Great Gift Baskets For College Students Flagstaff Parents Can Appreciate

By Peter Hill


Going off to school is an exciting adventure for most kids. It's the first real taste of independence for many of them. Their parents are usually biting their nails and insisting on making plans for every possible scenario and creating lists of clothes, furnishings, and incidentals to pack. Once safely settled in, kids are always in need of extras. That's why they so eagerly anticipate the gift baskets for college students Flagstaff parents keep sending.

Cookies, candy, and snacks are fine, but kids will need a little more nourishment than that at some point. A care package filled with microwave cookware, a stainless steel water bottle, and some single serve meal packages will have a more lasting impact. You can get large ceramic mugs with vented lids that will heat enough to satisfy a late night hunger attack.

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.

Most kids at school can use packages of socks and underwear. You can put together a great care package filled with a dozen pairs of colorful socks along with some laundry pods, and a phone charger and extra long cord. Sending new socks along with laundry detergent might be the incentive your kid needs to actually wash the socks.

Detergent and other cleaning supplies can get expensive when you are on a tight budget. Pods are easy to store and will be used. You can also throw in some disinfecting wipes for grimy desktops and cabinets. An extra long cord on a charger will be helpful in rooms that don't have outlets on every wall. With the extra length, kids can have their phones right by them wherever they are in their rooms.

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.

You might send decorations in advance of the holidays. This will help your kid's room seem more festive and like home. Candy canes, garlands, and strings of lights will give them a boost, especially if they are stuck in their dorms during the holidays. The oil diffuser with a big package of scented oils will help eliminate stuffy smells and other suspicious odors.

Kids look forward to care packages when they're away at school. It doesn't really matter what's in them. Opening the package and checking out the contents will remind them you are not so far away.
