Thoughtful College Care Packages for Every Semester
Sending your child off to college is one of life’s biggest milestones. It’s a season filled with excitement, independence, and new opportunities...but it also comes with late-night study sessions, long days on campus, and the occasional bout of homesickness. One of the simplest ways to stay connected with your child is with a thoughtfully curated college care package from The Basket Company.
Why Care Packages Make a Difference
Between adjusting to dorm life, navigating new friendships, and juggling academics, college life can be overwhelming, and students sometimes need a little extra boost! That’s where a surprise care package comes in.
More than just a box of snacks, a college care package is a reminder that home isn’t too far away. It can brighten a tough exam week, provide energy during long nights of studying, add a touch of comfort on homesick days, and strengthen that all-important parent-student connection
Think of it as a hug in a box. It's practical, fun, and full of encouragement.
What’s Inside a College Care Package
Every student is unique, which is why our baskets are filled with a variety of treats carefully selected to please. Each college care package includes a balance of sweet, savory, and nostalgic favorites, such as:
-
Premium chocolates like delicious milk-chocolate deluxe sponge candy and mouth-watering pecan frog patties for late-night cramming fuel
-
Savory snacks like our protein bars in a bag and buffalo peanuts to keep energy levels up
-
Nostalgic candies that spark happy childhood memories like farm market peaches and sour gummy worms.
-
Locally sourced and individually packaged gourmet snacks from yogurt pretzels to Svenska red fish all of which can be included to personalize your student's care package.
We’re also mindful of allergies and dietary needs, so every package can be tailored to fit your student’s lifestyle.
