This series is all about exploring the partners in crime you and I have in our lives. One of the things I want to do is create fun care package ideas for each type of partner in crime in my life. These packages will vary, meaning some will only be brainstormed and not implemented while others will have already been sent.
And honestly, I thought it might be best to start with a Partner in Crime (PIC) Package for my sister. Because hello, that chicadee has stuck with me since she was born (I’m older). Never underrate the quality of your built-in PIC.
Questions to Start
- What’s the goal of this package? To celebrate something?
- How much do I want to spend?
- Is there a time constraint to its arrival?
Anyway, that’s the boring stuff.
A Shutterfly travel mug is always a win (personalize with sister photos) or you can peruse the blankets, pillows, and other items.
This is something that I actually did do for my sister. She loves her travel mug (at least this is what she tells me). And I had so much fun designing the mug with all sorts of silly and beautiful photos.
Extra: You can fill the mug up with her favorite tea, cubed sugar, or maybe just a giftcard so she can purchase her own.
New movies for your sister’s collection is fun and easy. I lucked out because I was chatting with my sister one evening when she mentioned that she really wanted to add to her Musicals genre. We hung up, and I ordered her some new musicals from Amazon.
So obviously, I did this for my sister, too. She told me later which musicals rocked and which she’d never watch again. I was okay with that.
Extra: Add some microwave popcorn and specialized popcorn flavoring to the box.
Jamberry nails are delightful and durable, which is perfect for a woman (like my sister) who goes from her teaching job to crossfit. These nails will keep up with her busy life and still look classy.
Can you guess what subject my sister teaches? You get one guess. In other news, I still plan on doing this for her. So my Devoted Sister, look the other way. If you’re looking for a Jamberry rep, look up Emily. She went above and beyond for me (Jamberry, at the time of my order, didn’t do international shipping. Maybe that will change).
Extra: Send a new polish color, nail file, or a hand lotion.
But you know, if you are broke, and all of this is just plain impossible, there are still ways. Yep. You can still totally make your sisterly PIC’s day. Pinterest can help you out, but I’ll start you all out with the following.
For the record, this has happened. Usually me to my sister because I’ve never been able to wear anything of hers, but she somehow alters my things and makes them look beyond awesome. She’s probably wearing something of mine right now.
And this is here because my sister made one of these once, but hers says “Love”, I think. She’s cool like that.
Go. Overwhelm your PIC’s phone with hilariously true memes.
