Halloween Care Package Ideas For College Students
Send a Halloween Care Package to college students or anyone you’d like to surprise with a little Halloween fun! These Halloween Care Package Ideas For College Students are ready to help you create a box that will bring a smile to your student’s face.
What do you give a college student for Halloween?
The best Halloween care package includes a favorite snack, sweet treats, something to do, something to decorate with, a funny mask, and something that’s just plain silly.
Whatever you put in your student’s care package, college students love to know that you’ve thought of them and took the time to put together a package just for them.
What do you put in a Halloween Care Package?
When creating a Halloween care package, be sure to keep your student in mind! If they hate scary stuff, don’t include it. Pack items you know will put a smile on your student’s face and that they’ll get a kick out of or will actually eat.

Listed below are Halloween Care Package ideas to spur your creativity! These are things I sent to my own college kids!
- Favorite Snack – Mini Kind Bars, Cheez-Its, or microwave popcorn with a festive tag like these Just Poppin’ By Halloween Popcorn Tags are excellent choices for fall snacks.
- Sweet Treats – Candy Corn, Caramel Apple Pops, and Trick-Or-Treat Candy are festive treats your recipient will love.
- Something To Do – Mad Libs, a Monstrous Coloring Page (included in the Monstrously Cute Care Package Printable Set), Candy Corn Coloring Pages (included in the Corny Halloween Care Package Printable Set), LEGO City Monster Truck or LEGO Minecraft Horse Stable Featuring A Skeleton (because LEGO building is a great stress reliever), Card Game, or a Halloween Word Search are all great options.
- Something To Decorate With – Halloween Candy Corn Banner, Halloween Banner Printable, or even a Coloring Page are good choices for decorations you can easily send. This Straight Outta Candy Printable would be fun to put in the bottom of your box and the recipient can use it as a decoration too!
- A Funny Mask – Disguise Glasses are always fun!
- Something Silly – Glow Bracelets, a LED Strobe Light, or just a Silly Toy will bring out the kid in them!
When should you send a Halloween Care Package?
You should send a Halloween Care Package the first week of October so the recipient has plenty of time to use the decor and eat the sweet treats!
How can I personalize a care package for Halloween?
The best way to personalize a care package is by including a handwritten note! Your recipient will want to hear from you and a note is a great way to let them know how much you’re thinking about them. There is a notecard included in the Corny Halloween Care Package Printable Set or you can download one of our Printable Halloween Cards.
Another way to personalize your care package is by sending items you know your student will love!
