Best Ideas For College Student Care Packages

By Cherry Mercer


When your child or loved one is away for college that does not mean you stop communicating with them. Of course, modern technology has taken care of that and have made a quite impressive job but personalized and heartfelt messages or gifts such as college student care packages have never lost it's magic and will always seem better than a simple instant message or an email.

There are indeed a lot of ways to stay connected with your kids as modern technology took really good care with that, however sending stuffs which they could most likely use and be entirely grateful about is in one way or another, necessary. Being a parent, you know how hard it would be in a university having your first taste of independence and perhaps on real life.

There's a long list of choices that you can choose from, such as food items, school supplies, personal care products, to medicines or vitamins, quarters, gift cards, printer cartridges and personal letters and so on. However, with a lot of choices to choose from this could actually backfire and become confusing to some.

Here are some of the best ideas that every parent should probably consider. For starters one can start packing products needed for a great personal hygiene. This includes soap, shampoo, conditioner, tampons, toothpaste, toothbrush, lotion, deodorant, wash cloth, towel, shower shoes, toothbrush holder and contact lens solution.

You can also include chips, mints, hot cocoa, coffee, tea, candy bars, microwavable popcorn and gums on this package as well. More so, a personal hygiene package is another great idea to consider. These items are very important to maintain a good hygiene but ironically most student fails to buy such items as they do not have the extra cash for that.

Food items could include chips of all sorts, hot cocoa, ramen noodles, canned pasta meals, mac and cheese, cookies, mints, gum, microwave popcorn, instant oatmeal, pretzels, tea, candy bars, granola bars, instant soup and other related products. Instant food items are very efficient as it is very versatile towards the student's busy schedule. When sending food items, do not forget to include some of your child's favorite.

With the constant change of temperature as well as the jam packed classrooms, it is not impossible for your child to get colds. Sending along cold medication, cough drops, facial tissue pockets and herbal tea is more than enough to soothe your child's condition. More so, although money could be great but there's a great possibility for such to go to something unproductive.

Dorm rooms could get as messy, foul smelling and dusty as it could be. Which is why, a cleaning package made it on the top list. Sending in some dusting clothes, surface cleaners, paper towels and air freshener will surely motivate your child to do some cleaning, especially when a small note saying you are coming over is included in the package too.

College student care packages need not to be bulky, what's more important would be its practicality and efficiency. Of course, you can always insert your personal message in between products.
