care package
Love by mail
A care package is a box of supplies sent to someone away from home—originally food and necessities shipped to soldiers or disaster victims, now typically snacks, treats, and comfort items sent to college students or loved ones at a distance.
The term emphasizes thoughtfulness: My mom sent a care package with cookies and socks.
Care packages may also be assembled for the homeless or others in need.
