A lot of people seem to find the post I wrote for Sarah at Life, Comma, Etc full of Care Package Ideas when they are after Road Trip Care Package ideas or similar. When my spouse and I moved from Ontario to BC, we received a great little gift basket from some of my spouse’s relatives.  It was entirely unexpected and very much enjoyed.  Unfortunately, I only remember a few of the things it contained now.

A Million Road Trip Care Package Ideas

It did come in a collapsible picnic basket quite similar to that one, though it had a zippered top flap to close it up.  It now houses our fishing gear.  (A past time that we are really, really, really bad at.)

So – a nice folding picnic basket or reusable grocery bag would be a great starting spot!

Chocolate Covered Blueberries and Acai Berries - 7oz Package of Delicious Dark Chocolate Covered Blueberry and Acai

Snack Foods

Buy on Amazon

Our basket contained some popcorn.  I would also recommend jerky, nice chips, flavoured tuna with crackers, chocolate covered berries, trail mix, pretzels, clif bars (also in our basket!), fruit like apples and bananas, dried mangoes, or a veggie tray.  You have to rule out the fresh fruit and veggies if you will be crossing national borders though!

Think nice spritzers, Gatorade, San Pellegrino and the like.  Being on the road can be dehydrating, plus most people will be consuming more calories than their bodies need, so pop wouldn’t be the best choice.  Unless it’s a boys weekend away or bachelorette, then all bets are off ;-)  Maybe a Red Bull… but that’s encouraging dangerous behavior!
