Deployed soldiers are sent many thoughts, prayers, and care packages during the Christmas season. But they are missing out on other holidays too.
My husband loves Halloween, so when he was deployed, I had to send him a creative Halloween care package.
It meant a lot to him that I was thinking of him and remembered his favorite holiday. 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.
Halloween Care Package Ideas
13 Days of Halloween
This blogger put together a Halloween countdown for her son. Each number corresponds 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 watched. 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!

Spooky Spider Webs!
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.

Those little bats are so stinkin’ cute! I’m thinking the next time my husband is gone during Halloween we’ll send him a package that says ‘We’re going batty without our daddy!” just so I can use these bats.
