College care packages are packages that you send off to your son or daughter while they’re off in college. They can contain anything from practical to the crazy. When I was in college my mom would always send me a couple gift cards, some home baked goods, some snacks and even a toy here or there. She had a way of making me smile! Sending a college care package is a good way to let your college student know that you’re always there for them and behind them 100%. When making your college care package make sure that you package it in such a way that it will ship okay. Most shipping companies have the materials available for purchase to ensure that your college care package will make it in one piece.
