DIY: Open When... Envelopes!

This Christmas I decided to send a Christmas Care Box to my best friend in the Air Force. Within the care box I included a few "Open When....." envelopes.

Here are some "Open When..." envelope ideas, as well as what to put inside.

               country is depending on him! (He's an airman in the U.S. Air Force)

           In this envelope I included:
               -Sleepy Time Tea Packets
