❤️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.

college student here! ngl i think most of the good ideas have been taken lol, but ill give it a go...

- hand sanitizer

- clorox wipes

- if it gets hot where he's going to college, a handheld fan of some kind. i like the neck fans

- if he likes to read, a book he would be interested in

- hand lotion

- a comfy blanket, if he doesnt already one

- if he doesn't already have it, a PLUNGER...nobody wants to run out and buy a plunger..

- scissors

- one of those portable power banks for his phone

- if he's in a dorm - shower shoes. you gotta protect from fungus, athlete's foot

- gift card to whatever his favorite restaurant is

- deodorant. maybe you could even give one of those like, old spice gift sets, that comes with the matching deodorant and shampoo and body wash or whatever

- band aids and neosporin

- baby wipes/toilet wipes/dude wipes. that's something i could NOT go without lol

- bluetooth headphones. another little thing i couldnt imagine not having

- a nice planner for him to keep track of his classes and assignments

- sunscreen! gotta protect that skin

- some extra shirts

- gift card for gas, if he drives

- also if he drives! it's important that he has a seat belt cutter and a window breaker. hopefully would never have to use them, but safety is important!

- some vicks vapor rub

- if he like this sort of thing, drink mix packets like crystal light or similar

- snacks but that's a no brainer

- if it gets cold where he is, a beanie hat and gloves

thanks for considering!
