A Fun Exam Care Package Idea
"One Enchanted Evening"

Here's a fun idea for an exam care package to help lighten the stress that reaches a crescendo during mid-term and final weeks. Most schools will send you information for a "pre-packaged" care package for your exam bound students. While these may be easy to order, they really aren't much fun! So during my younger daughter's stress filled exam prep, I came up with a light-hearted reprieve. It's a 3 hour break from the stress and sure to inject some fun and laughter into a rigorous time! This particular one is really for the girls, but you can adapt it to any group. So follow below for the usual step by step instructions.

Step 1
Pick a theme.

For my daughter and her roommates I thought a "princess theme" would be just perfect. Yes, even at 19, they are still princesses at heart and all princesses need a break from exams!

Step 2
Choose a movie.

This theme is chock filled with great options. Any of the Disney princess movies would have been perfect, but timing was right and the movie "Enchanted" had just come out on DVD. As I have mentioned before, I find great prices and selection at both Amazon and Target, especially if it is a brand new release. So "Enchanted" with Patrick Dempsey was the perfect choice for a fun exam care package!

Step 3
Create Some FUN!

Off I went to Toys R Us and gathered up tiaras! The Disney princess theme must be a big one because there was a huge selection of party goods.. so cake plates, napkins, cups and of course goody bags went into the cart too.






Step 4
Make Goody Bags

What would a "princess party" be without some nail polish, toss in some fun and colorful Mardi Gras type beads and add candy...all into the party goody bags wrapped with some ribbon.. ready for the Princesses! This exam care package will be a great break from the books!!

Step 5
Make a card.

Here's mine.. poem as usual!!

Step 6
Pizza Dinner Gift Card

Enclose a Domino's or Pizza Hut or if neither of those are nearby.. just do a Visa Gift Card so that they can order in dinner!

Step 7
Pack and Mail! You will be sending a smile along with the fun!

Exams may be an unpleasant memory but your exam care package will be a memory maker!
