Care Packages

Rules Of Care Packages

College care packages are a much anticipated and much appreciated college tradition. For many years, college mailrooms have been handling packages from mom, dad, grandma, grandpa and friends.

Many of us do not have the time to run around to a variety of stores trying to find something to send to our college student. Between finding the items to send to finding a box to send them in, the task can be very time consuming. Here are a few simple keys to sending a college care package that your student will love.

Don’t try to get fancy!

College students really don’t care how pretty the packaging may be. They also don’t want to get a bunch of “gourmet” foods and beverages. Send the comfort of brands that we all love and trust.

Send care packages when they want them the most…and send often!

If your college student is due to come home in a week, it probably isn’t the most ideal time to send a college care package. A great time to send college care packages is during exams, in the middle of a semester, between breaks, and anytime for a homesick student.

Send a college care package that has variety and enough to share with others!

Very few college students live completely alone. Most share a room, a house or a hall with others. Make sure that the college care package you choose has enough individual items to share with others (or else your college student might find he has an unhappy roommate).

Personalize it!

Send a special message to go along with the college care package.

Make sure your student knows their college care package is coming!

At least let them know that they will have mail coming their way. Many schools now notify college students of packages using campus email. However, some still use the traditional approach of putting a card in the box, notifying the student that they have a care package. This may not be very timely, as some students only visit their mailbox once a week (or not at all).

You can find all of these features at www.showyacare.com We offer a variety of college care packages to fit all student preferences. Our user-friendly site makes sending care packages simple. On average, an order takes about three minutes to complete.

If you would like to add a little something extra, you can send gift certificates, rolls of quarters, a framed picture, and even a birthday package all without leaving the comfort of your big, comfy, computer chair.
