My house, if you haven’t gathered already, is a very geeky house. We love what we love, what we love we really love, and one of the things we love is Star Wars. We even have rules:
1. May 4th is National Star Wars Day no matter what the haters say.

Nothing says you care more than having one of these Star Wars fun packed gift packages, delivered to your child (big or small) or grandchild. Put a smile on their face with a gift box full of games and activities that they will enjoy for hours to come, including a Star Wars themed balloon ready to burst out of the box! (hahahhaha) I found you when I searched “Star Wars Care Package” on Pinterest. My nephew is away at college and we’re doing a Star Wars themed care package for him to celebrate the opening of The Force Awakens in a few weeks. (plus, he loooooves Star Wars) I can’t wait to put some of these ideas to use!!!
2. The ‘first three’ will forever refer to the original trilogy.
3. That being said, the first three will always be superior. Always.
4. Apart from meeting Qui-Gon Jinn, Episode 1 is basically useless.
5. My children can’t watch Episodes 1-3 until they’re old enough to hate Jar Jar Binks.
I thought it was only fitting to celebrate this year’s May 4th with not only a marathon for myself, but a care package for my husband.
Step one: the drawing board
Depicting, of course, a battle from the original trilogy.
Step two: the menu
I found a lot of great food ideas on Pinterest, but not many of them were sendable, so this is what I decided on.
Step three: the shopping list
- Edible Ewoks- teddy grahams
- Han Rolos- mini rolos
- Millenium Falcorn- popcorn
- Jabba Jigglers- gummy worms
- Boba-Q Jerky- barbecue beef jerky
- Wookie Cookies- reese’s stuffed peanut butter cookies
- Star Wars gummies
- Hand-made card with the most romantic dialog in movie history: “I love you.” “I know.”
- Vader’s Little Princess
- Vader and Son
- The Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn, the next of the expanded universe to prepare for the next trilogy ala Disney
Step four: Reese’s Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies
You read that correctly. Reese’s. Stuffed. Peanut. Butter. Cookies. Wow. Just saying it makes my mouth water. They’re absolutely phenomenal. AND they arrived safe and sound and still delicious, even though the Post Office sent our package to Germany and was delivered a week late.
You can find the recipe here. Sorry I don’t have a picture.. my extras didn’t last long enough to pose.
Step five: using the Force
My fully decorated box, Complete with Death Star, Millennium Falcon, X-Wing Fighters, and TIE Fighters. The bottom is decorated with my own Star Wars style crawling text, describing my and my husband’s story. (Franklin Gothic demi is the official text btw, if you want to go with authenticity for your own Star Wars themed care package or party). I got the Star Wars font from dafont.com- my go to website for font ideas.
Step six: the final touches
Star Wars Gift Basket
Yes, that is the seal of the Galactic Empire with crossed lightsabers on the envelope. He’s definitely relates more to the Sith than the Jedi. In his letter, though, I call him my eventual Sith Lord, because Anakin taught us that it’s having children that leads you to the Dark Side 😉
Star Wars Care Package
Thank you all so much for reading! I hope you enjoy making your own Star Wars care package as much as I did. This has definitely been my favorite so far.
