In addition to the Law Enforcement Appreciation Bags that I made a couple years ago and the ornaments that I made last year, I’ve come up with a law enforcement care package to gift to hubby’s shift this year. My hubby helped me pick out things that he knew his shift would enjoy and use. These would be great if you or your kids wanted to put some together for your local officers as well.
Also, if you are shopping for a law enforcement officer, you can see my hubby’s list of gift ideas for law enforcement officers.
The bags we found at Target as they have a variety of colored lunch sacks in their paper products aisle. Once we had the products inside, we punched 2 holes at the top and tied it close with black ribbon and added the little paper note.
Inside our care packages, I’ve included:
- Gum
- Candy
- Granola Bar
- Small Notebook
- Car Air Freshener
- Hand Sanitizer
- Hand Wipes
- Chapstick
Other ideas that we didn’t include but would be a great fit:
- Lotion
- Hot Hands
- Pen
- Gift card to restaurants
- Other Snacks
- Bug Spray
- Vicks Vapor Rub
These were a hit with the shift. Everyone is always so thankful and grateful for a little treat to keep them focused and encouraged.

Do you have ideas of what else would be a great addition to these packages? Share below!

Thank you for such wonderful ideas. I would also include Vicks Vapor Rub. (Some officers put a little under their noses when they respond to calls that may involve a deceased person.)
