Our unique college care packages began as our children left home. We created these so that family traditions and celebrations could travel right to them. The "Party In A Box" spread the fame of the crazy mom near and far. These fun and funny care packages were greeted with glee as they began arriving at campuses across the country! Explore the links below for some great ideas that will keep you connected to your college kid. You surely won't find a laundry list of the usual suspects like canned soup and cereal!
These "parties in a box" are pure fun even for the most cynical of groups. Take a look at all our our own creative care package ideas for our college students. They are themed for homesickness, exams, holidays and just for fun!
