May is Military Spouse Appreciation Month
Thank Them For Their Strength and Ability to Overcome Challenges with a Care Package from My Hero Crate
Military spouses are heroes in their own right. They hold down the household and take care of the children and pets while their military member loved ones are away. They move from location-to-location each time duty stations change, readjusting to life and meeting new friends out of necessity. And they endlessly support their enlisted spouses.
So it makes sense that the U.S. would dedicate a month to appreciating military spouses - affectionately called MilSpouses. How will you thank yours for all that they do? Here are a few ideas for celebrating!
A Day of Pampering
Anybody, and we mean anybody, would love a day at the spa to get a massage and pedicure. A massage will help your milspouse relax, but it also is really good for helping to heal body aches and pains. A pedicure doesn’t have to include colorful nail polish. It can be a rejuvenating experience and an opportunity to remove dry, callous build up and get a professional toenail trim.
If a visit to the spa isn’t in the cards, order them a Women’s Relaxation Gift Set or Men’s R&R Gift Box from My Hero Crate.
Household Chore Takeover
If your MilSpouse spends their spare time keeping your home in top shape, give them a few days off from it by taking over the cleaning routine. Sweep, mop, dust, and scrub your heart out, while they put their feet up and enjoy their favorite television show. Or, save up spare change throughout the year to spring for a maid service for one month!
A break from keeping house provides the perfect time to enjoy a Mom’s Luxury Gift Set from My Hero Crate.
Chef for a Night
Don your “Kiss the Cook” apron and cook a special meal for your MilSpouse. Don’t forget to include an appetizer - perhaps a small charcuterie board to share - and a tasty dessert for later in the evening.
Supplement your charcuterie board or cheese board with some delicious crackers found in one of our signature military snack boxes. If you’ve received one as a gift, then you already have it in your house, ready for building out the perfect antipasto!
Military Care Packages for Military Spouses
Sending your love goes both ways! If your spouse sent you care packages while you were deployed or temporarily away from your duty station, then you know how meaningful it was to receive such a gift that you could share with your friends and use as a reminder that someone back home loves you very much.
Return the favor by sending a gift box from My Hero Crate to your MilSpouse - even if you’re together at home. Receiving an unexpected gift in the mail will render them speechless and so, so thankful for how thoughtful you are.
