***GIVEAWAY CLOSED***
Care packages. What a great way to say "I'm thinking of you" or "I miss you". I have never sent one though and really think that it would be a great thing to receive! Especially if I was away from home for an extended period of time. You know what would be REALLY nice? Sending care packages to our troops over seas. In a church I used to attend, the ladies all got together and organized care packages for our soldiers overseas. We gathered toiletries, stationary items, candy, snacks, etc. It was great! Best of all, it was for a good cause.
Well, if you are looking for an idea for the PERFECT care package for anyone, or just for yourself...I have a great company to introduce to you today!
GoPicnic is a company that offers ready to eat meals for people on the go, or for those who are looking for a really great gift idea for a new mom, college student or newly married-going-on-a-honeymoon couple! Whatever your need, GoPicnic will have something for you.
Here is more information about how and why GoPicnic was founded...
GoPicnic's founders developed the concept of the shelf-stable picnic meal in 2004 for a major US airline whose existing buy-on-board fresh food service program was costing it millions of dollars annually due to high levels of waste from unused meals as well as incremental personnel expenses stemming from the need for in-flight food preparation. The shelf-stable snackbox solution that the GoPicnic founders created to address these issues generated profit for the airline for the first time in its food service history and provided customers with a reliable quality product at a good value. Recognizing the many benefits such shelf-stable "picnic" meal programs could bring to a wide array of other industries, the GoPicnic founders expanded on the original concept, making nutritious high-quality shelf-stable meal solutions available to new markets and clients.
What is really REALLY nice about GoPicnic is the fact that they offer a nice line of Gluten-Free, Vegan, Vegetarian and Kosher products. So if you or someone you love is on a special diet, you can still bless them with one of GoPicnic's meals!
For this review I was sent a Comfort Food Care Package. In it I found some really yummy treats that I am going to "share" with you...not literally. :)
This would be a perfect care package to send to someone who has been away from you for awhile as it has a little bit of everything in it. Something sweet, something salty and something chewy. I was very eager to dig into my care package! Here is what my Comfort Food Care Package contained...
~Dark Chocolate Dreams Peanut Butter
~Classic Pretzel Chips
~Geraldine's Italian Wedding Cookies
~Surf Sweet Gummy Bears
~Annie's Cheddar Bunny Crackers
~GoPicnic Turkey Stick & Crunch Meal
~Biscoff Cookies
The first thing that I tried were the Biscoff Cookies. These are the most common cookies served on airlines and are very good! They kind of taste like a gingerbread cookie. My hubby spotted the gummy bears and they were quickly consumed. (I did get one!) Also, when hubby found out that there were Italian Wedding Cookies in this box his eyes got VERY big!
He loves Mexican Wedding Cakes and so these are very close to those. We enjoyed trying these buttery, nutty and rich cookies. Mmmmmmmmmm....they are SO good!
The GoPicnic Turkey Stick & Crunch Meal is so handy! The box opens so you can keep all your food in one place...all I can think of is when you are driving alone in the car and need to eat while driving. You can just open this box, put it on the seat next to you and all your food is right there...contained...and not rolling around your car.
The Classic Pretzel Chips are unlike any pretzels I have ever seen! They are paper thin...very crunchy and so tasty! Hannah and I enjoyed these with our lunch today. Then, there was the Dark Chocolate Dreams Peanut Butter.
I made Hannah her Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich today for lunch and instead of using our ordinary peanut butter, I used this Dark Chocolate Dreams Peanut Butter. Can I just say that she LOVED it?!? She ate her WHOLE sandwich, which is rare for her.
GoPicnic also offers Picnic Meals, which are completely balanced meals...rather than just a snack. These would be great for your munchkins to take outside on a sunny day to enjoy!
All of GoPicnic's products can be purchased either directly from their site, or you can also order from Amazon. You can also set up automated deliveries by selecting shipments every 1,2 or 6 months. That way, you can keep your loved one feeling especially loved! :)
So, in my opinion...GoPicnic is a wonderful company! Their care packages are all so great. I love the food selection in each one and how there is just enough food for several snack attacks! The pricing is also very reasonable and affordable. I would definitely recommend GoPicnic for anyone looking for an extra special gift for someone that they are thinking of.
