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.
Steel water bottles are a great addition to care packages. They will keep drinks hot or cold long enough to get kids through their morning classes or an afternoon of studying. They also encourage your student to make her own morning coffee instead of opting for standing in line for expensive lattes. One serving packaged meals are a healthy alternative to a vending machine or a pizza delivery. They are a lot less expensive as well.
Most kids at school can use packages of socks and underwear. You can put together a great care package filled with a dozen pairs of colorful socks along with some laundry pods, and a phone charger and extra long cord. Sending new socks along with laundry detergent might be the incentive your kid needs to actually wash the socks.
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.
Not everything you send has to be practical. Baskets filled with toys, room decorations, and oil diffusers will be a big hit. All kids need some down time. A basket of small items like slinkies, frisbees, paddles and balls, and a basketball hoop that fits over the door will be a great stress reliever especially around finals. You just have to make sure whatever you put in the basket won't break the rules or destroy the room.
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.
