We may be apart during these uncertain times, but we're not alone. While we are able to stay virtually connected to friends and family, sending along a surprise care package can do so much to lift someone's spirits. You don't need any specific reason to send a care package — it's truly the thought that counts.
The best care packages are chosen with your recipient's tastes and interests in mind, but you can make them as minimal or as massive as you want. Here, we've selected 12 different care package ideas that'll make their day, or maybe even their whole week.
This sweet surprise from Seattle Chocolate includes a stack of 10 truffle bars and a goodie bag of assorted truffle flavors like Rainier cherry, crunchy peanut butter, and coconut sea salt.
Each of these treats has a creamy melt-away center that's nothing short of irresistible.
Until you can split a bottle of vino with them again, sending a wine sampler from VINEBOX is the next best thing. Even its reviewers have noted that this particular box provides a great way to explore a world of new wines while staying at home.
This care package includes 12 different 100-milliliter bottles of French red, white, and rosé wines, along with tasting notes and pairings for each one. These single-serve portions are perfect for virtual happy hours, and allow them to try lots of new varietals without having to commit to popping full bottles.
Puzzles are all the rage right now, and Areaware's Little Puzzle Thing sets contain about 70 pieces each, making them perfectly bite-sized for beginners.

Milk Bar describes this care-package-worthy tin as a "cookie cornucopia," and we detect no lies. It includes one of each of the legendary bakery's six famous cookies, all individually wrapped. (There's a 12-cookie pack available, too.)
Between the dryness in the air, the constant glove-wearing, and the frequent washing and sanitizing, our hands have seen better days. At-home manicures are an integral part of quarantine self-care, which makes The Everything Box from Olive & June a great care package idea.
This massive set includes a nail polish remover pot, a brush for touch-ups, a pair of nail clippers, a nail file, a buffer cube, and the editor-beloved Poppy universal polish handle, along with seven nail polishes of your choice, a top coat, and cuticle serum.
All of Mouth's gift boxes are fantastic care package ideas, but we're particularly keen on their Happy and Healthy Box, since it offers healthier alternatives to the usual salty-and-sweet indulgences.
This wide-ranging, nine-piece box covers everything from popcorn to peanut butter, and we can almost guarantee that there'll be something in here that they've never tried before.
If you already know that they're a Glossier stan, what are you even still reading for? The beauty brand's foundational Skincare Set, which includes the Milky Jelly Cleanser, Priming Moisturizer, and Balm Dotcom (of your flavor choice!), is a ready-made care package.
