Going off to school is an exciting adventure for most kids. It's the first real taste of independence for many of them. Their parents are usually biting their nails and insisting on making plans for every possible scenario and creating lists of clothes, furnishings, and incidentals to pack. Once safely settled in, kids are always in need of extras. That's why they so eagerly anticipate the gift baskets for college students Flagstaff parents keep sending.
Snacks and treats are always a crowd pleaser, but they are quickly gobbled up without adding any nutrition to your kid's college diet. A better choice might be some microwave cookware, one serving meal packages, and a stainless steel water bottle. They sell big ceramic mugs that come with vented lids that will let kids warm a full meal package at one time.
Stainless steel water bottles give kids a convenient way to carry a drink along with them to morning classes or afternoon study sessions. They may prod students into making their own coffee instead of taking a number and standing in line for an expensive and calorie laden mocha latte. The packaged meals are a lot healthier than anything students will find in vending machines or the local pizzeria.
You know that having enough clean socks and underwear is an issue with most young people. A care package filled with colorful socks, all matching pairs, is a great thing to send. You could stick in a long corded charger and some cleaning supplies like laundry pods as well. The laundry pods might encourage your kid to actually use the laundromat instead on bringing all her dirty clothes home to wash on the weekend.
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.
Students will love care packages filled with toys, holiday decorations, and diffusers with packages of scented oils. Kids need some down time. They can't study all day and night. A package filled with toys like a mini-basketball and hoop that can be attached to a wall are great relaxers. You can add Frisbees, slinkies, paddle and balls, or anything else that won't destroy the room or break the rules.
Student apartments and dorm rooms can be pretty plain without decorations. Sending some holiday accessories will give new roommates a chance to get to know one another better. Spending time planning how and where to hang the garlands and lights you sent can be a bonding experience. A diffuser filled with pine scent will add to the general aura and mask unpleasant odors.
Kids look forward to care packages when they're away at school. It doesn't really matter what's in them. Opening the package and checking out the contents will remind them you are not so far away.
