CAP Hampers 2021
Information for CAP Christmas Hampers.
The CAP Hampers this year will have 3 components
$50 voucher for The Warehouse
Handwritten Card
Treat Box to the value of $50
We will provide you with a box to fill. The idea is to put in it some 'goodies' that you wouldn't ordinarily buy, to give to a client for Christmas. Wrap each item individually, then once in the box, wrap the box, and write the card.
The Treat Box
Usually, we check the boxes to try and make them all equal in value. This is quite time consuming, and also with the possibility of Covid restrictions, may be difficult to achieve. The box you wrap will be delivered as is to the Client, and we are confident that you can fill this well.
The idea is to spark some joy for the client with a few luxury items. Who doesn't like to receive a wrapped parcel, and have no idea what is inside? This is not supposed to be an Emergency Food Parcel, but something memorable and encouraging.
Points to note:
No alcohol, although other beverages are fine, eg. sparkling grape juice
No money
Nothing perishable.
If the box is too small, please do not attach extra bits to the box; find a box of a suitable size and use that instead. Everything should be contained in one box.
Do not put the Warehouse voucher in the box, put it in with the card, leave unsealed and tape it to the outside of the box.
Although we will try, the card and box may not stay together (simple logistics) so please don't say something like "I hope you enjoy the Roses"
There are 3 loose categories of items to go in the box.
Chocolates/sweet stuff
Christmas decorations
Other
The thinking around this is, while treats often do fall into the 'sweet' category, we don't want it to be all chocolate. So you can include things like a Christmas Decoration, Christmas Crackers, a specialty tea, a small tube of pretty hand cream (can be used as a pressie for a female relative if no girls in the house!) If you include nuts, please make a note on the outside of the box in case of allergies.
We hope you have fun putting this together, and we value the prayers that you offer up for the client that you are blessing.
