What To Put In A Valentine Care Package

College students work hard and we want to encourage them to keep on keeping on! Sending a package is a great way to warm their hearts and give them a little reprieve from their studies. My daughter, Justine, shared these Valentine Gifts For College Students when she was a senior in college.

• Favorite Candy – Lindor Chocolate Truffles have been the latest hit with our teenagers. Conversation Hearts are always festive, too!
• Neck Massager – Teenagers face a lot that we never had to face as teens. It’s super easy for depression and anxiety to set in. A neck massager would help your teen relax, if only for a bit.
• Scalp Head Massager – Along the same lines of relaxation, the Scalp Head Massager relieves tension and provides deep relaxation to help reduce stress.
• Popcorn Valentine – Add a festive tag to a bag of microwave popcorn for a quick and easy Popcorn Valentine!
• Face Mask – When my daughter was a junior in college, she enjoyed a good face mask once in a while so I thought a little relaxation and pampering would be a hit.
• A Fun T-Shirt – Something new to wear is always a fun treat.
• Printable Valentine Banners – To decorate their space.
• Books – This one may not be for everyone. If you know that your college student is book adverse, you can skip this recommendation. If your college student does love books, though, giving them one or two for Valentine’s Day is a perfect gift.
• Cute PJ Set – Getting a new set of PJs is always great. This pajama set is both cute and comfy, and can even be used for lounging around. Here is another cute PJ set and here’s a satin pajama set that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day!
• Favorite Make-Up Product – For college students who wear make-up, it makes a perfect gift for Valentine’s Day. It can be expensive, and always appreciated when it is given as a gift, especially for broke college students.
• Coffee Gift Card – College students run on coffee. Caffeine is what gets them through the day. However, it’s an expensive habit to keep up. A gift card can go a long way, helping your student keep their caffeine consumption strong while not hurting the bank.
• Jewelry – For jewelry-loving college students, jewelry is a great gift for Valentine’s Day. A lot of jewelry is expensive, but there are plenty of options out there that are affordable, too. This bracelet is under $50, simple but very cute.
• Delivery App Gift Card – Let’s be real: most college students do not take the time to cook for themselves. Fast-food and delivery services are a go-to. Services like DoorDash and Uber Eats are popular. These services also have gift cards available to purchase. Getting your college student a gift card so they can deliver the meal of their dreams will leave them very thankful.
• Favorite Tea Or Coffee – Tea and coffee are incredibly popular drinks. Most college students like at least one or both. For Valentine’s, giving your student tea or coffee can go a long way. It’ll bring some enjoyment into their everyday life.
• Coloring Book – Coloring books are not just for kids. They are a great stress reliever for any adult, specifically stressed-out college students. A great gift and perfect for any study break.

Now that you know what Valentine gifts for college students you want to send to your student, be sure to send them in a box dressed for the occasion!
