College care packages

i LOVE making killer college care packages.
i'm putting a few together now to send off sometime this week.

i need your creative suggestions on what to include... i'm running out of ideas.

Well, here in Canada, I'd include a Tim's card (a coffee card for Tim Horton's).
But I'm sure a Starbucks card would do the trick.

Something baked (cookies, maybe) for sure.

those are good ideas! i am planning on putting one together soon so this is perfect timing!

so funny cause I just got done putting one together for my son.
***I made a big batch of chex mix (because it stays fresh for a long time when keep in a closed container)
*** gatorade (since Jacob is a work out junkie.)
***$10 gas card
***bag of candy bars (took one out of me-o.k. two for me
***$10 cash
He comes home on the week-ends so I try to have a little something for him to take back with him to last the week. The gatorade might be $$$$ to ship if you are sending it in the mail

by the way I purchased the cheapest meal plan-$70-a week to me isn't cheap and he burned through that by Friday. He said it is about $10 a meal wow I didn't even spend that for us a week when he was at home

How about quarters for laundry? Itunes gift card?

awesome ideas!!!

i always send my son:
a roll of quarters for laundry
his fav home town coffee shop coffee beans
giant pretzels {his fav}
guitar pics
roll of film {he loves shooting film}
homemade cookies
animal crackers {for his roommate .. his fav}

i'm sending a special gal we know:
quarters
houndstooth scarf {she and i are addicted to houndstooth}
giant pretzels {her fav too}
gum
fun notepads
homemade cookies

Sounds fun! I don't have anyone in college but it makes me want to make a care package! LOL
