It&#8217;s a very welcome surprise. Especially among college freshmen. My mom sent me a few packages when I was a first-year student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All you need to send something to a college student is an address. If they live in a house or an apartment it&#8217;s easy to get an address. If they live on-campus you can send it to their dorm or college mailroom. If you&#8217;re not sure what their address is you can try contacting the school&#8217;s student life center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/br><\/br><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to build the best college care package ever<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for inspiration, here are some items you can put in a care package that any student would love to get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Homemade cookies<\/li><li>Healthy snacks (individual size)<\/li><li>Laundry detergent (pods)<\/li><li>Office and school supplies (stapler, washi tape, Scotch tape, jumbo binder clip)<\/li><li>Double face tape (like 3M Command Strips)<\/li><li>Cozy socks<\/li><li>An encouraging note or letter<\/li><li>Carabiners (large and small sizes)<\/li><li>Pens<\/li><li>Stickers (for laptop or water bottle)<\/li><li>Kitchen multitool (like this<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Gentlemens-Hardware-Detachable-Kitchen-Stainless\/dp\/B0746T5YJ2\/\"> kitchen multitool on Amazon<\/a>)<\/li><li>A<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swagbucks.com\/p\/prize\/32296\/Target-25-Gift-Card\"> gift card to a Target<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swagbucks.com\/articles\/check-my-walmart-gift-card-balance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Walmart<\/a>, or a local grocery store (so they can stock up their fridge)<\/li><li>A little mad money<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Even $10 or $20 is a welcome infusion of cash. A student will be thankful to receive this gift. While they won&#8217;t stash it in their<a href=\"https:\/\/upromise.com\/529-plans\"> 529 plan<\/a>, they can use it to buy lunch out, pay for a couple of coffee runs, or just a fun little extra at the store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/br><\/br><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are college essentials?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>College kids all need the same essential things. Bedding, toiletries, school supplies, healthy snacks, basic kitchen things, and so on. However, some things prove to be more important than others<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Storage, storage, and more storage! Containers under the bed, in the closet, and even on shelves are very helpful when living in smaller spaces. A good water bottle is nice to have, especially going from class to class and not having time to stop back at your dorm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A stapler is handy to believe it or not. So is tape (washi tape, duct tape, and Scotch tape), small plastic storage containers, paper clips, jumbo binder clips, and extra carabiners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/br><\/br><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What do you put in a college care package?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s nice to receive some essentials&nbsp; like toiletries or laundry supplies. Some students might also appreciate&nbsp; snacks they might not otherwise purchase like pudding, crackers, or my favorite: fruit snacks. Most students aren\u2019t expecting to receive anything, so no matter what gets sent to them it&#8217;s sure to make their day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use any cardboard box you might have at home that fits all of your items, or if you don\u2019t have one you can purchase one at Target, Walmart, really any place that sells them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have your box and your items you can place them however you like. You might consider putting some tissue paper in to keep the items secure (old newspapers should work just as well).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/br><\/br><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Does Amazon deliver to college dorms?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon should deliver to most college dorms and anything sent from them will ship fast. As long as you have a valid address to send the package to that the student can access, Amazon should be able to deliver there. I have received many Amazon packages to my college P.O Box just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/br><\/br><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What should you not put in a care package?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Things you shouldn\u2019t put in a care package are things the student&nbsp; has access to regularly. I think of care packages as a rare treat. It would be lovely to receive a package with ramen in it, but that&#8217;s something a college student can normally afford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whoever you\u2019re considering sending something to will be thankful regardless of what you send them, but consider sending things they might not be able to get themselves, or things you think they would like. When in doubt, just ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/br><\/br><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What do you write in a care package letter?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My favorite care package letter I\u2019ve ever gotten is from my grandma. It was short and sweet \u201cLove you, can\u2019t wait to see you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you put in a letter all depends on your relationship with the person. But here are a few tips. Handwritten letters are always better than typed, it&#8217;s more meaningful. If you&#8217;re set on using technology, try a video message!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever you choose, the college student will be happy either way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<br \/><br \/><h2>Check out
