"Open When" Letters

Create a box filled with sealed letters.  You could do this alone or with a group of friends. On the outside of each is a particular need or topic to be addressed.  Inside the envelope can be photos, memes, advice, a short note or letter, a coupon for a drink, a cookie, a doughnut, a gift card to their favorite store, a suggestion of a particular movie to watch on Netflix. This takes imagination, but the goal is to let them know you are aware they will have these days and you want to be a source of comfort to them on these days.  Here are a few topic suggestions:
