Care packages for your college student
I remember being so incredibly excited when I had a care package in college. Now, I will age myself by saying this was all before amazon…shoot before ordering everything online. The thought of something from home or friends was great.
Now, call me weird, but I do love packages as themes. I think grouping items together is fun and puts a bit more thought into it.
Here are some ideas for items for care packages.
Baked Goods-who doesn’t love homemade cookies!
Breakfast bars
Beef jerky
Movie size candy
Mints
Gum
Gift cards to restaurants near their school-dining hall food can get old!
Lip gloss-what college girl doesn’t love the newest TikTok obsession!
Ramen
Microwave ramen bowls
Easy reusable chopsticks
Fortune cookies-bonus for having personalized messages
Microwave popcorn
Battery lights for dorm decorations
Mix tile wall pictures-everyone needs decorations
A little different but search for carnival pennant banners-fun for tailgate decorations
Another fun one is look up flower crown headbands on amazon- great fun for a night out
Post it notes
A journal
Stamps-different, but always needed
Pencils with positive sayings on them
Chapstick
Hand lotion for a backpack-L’Occitane Rose smells so good
Socks-Bombas makes great socks with no slip bottoms to walk in your dorm room
A cute beanie once the weather turns cooler
Holiday decorations-ones that stick on walls are easier to not take up precious space
Animal pillow-you can have a pillow made to resemble their animal they miss
Coffee pods-Harry and David make a great coffee pod-we can all admit some brands aren’t worth drinking
New Tervis or Yeti-both can be personalized
A new book for pleasure reading
