perfect message inside!

We finally picked out a variety of cards for all the dads/granddads/father figures in our lives. We found a little something for everyone, from silly to sentimental to Star Wars themed.

I love the message behind their latest campaign — “A card is just a card. But in the right moment, it means everything.” So true with a surprise care package of treats he will love!

To go with our card, we hit up several stores to collect items that were special and that we thought he would enjoy.

Our package included:

-New gardening gloves and seeds for his garden

-Virginia peanuts (he is nuts for nuts!)

-A nighttime reading light

-UVA-colored jelly beans (to pick at the Duke fan in him)

-A pound of Virginia coffee

-SARDINES (he loves them)

-Locally made chocolate toffee

-And a picture of the parts of a flower that Mazen made in school.

And of course, we both wrote in the card and placed it on top! Spiderman theme won out ; )

I have warned my dad not to read this blog post so as not to spoil the surprise!

And a head’s up – Target’s Cartwheel app has a 10% off offer on Father’s Day cards if you’re heading to buy some!

My dad says thanks to American Greetings for sponsoring this post : )

    What a cute package and idea! This post is so fitting because it actually relates to my first tattoo, my mother’s signature from my high school graduation card. I keep it in my side dresser, and if I feel down or question myself, then I read her words to me. Today marks 11 years ago that we were told she had passed away, but I have her message with me at all times. Some think tattoos are trashy, etc., but it has brought me a lot of comfort. Thanks for sharing their message. 🙂

    Whenever I ask my dad what he wants for Father’s Day or his birthday, he just says for me to succeed. And I’m at a loss at really what to give him, because his eyes he kind of thinks that I’ve already failed since I didn’t pursue medical studies but rather went into the art! Sorry Dad!

    My husband picked out the same Star War’s card for his dad! For my dad we bought a spoon that says “Grandpa’s Ice Cream Spoon” and made him hot fudge to put on his ice cream. We did Father’s day last night since he is in town and right before he opened his gift he was talking about how he is addicted to ice cream so it was the perfect gift!
