Student Care Package Ideas

For a college student, a student care package is a wonderful way to show that you care, as well as providing them with useful food and supplies. You can send your student a care package for many occasions – a birthday or holiday, finals week, during an illness, or just because! Care kits can be customized to include items for your student, their needs and the occasion for the care package.

The first thing to include in any student care package is food. Healthy food is a great choice at any time. Students always need to feed their minds and bodies, and having healthy snacks or easy meal options is a great way to do this. Keep in mind that the snacks must be non-perishable though! Some healthy (and shelf stable) food ideas for student care packages include:

• Nuts, such as almonds, peanuts, pistachios, cashews or mixed nuts
• Variety of granola bars, including fruit bars, chewy granola bars or crunchy granola bars
• Dried fruit or fruit leather
• Popcorn
• Trail mix
• Crackers
• Tea, coffee or drink mixes
• Sunflower seeds
• Organic chocolates, cookies or candies
• Beef jerky
• Instant oatmeal
• Pouches or kits of tuna and chicken salad
• Pretzels, tortilla chips, pita chips or baked potato chips
• Cereals (especially mini boxes)

Birthday Care Packages

To brighten your student’s day, send a celebratory care package for their birthday or a holiday! In addition to some healthy food and snacks, students love to get fun stuff on their birthdays, even if they are small toys or gadgets, such as water guns, bubbles, stress toys, lip gloss, playing cards or magnets. You can even throw in a copy of their favorite DVD and some pictures from home. For a fun twist, send birthday themed hats, party favors, plates and napkins so your student can throw their own party!

Finals Week Packages

College students always appreciate getting a package, especially during the stress of finals week. In addition to some snacks to feed their brain and body, throw in some stress balls, fun colored pens, pencils, highlighters, erasers and note cards. Other fun surprises include chocolate-covered espresso beans (for after those long nights of studying) or a fun reusable water to stay hydrated and healthy.

Get Well Packages

Getting sick is never fun, especially if you are a student who is away from home. You can throw in some tissues, vitamins, tea bags or sports drink mix, chicken soup mix, cold medicines, cough drops and band-aids along with some healthy snacks to speed healing time.

Moving Out Packages

Did your student just move into his or her own apartment? This is a perfect time to send a fun and practical student care package. Useful items for a new apartment-dweller include: sewing kits, first aid kits, stain eraser pens, single use packages of laundry detergent and fabric softener, cleaning wipes, sponges and magnets.

While all of these care packages are fun and useful things to send to your student, you can always get creative and mix and match to create your own student care package.
