We have been on lockdown in the United Kingdom since March 23rd. Family and friends are distancing themselves, and while technology is bridging the gap, it isn’t always enough! It’s a highly unpredictable moment, and being so far away from our loved ones might be difficult. So why not send your family and friends a care package using My Baggage? This article will show you how to put together the ideal care pack for Covid-19.
WHAT IS A CARE PACKAGE, AND WHY SHOULD IT BE SENT?
A care package is a thoughtfully packed box full of delights that you may send to family and friends. Most include 3-5 meaningful items, such as a favourite chocolate bar, tea bags, cosy socks, memorable photographs, or more. A common item for couples in long-distance relationships is garments sprayed with their significant other’s perfume or cologne. There is no right or wrong way to put up a package; all that is important is that you include goods that are meaningful to you and your loved ones. Keep it simple; when we are simply shopping for necessities, you don’t have to buy things to put in this box; you may make them as well!
The objective of sending a care package is to let others know we are thinking of them. The current scenario might be extremely daunting, especially if you are separated from loved ones or forced to isolate yourself alone. This is an excellent approach to express your care and thinking about them during this difficult time.
WHAT CAN’T YOU SEND THE NITTY-GRITTY?
OBJECTIVE ITEMS
Items prohibited from shipping should not be included in your care package. Examples of such goods include aerosols, liquids (gels, fragrances, or cosmetics), pharmaceuticals, and batteries. If you include these products in your shipping, your care package may be delayed and may not be delivered.
FOOD
The only food that can be sent is non-perishable packaged foods that do not include liquids. It is critical to observe this rule! Depending on the location to whom you are sending your box, there may be customs restrictions governing what food items are permitted into the country; you are obliged to double-check before shipping.
