What To Put In A Fall Box For College Students

Preferably, anything you put in a box for your college student should be something you know they will use, eat, or love. Space is a huge commodity for students living in dorms so needless stuff will be a waste and end up in the trash.

Listed below are Fall Care Package Ideas to get your creative juices flowing. These are the items I sent to my college freshman!

• Organic Granola Cereal, Pumpkin Seed + Flax – My daughter has said it is much easier to eat breakfast in her room before she heads off to class. This Pumpkin Seed + Flax Granola will be a fun fall breakfast for her!
• Nabisco Belvita Pumpkin Spice Breakfast Biscuits – These looked festive. I have no idea if they’re any good. I’ll let you know what I hear!
• Apple Cider – A warm drink on a cold fall night. What’s better than that?
• Mrs. Meyer’s Fall-Scented Hand Soap – They can use it and it’s festive! My daughter requested hand soap so … there you go!
• Pumpkin Seeds – YUM! What a great snack to munch on as they work on papers, tucked up at their desks, under their loft beds.
• Lentil Soup – There’s nothing like a bowl of soup on a rainy fall night. Especially when you can’t fathom a walk to the cafeteria in the pouring rain.
• Kind Minis – We sent a few Kind Bars in our daughter’s first box and had a request for more! This time we’ve sent full-size Kind Bars and Kind Minis!
• 4X4 Pumpkin – This 4X4 Pumpkin is handmade! If you don’t want to go to the trouble to make a 4X4 Pumpkin, you might want to try your hand learning how to make sweater pumpkins or a mini pumpkin will do! It’s just a little something to put on the windowsill that says Fall!
• Nerf Football – Because what says fall more than football? Give your college student a reason to take a break and get out and play with their new friends! Here’s another option: Foam Football
• Miniature Candy – Bite-size candy fills the Fall Care Package in quite nicely!
• Microwave Popcorn – Get Cozy Fall Popcorn Tags in the Fall Care Package Printables below.
• Activity Pages – A double-sided activity page and a coloring page are in the Care Package Printables below.
• Note – It’s always nice to send a note in the care package you create! (Fall Notes are included in the Care Package Printables below.)
