Many of us have older relatives and loves ones who we simply don’t get to see on a regular basis. Me? I have a crazy aunt whom I love dearly! She is in her 70’s, but don’t tell her, because she thinks she’s still 27.
My aunt is my mom’s sister and she’s always been like a second mom. Especially after my mom passed away at the young age of 62. My aunt had only one child, a son, so she spoiled my sisters and me rotten with girl stuff.
I have a ton of great memories, but two really stick out: one year when I was about 10, my aunt made a mud hole in her backyard and let us play in that mud to our heart’s content. Another year, she took us to the candy store, handed us baskets and said, “Get all you want.” Whaaaat??? That was unheard of! No wonder I remember!
When Tandem Lane approached me to check out their service, I was thrilled! Here’s the deal: this is a monthly subscription box service, but it’s sent to your older relatives and loved ones. Each box includes notes and photos from you (you provide these via computer to Tandem Lane). And each box has goodies and fun things. It’s a great surprise for your loved ones each month, and it shows them that you are thinking of them.
When my aunt received her Tandem Lane box, she was puzzled at first. She wasn’t expecting anything in the mail. When she opened the box and saw all the goodies, she was floored! Who would send it? Then she saw my note and the photos. I cannot tell you how thrilled she was. Not only did it make her day, it made her week and her month! She loved looking at some current photos that she hadn’t seen, and she loves displaying them or putting them in her purse to show to her friends at the Garden Club. She has bragged to everyone about receiving this box!
You can do a one time box, or a 3 or 6 month subscription. A 6 month subscription is less than $20 per month and INCLUDES shipping! Really? You can bring a ton of joy to your loved one for less than $20 a month? That is priceless. It takes almost zero effort on your part to make a huge impact.
Check out Tandem Lane and remember…Mother’s Day is in just a few weeks! Sign up now and your loved one will receive a welcome card. And your note can always say, “Happy Mother’s Day”!
