Care Package Post #2

I posted about the items we got for our little guy, but I never got a chance to share what we found for the foster family. Our son's foster parents are in their late 60's. We had some ideas in mind, but went to the mall with open minds. :)

Luckily, I found exactly what I wanted for great prices.
For the foster mom, we found a Coach wristlet. It was on sale at Dillard's for less than $30.00, so we really did not spend too much on it.
It is still cold in Korea, so I thought they might appreciate some new chapstick. The foster parents also have 2 grown children (in their 30's) and I'm not sure if they live at home or not. If they do live at home, this gift could easily be for them instead of the foster parents.
I know it may seem strange, but apparently vitamins are really popular gifts for foster parents. The tag you see on the top of the bottle is how I labeled all of the gifts. Each item was labeled with our son's name and case number. I tried to make the labels as "cute" as possible. I cut circles out of brown/tan paper and wrote the information in black sharpie. Then I used a hole punch to make a hole and I attached the tags to the items with natural colored ribbon.
We got the foster dad socks. We were originally planning to buy him a nice tie. However, we found out that he is retired. Although it is typical for Koreans to often dress very nicely, we just were not sure if he would wear a tie a lot since he is retired. We found socks that we liked so we sent those instead. Raleigh loves argyle socks. I think fun socks are appropriate for any age bracket.
So... we sent vitamins, socks, chapstick, and a wristlet. We also wrote a letter to the foster family thanking them for taking care of our son. We had it translated into Korean. There is a sweet girl on one of the adoption forums that offers translation services. She translated our letter very quickly. I wrote the same note (in English of course) in a card and then folded the printed Korean version and placed it in the card.
Here is a final look at our care package. Raleigh is a master at packing!! He claims it is from all his "border trips" when he was a child. He grew up in Mexico City and each summer they would drive to the United States to spend summers with his grandparents. All of that packing as a child stuck with him! We fit everything except the vitamins into two gallon size baggies.

We hope our son's foster parents know that the items were chosen with love.
