Need some suggestions for care package for mixed ages
I've posted before about my family out West. We have not seen each other in 11 years. I send them birthdays/holidays but never gifts.
Either last yr or the yr before I sent a care package for the family as a summer fun pack.
Nothing major, bubbles, snacks, candy.
She has 2 boys, 10 and 7 and one girl who just turned 5 (May)
What can I send for all to enjoy. I dont know what kids those age ranges like. Since I have to mail nothing too large. I will add chocolate for the mom since I know she loves that, not sure what I will ad for the dad
TIA

What about a family movie night? You can get popcorn and the fun popcorn bags, a new movie and some candy. You could get a classic movie too..:like honey I shrunk the kids.

Re: Need some suggestions for care package for mixed ages
I like the family movie night idea.
My son is 8 - he likes board games, too. Maybe the smaller, travel-sized board games that are good for car rides, or to take to the pool or beach?
If you want to go more summer-themed, and they are outdoor pool-beach people, maybe some things like a beach towel for each kid and some inflatable beach or pool toys (balls, floats) that are in small packages until they are blown up. I know my son never has enough beach towels! I always like that as a gift for him, because we can always use them with camp and pool/beach days.
My son also loves any kind of outdoor sporting equipment... don't know how much space you have, but even things like small nerf footballs would probably be liked. Or other outdoor games, like corn hole or even just water guns?
Maybe you can get an insulated tote/cooler type bag and pack all of the beachy outdoor stuff in that, as well as some snacks/treats.

Love the stomp rocket idea. I've seen glow in the dark ones recently too. Water guns or water balloons with the tool to fill them. Pool floats if they have a pool.

These are super fun, we used them camping this past weekend, and the kids all had fun playing with them at night. They go pretty high!
