When someone you love is feeling low, or they aren’t having a great time right now; if you want to show them you care – think care packages!
Sure, you could buy one that is pre-made. And while that is a sweet thing to do, you can go a little further and create a care package from scratch.
There is a certain feeling that you get when someone has taken the time to print, stick, make and source items just for you.
Pet lovers are a special type of person. They care for beings that can’t always give the same level of care and attention back.
Known for big hearts and a lot of love, here are some tips for creating a beautiful personalised care package for animal lovers.
Food
Snacks are always a great idea for inside care packages. You can take this a step further and add treats that are perfect for both human and animal!
If you want to put sugary treats, find some animal-shaped cookie cutters and make some simple sugar cookies.
When you take the time to make the treats yourself, you can be 100% certain of the ingredients. Perfect for vegans, vegetarians, and those with intolerances and allergies.

Decoration
If you choose to send a parcel that will fit through the letterbox, then you have plenty of space to decorate it! It is a fun activity that children will enjoy too.
You’re not alone if you need a little help making your animals look like animals! You can find everything from puppies and kittens to horse clipart online. Those can help you keep the theme going on the care package.
Of course, once the outside of the box is done, it is time to do the inside. You can create a beautiful heartfelt letter and use a similar set of images that match. Farm clipart is usually a pretty good bet for animal lovers.
Adoption
What about those animal lovers who don’t have room for a pet or can’t have the pet of their dreams? You can do something unique here and adopt a pet on their behalf.
No, you’re not going to turn up with an ageing dog. Instead, you can find some charities online that offer an adoption package.
- WWF
- Born Free Foundation
- Durrell
Perhaps you have a shelter nearby that could do with a donation or offers the option to help pay for the care of a specific animal.
The updates and photos offered with an adoption package can be a wonderfully uplifting moment each month.
Comfy Clothing
You will be hard pushed to find someone who doesn’t love an utterly cosy lounge outfit. While countless pet memes can be printed on a t-shirt, if they have a beloved pet, then make a meme out of their own pet!
Every time they reach for this clothing item, it will bring a big beam to their face.
Coupons/Vouchers
There is likely nothing that they love more than the opportunity to spoil any furry friend that they have. Help them by finding a voucher for a fantastic pet store that you know that they will love.
Since their pets are a significant source of joy for them, the thoughtfulness of giving them the ability to spoil their pet is excellent!
