Do you have a college-aged student who is struggling through finals? Check out the ideas below to send an amazing finals survival kit he or she can use to count down to the end of the semester. This is an easy to make gift idea that will be the perfect college care package for your student.
Start with any-sized bags that will be large enough to handle the gifts of your choice. (Don’t worry, we have gift ideas below that will be perfect to include.) You will also need some tags for those bags, as well as a way to number them. I am going to use stamps and ink, but a marker will work just as well.
Mark each tag with a number. Your student will be opening one bag each day leading up to the last day of school. I sent seven bags with my care package; however, you can choose to send more or fewer depending on your needs.
Now it is time to add a gift to each bag. A few ideas on what to include:
- Starbucks gift card
- Stress ball
- Vitamin C
- Pencils
- Tylenol
- EOS or other lip balm
- Chocolate
- Energy bars
- Highlighters
- Post-it Flags
- Index cards
- Gum
- Pizza take-out gift card
- Gift card to a favorite store
- Candy
- Any treat your college student enjoys!
Tie the bags up and add a tag to each one.
You can then print our college finals survival kit to include with your box. Just click on the image below to open it up and print.
Box all of your treats up with the letter, and send this finals survival kit off to your college student. It should get them through the rough weeks ahead by giving them a treat each day. And what better way to get through finals than by counting down the days until they are over! This is a fun college care package that your son or daughter will love to receive.
