Care Package Ideas


Stay connected to your college students with a package filled with treats—homemade cookies, candles, gift cards and more—to remind them of home.

Away for the Holidays

Being away from family and loved ones during the holidays—any holiday—is a little easier with some thoughtful gifts from home.

  • Dorm room decorations, such as a desktop Christmas tree, a menorah, Easter baskets and trick-or-treat pumpkins filled with candy
  • Food associated with the holiday, such as Valentine's Day treats or Christmas cookies
  • A decoration from your home that you know they love, such as their favorite ornaments or a music box
  • A gift card to a restaurant to celebrate with a nice meal out of the dorm room
