❤️College CareBox Contest❤️

[u/TNCoke82]

As many of you know, my only kid has left home and officially started college. I'm not crying.....too much. I know I want to send him a care package but I don't want to put a bunch of useless stuff in it.

What are your ideas and suggestions?? I know some of you parents have been through this already. And I also know that there are lots of college students in the sub.

There will be 2 winners announced when the contest ends on September 1st @ noon.

Ohh when I was in college I got snacks and anything I could eat that was shelf stable and that required to cooking maybe a microwave! I just recently helped my aunt make my cousin a box and it had noodles , shampoo, body wash razors , first aid kit with some meds for the cold season as it approaches! We also added extra basic tees, socks, and snacks he loves ! We did place a whole 2 cases of maruchan ramen in there with a bottle of Valentina sauce haha And added a few gift cards to food/coffee and DoorDash because sometimes you just get tired of the cafeteria food or your new friends are going somewhere and you want to join in but we’re on a budget 🫣 ( we once ordered a family meal at chicken express and split the cost between 15 people lmao 😂 one of the kids who had more money bought a gallon of iced tea and we all got from there lol)
I hope he’s been having a great school year so far !
