I want to drive to my daughter’s college campus to celebrate her Birthday with her. This will be the first Birthday I haven’t been able to celebrate with her, in person. Ugh! I’m hoping this Birthday Party In A Box will bring her and her friends joy and a little reprieve from the academic rigor of college life!
Whether you have a college student, friend, or family member away from home, the Birthday Party In A Box is a sure way to bring you closer, on their special day!

What To Put In A Birthday Party In A Box
I chose to create a Birthday Box to be shared with my daughter’s friends!
Betty Crocker Mug Treats – You may not be able to send cake but you can send a simple microwavable treat!
Mugs – They gotta have a mug to cook their treat in! Your recipient may already have a few mugs laying around but why not send a new one, just for fun?
Party Napkins – Make their day festive with fun party napkins!
Mini Party Hats – Okay, I have to admit, the kids never really wanted to wear party hats at Birthday Parties but what says Birthday more than a party hat? Our goal here is to exude Birthday Party as loud as we can!
Miniature Piñata – Yes, I realize they are probably too old for the traditional piñata but this miniature piñata is so stinkin’ cute and perfect to share with friends!
Candy – You gotta put candy in that piñata!
Party Favors – This Birthday Party In A Box is meant to be shared with friends! Don’t forget the party favors!
