Sending your child off to school is a traumatic experience for most parents. As excited as they are for the kids, there are always mixed feelings and a lot of anxiety. Setting kids up in their new rooms is just one of the projects on a long list of things to be done. For friends and loved ones wanting to help out, putting together thoughtful gift baskets for college students Flagstaff parents will appreciate makes a lot of sense.
No student is going to turn down care packages filled with sweets, but eventually they will need to make some healthier choices. Instead of cookies and candy, send a basket full of single serving meal packages, microwave cookware, and a good quality water bottle. There are large ceramic mugs that come with vented lids. They are big enough to heat one of the single serving meals.
Stainless steel water bottles give kids a convenient way to carry a drink along with them to morning classes or afternoon study sessions. They may prod students into making their own coffee instead of taking a number and standing in line for an expensive and calorie laden mocha latte. The packaged meals are a lot healthier than anything students will find in vending machines or the local pizzeria.
You know that having enough clean socks and underwear is an issue with most young people. A care package filled with colorful socks, all matching pairs, is a great thing to send. You could stick in a long corded charger and some cleaning supplies like laundry pods as well. The laundry pods might encourage your kid to actually use the laundromat instead on bringing all her dirty clothes home to wash on the weekend.
Detergent, softener, and other cleaning supplies can get expensive. One care package could be filled with various items in addition to the pods, like disinfectant and hand sanitizer. The charger with the extra long cord will come in handy if there are a limited number of outlets in the room.
Things can get tense on campus, especially during finals. A basket filled with toys will make a good diversion between cram sessions. You can fill it up with small items like frisbees, paddles and balls, and an over the door basketball hoop complete with foam basketball. Squeeze toys and slinkies are good ideas for a kid with limited space and tests coming up.
Kids love decorating their rooms and will appreciate some simple holiday decorations to make those rooms more like home. You can send garlands, candy canes, and strings of lights. You should find out what the house policy is on any electric lights however. Diffusers will help remove unwanted odors in stuffy rooms.
Getting a package from home is a treat for kids. It really doesn't matter what you put in it. If it's something they need, can use, and will enjoy, that's great. It really is the thought that counts.
