Student Care Package Ideas
Supporting Your Student
Care packages are a great way of supporting your student during their semester, and can come in so many different forms. Whether it’s to celebrate Homecoming and Family Weekend, their first week of the semester, or just to show some love and support, we’d love to share some ideas with you!
Listed below are some favorites that CSU families and support networks love sending to their Rams.
1.
Snacks, Snacks, and More Snacks
Food, whether delivered or shipped is always a wonderful option – especially for students living in dorms.
2.
Clothing & Weather Gear
Colorado is noteworthy for its constantly shifting weather throughout the Fall and Spring semesters. Fort Collins also has a range of outdoor activities, especially hiking, so items like socks, hiking shoes, jackets and hoodies are very popular.
3.
Room Decorations
Items like string lights, lamps, posters, and more are often highly requested by students living on and off campus. Some students even love having portraits of their family pet to help liven their space.
4.
Zoom Call/Letter From Home
Students who are not used to being away from home or who have family outside of Colorado always want to find ways to stay in contact with their family/support system.
5.
Subscription Boxes
Students love these as they provide a consistent way to get everything from snacks to toiletries, to makeup and clothing.
6.
Electronics
Campus has accessible USB ports for charging in all sorts of locations, so things like charging cables, earbuds, backup batteries and speakers for studying are great for students.
7.
Kitchen Appliances
If your student is transitioning to off-campus living in an apartment or home, kitchen appliances are a great addition to their kitchen setup.
