Holiday care package / treat box ideas

6 replies

We've not been able to have a holiday this year due to my toddler's health condition, but we're finally at a point where we can have a few days away self catering in October in the UK.

As a bit of fun / because I like doing this sort of thing, I want to make each of us a little holiday care package for some little luxuries.

Eg for my husband - warm socks, bottle of beer
Me - nice soap (I don't even know what counts as nice soap so do send ideas)

My almost 2 year old - a few small toys off Vinted.

But basically I'm struggling for ideas. Budget is low but will look on Vinted. Just want to make it feel more special.
Any ideas welcome - thank you!

I can recommend Emma's soap (handmade in Devon). I've bought from there several times. Maybe something like a hot chocolate stirrer. If you drink, a little bottle of Prosecco/wine/premixed cocktail. Some chocolates or nuts/crisps/crackers for snacking. Bubble bath, lip balm, face masks. Maybe some colouring books and pencils for your little one. Have a lovely time!

A film for you and DH for a movie night in? CEX have DVDs down to a 50p if its an older film you want to watch
Snacks, something you wouldn't normally buy but wont break the bank like lindt balls or similar
Anything location specific for the little one so if you are going to the coast a bucket and spade, even in october the beach is fun! Stickers if they like them,
