College Care · Made Personal
Send a Little Home
to Campus.
College care packages should be useful, fun and unmistakably meant for them.
Choose snacks, coffee, pantry favorites, something sweet or the full Collegiate Survival Parcel — then tell us who is away at school and who is sending it. The care package becomes part snack box, part story from home.
FOR THE DORM. PERSONALIZED STORY INCLUDED
For Dorm Rooms, Apartments & Long Weeks
A Care Package
Should Feel Like Someone Knows Them.
Useful snacks are good. Useful snacks with a story from home are better.
Send something for the late-night study session, the empty dorm pantry, the first apartment, the homesick week or the student who simply deserves a surprise. We mark the gifts that fit college life best, then let you make the package personal.
