For the NS Boyfriends 🫡
After lots of digging, I finally found the care package photo that I made for him 9 years ago when he was serving in NS!! He eventually became my first and last 🥹 How time flies omg.. I’m old. Anyway, thought it would be pretty cute idea to share to the girlies whose partner are currently serving the nation and want to give them some encouragement. I’ll walk you through my thought process for each item placed in the box!
🍬 His favourite snack - what better way to cheer a guy up after a long day of training right? Do try to have a gauge of the packing tho, in case it doesn’t fit in your box! (Unless his favourite snack is you 😉 AHAHA)
🍋 Vitamin drink - just a quick boost of the immunity so he doesn’t fall sick in camp!
✨Face/body wipes - for a quick wipe down to freshen up if there’s not enough time for a shower
🧖🏻 Face towel - so whenever he washes his face and wipe wipe he will think of you 😌
🍫 Protein bar - to build’em muscles and energy recovery!
👀 Eyedrops - if he happens to wear lens, I feel that having eyedrops will come in handy!
Last but not least,
❤️ Note/card - show him some love and words of encouragement!
I would used to always buy him different kind of snacks to bring into camp as well! Not sure if this is still allowed or if there are any new rules now. If you’re currently in your NS dating era, I sure hope you guys pull through!

When I was preparing the care package for my boyfriend during his NS days, I realized that it’s not just about packing useful items, but about showing love and thoughtfulness. Besides essentials like face/body wipes, vitamin drinks, and protein bars, adding small personal touches such as a handwritten note or a favorite snack really lifts his spirits. If you’re wondering about the restrictions, I recommend checking the latest camp regulations first because some items like certain snacks or toiletries may not be allowed anymore. Another handy tip is to consider any specific needs he might have, such as eye drops if he wears contact lenses or a soft face towel to remind him of home comfort. To keep things fresh, try varying the contents each time you send a package. Perhaps include a little humor or a motivational quote in each note. It makes the whole experience more meaningful for both of you. Personally, I found that consistently sending small care packages helped strengthen our bond despite the tough NS schedule. Also, if your partner is feeling stressed, consider adding stress-relief items like essential oils or simple self-care essentials (where permitted). Even a Baygon spray meme or a playful touch can add some laughter and ease tension. Overall, the key is to tailor the package to your boyfriend’s preferences and needs, making the package not only practical but also deeply encouraging during his National Service journey.
