We have been locked in the UK since March 23rd. Family and friends are self-isolating and while technology bridges the gap, sometimes it just isn’t enough! It is an incredibly uncertain time right now, and it can be difficult to be so far from loved ones. Why not surprise your family and friends by sending them a care package with My Baggage? This article will walk you through how to create the ultimate care package during Covid-19. What is a care package and why should you send one? A care package is a thoughtful box of goodies that you can send to your family and friends. Most contain 3-5 items that have a special meaning, such as a favorite chocolate, tea bags, cozy socks, sentimental photos or more. A popular item of clothing for long-distance couples is one that is sprayed with their significant other’s perfume or cologne. There is no right or wrong way to put a package together. All that matters is that you can include items that are special to you and your loved ones. Keep it simple, at times like these when we only shop for the essentials, you don’t have to buy things to put in this box. You can create them too! The purpose of sending a care package out is to remind friends and family that we are thinking of them. The current situation can be incredibly overwhelming, especially when you are far from loved ones or need to isolate yourself on your own. This is the ideal way to show you how important you are and how you think about them during this time. How can you send a care package? You can send your care package with us!

The next step is to print out your custom forms and attach them to your box. A courier will then collect your item from your address and deliver it to your onward destination. You can track your package and receive notifications of its journey so there are no surprises. In addition, My Baggage has taken additional measures to ensure that your delivery is sent safely and without contact. All drivers have access to disinfection and protective equipment if necessary. The essentials – what can you not send? Prohibited Items Prohibited items cannot be shipped, you should not include them in your maintenance package. These items include, for example, aerosols, liquids (gels, perfumes, or toiletries), medicines, and batteries. If you include these items in your shipment, there will be delays in your maintenance package which may not be able to be delivered. The only food you can ship is non-perishable packaged items that do not contain liquids. It is important to follow this rule! Depending on the country you are shipping your box to, they may have their own customs regulations regarding the food they allow into the country. It is your responsibility to check this before shipping. 6 Care Package Ideas You Should Try! Juices flow, we have put together six ideas for care packages.
