Care Package Ideas for College Students
Journals & Pens
If your college freshman loves to keep a journal, make sure you keep them well stocked. Pick up some simple notebooks and gel pens at your local craft store or take it up a notch with a keepsake journal and fountain pen.
The Kaweco fountain pen is a great favourite for those who like to take notes with a colorful flair.
The Palmi Grained Leather Journal is available in a wide variety of colors and is made from the finest Italian leather making it look much more expensive than it is.
Toiletries & Personal Care Items
College students are often living on a tight budget. Keep them supplied with some splurge-worthy body products and give them a spa-in-the-dorm experience. Body Butter and Body Wash by Anak Cosmetics were created for people who value sustainability, beauty, and love for nature.
Replacement Items
We all know that brushes break, hair dryers may quit working or earbuds get lost. Don’t overlook the obvious things that college students need. Send replacement items when you hear that something is broken or lost.
The new Flex Gentle Brush from British M is a patented flexible gliding wet brush with a breakthrough moving maze-shaped design that is extra gentle, ventilated to speed hair drying, and detangles all textures.
Fun Snacks
Any college student can go to the local grocery and buy a bag of chips, but not everyone knows about PopArt Snacks.
