care package help
I'm trying to make up a care package for a couple who are really stressed.They both work and have now taken on a 9 yr old foster child full time.They don't seem to have anytime to themselves and they are the most caring people i know.I just want to put a small package together just to let them know i care,any suggestions what to put in it??

That's a lovely thought smilingspider ,

As they both work what about a voucher for a dinner out ? Or a box of chocs and wine .
Or some Movie tickets that they can use on a Sunday etc.

Fuel or food card vouchers put into an oil burner dish with a few nice essential oil bottles tucked inside bottom of oil burner - financial help during stress is always appreciated.
 
Good on you. :)

Edit - if you actually personally know this working couple particularly well, one idea for if you yourself have some spare time - do up a decorative computer print out leaflet along the lines of

"This voucher entitles Mr & Mrs XXXXX
to free housekeeping services provided by XXXX (insert your name)
on (whichever) day/s of wk for
XXXXX amount of time up until XXXXX date".
 
Being a working couple, they're probably run off their feet a bit & this may go down well too - but only if you know them well enough.  

Whatever your choice, well done. :)

Thats nice of you to do that. You can add candles, bath fizzers, samples of face masks. gift vouchers, offer them a weekend away somewhere or provide a day spa resort just for them. Bath and shower gels, etc.. marie
