Pro tips to make your fall care package extra special

Read
  • Use kraft paper and gold ribbon for the packaging.
  • Include a handwritten note with a cozy quote or a personal message.
  • Add fall-themed confetti or pressed leaves for the vibe.
  • Think about their personality: go practical or purely indulgent based on what they need.

Care packages are such a beautiful way to show someone you’re thinking of them, especially during the cozy, pumpkin-everything season. Whether you’re mailing it to a loved one or building a box of joy for yourself (because you deserve it too), these ideas will make your fall care package both aesthetic and memorable.

Once the fall box is on its way, holiday shopping is next. My Western Chic Gift Guide has the buckle belts, boots and cozy layers I’ve tagged on LTK this season.
