This reminds me of the "homesickness prevention pills" my mom sent with me to sleep away camp.

They were just unlabeled M&Ms, and I knew that, but I'll be darned if those things didn't cure the homesickness right up!

they reminded you that your mom cares about you. they are special because you didn't just buy them yourself, but your mom sent them to you as a gift.

just like when my grandma made me cookies.

This is so wholesome
