For the second care package, consider including a mix of iconic Australian snacks, practical items, and items that showcase Australian culture. Here are some suggestions:
Tim Tams – These chocolate biscuits are a must-have and are beloved both in Australia and abroad. They can be enjoyed on their own or with the famous “Tim Tam Slam” technique.
Vegemite – This classic spread is uniquely Australian. Include some toast or cracker samples to incorporate the proper way to enjoy it.
Lamingtons – If you can find or make lamingtons, these sponge cakes coated in chocolate and desiccated coconut embody Australian sweetness.
Pavlova ingredients – Send some meringue shells or a recipe and the key ingredients for this famous dessert.
An Aussie-themed drink – Consider adding a bottle of Bundaberg ginger beer or Aussie wine, which can give your friend a taste of Australia.
Sunnies and a hat – A stylish pair of sunglasses or a classic Aussie hat (like a wide-brimmed Akubra) can be useful and fun.
Australian-themed merchandise – Items like coasters, fridge magnets, or a keychain featuring iconic Australian imagery (like kangaroos or the Sydney Opera House) make for great souvenirs.
Local spices or sauces – If your friend enjoys cooking, consider sending some Australian bush spices or sauces like BBQ sauce, which they might not have easy access to.
A card or letter – Personalize the package with a handwritten note explaining each item and your thoughts behind choosing them.

By combining these elements, you’ll create a thoughtful and enjoyable care package that continues to showcase the best of Australia while maintaining a personal touch!
