Deployed soldiers are sent many thoughts, prayers, and packages during the Christmas season. But I feel like we forget that they are missing out on other holidays too.

My husband loves Halloween – when we were dating we would dress up together and throw a big party. After the kids came along, he helps pick out their costumes (& eats their candy). So when he was deployed, I had to send him a Halloween care package.

It meant a lot to him that I was thinking of him and remembered that Halloween is his favorite holiday. And sending him decked out boxes of love was one of my favorite things to do while he was gone.

Here is a list of 10 creative and creepy Halloween care package ideas that caught my eye on Pinterest

13 Days of Halloween

This blogger put together a Halloween countdown for her son. Each number corresponded to a creepy Halloween icon. For example, to represent the Boogey Man she sent a Halloween-themed pack of tissues and gummy booger candy.

I love this idea! I might even do it with my girls at home! Who says it has to be a care package? It’s too cute to resist!

Eye Can’t Wait to See You

There’s not much creepier than that feeling of being watching. So imagine opening up this box to dozens of googly-eyes staring up at you! This would be a good care package to get the kids involved in. Someone has to help stick all those eyes on the box!

This package doesn’t really have a theme, as much as it’s decorations are just awesome! I love that they used things that you can pick up at your local Wal-Mart or dollar store. The fake spider webs and the skull garland are my favorite parts!

Decorated by the Kids

My kids loved helping me decorate daddy’s care packages! This package was made sweeter by using their hand-print spider and Frankenstein to decorate the flaps. The hardest part of putting this package together was finding wrapping paper that would be suitable for Halloween.
