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 can fill a practical care package with things like socks, laundry pods, and a phone charger with a long cord. Socks are a great idea and not something that everybody thinks about. Socks are one of those things that always seem to be in need. Sending extra pairs in a variety of colors will be appreciated.
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.
Things can get tense on campus, especially during finals. A basket filled with toys will make a good diversion between cram sessions. You can fill it up with small items like frisbees, paddles and balls, and an over the door basketball hoop complete with foam basketball. Squeeze toys and slinkies are good ideas for a kid with limited space and tests coming up.
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.
