Going off to school is a real milestone in the lives of young people and their parents. It is not unusual for both to be excited and anxious at the same time. Knowing exactly what will be needed, and allowed, can be difficult. Once the kids get settled in, they usually think of dozens of things they left behind or can't afford to pick up on their limited budgets. Sensible gift baskets for college students Flagstaff families send during the college years will be remembered.
Cookies, candy, and snacks are fine, but kids will need a little more nourishment than that at some point. A care package filled with microwave cookware, a stainless steel water bottle, and some single serve meal packages will have a more lasting impact. You can get large ceramic mugs with vented lids that will heat enough to satisfy a late night hunger attack.
Stainless steel water bottles give kids a convenient way to carry a drink along with them to morning classes or afternoon study sessions. They may prod students into making their own coffee instead of taking a number and standing in line for an expensive and calorie laden mocha latte. The packaged meals are a lot healthier than anything students will find in vending machines or the local pizzeria.
You know that having enough clean socks and underwear is an issue with most young people. A care package filled with colorful socks, all matching pairs, is a great thing to send. You could stick in a long corded charger and some cleaning supplies like laundry pods as well. The laundry pods might encourage your kid to actually use the laundromat instead on bringing all her dirty clothes home to wash on the weekend.
Things like detergent and cleaning supplies are expensive for kids on tight budgets. Throwing in disinfecting wipes and air fresheners with the pods is a good idea. Sending a charger with an extra long cord will allow them to keep the phone with them wherever they are in a room.
Students will love care packages filled with toys, holiday decorations, and diffusers with packages of scented oils. Kids need some down time. They can't study all day and night. A package filled with toys like a mini-basketball and hoop that can be attached to a wall are great relaxers. You can add Frisbees, slinkies, paddle and balls, or anything else that won't destroy the room or break the rules.
You might send decorations in advance of the holidays. This will help your kid's room seem more festive and like home. Candy canes, garlands, and strings of lights will give them a boost, especially if they are stuck in their dorms during the holidays. The oil diffuser with a big package of scented oils will help eliminate stuffy smells and other suspicious odors.
College kids love to get packages from home no matter what's in them. If it is something they can use and enjoy so much the better. It makes a strange place feel more like home.
