In Japan, millions of people flock to the capital each year for school or work from all over the country. As a result, a lot of people live away from their parents and relatives, who remain back in one’s jikka, or family home in their hometown.
One way people stay in touch is through exchanging care packages. It’s a great way for parents to show their love for their offspring by providing little treats and mementoes of home. But sometimes, parents just go a little nutty, pouring all their love into random boxes of stuff which serve to amuse and baffle their unsuspecting recipients…
If you live a long way away from your family, you’ll know how exciting it can be to get a care pack from your folks -especially if you live in a foreign country and have an embarrassing addiction to a specific type of junk food that’s only available in your country of origin. Sometimes, we end up requesting weird stuff from our parents out of desperation and a sense of deprivation. And sometimes, we get surprises!
Check out this gallery of randomness!
▼ A month’s supply of these umaibo crunchy snack bars? How generous! However, when you consider that these are available in every convenience store and supermarket in the country, it gets a whole lot less cute…

▼ This person’s dad sent them ten 100-yen coins taped to the lid of the cardboard box with a handwritten “from Dad” message. Okay, this one is actually really quite sweet.

▼ Cooking magazines from mama, with a sweet handwritten note. It says… “Try making something yourself.” Excellent parental advice, if a little cold.

Sometimes, it’s not the content of the packages themselves, but the way they’re presented that’s kind of kooky…
▼ “My mother always includes a cryptic message with every care package…”

▼ Sometimes, the implied message is glaringly obvious… it seems this person’s parents are a little concerned about their ability to wake up in the morning without parental intervention…
