College Care Packages Students Actually Want

Saw us talking college care packages on TV? Here’s everything we shared on air—from easy shipping shortcuts to a few things they’ll be really excited to open.

Send the basics straight to them

Snacks, laundry pods, toiletries—skip the box and use Amazon Subscribe & Save to send everyday essentials directly to campus. Save your care package space for the fun stuff.

Add something unexpected

rag & bone rb Sport Capsule

We shared this collection by rag & bone on TV because it puts a cooler spin on college style: school-inspired colors without the logos.

Wolverine Maker Wedge Boot

For the Michigan student or fan: Wolverine’s limited-edition Maize & Blue Collar boot couples subtle U-M details with waterproof leather for a style that works from the tailgate to campus.

Ship it the easy way

USPS Priority Mail is our go-to: one price for the box regardless of weight. Keep a box, tape + Sharpie at home and you’re always ready to send one.

Send one just because

Midterms, finals + birthdays are easy wins—but don't underestimate the random Tuesday box. Favorite candy, something cozy or a handwritten note is sometimes all it takes to send a little piece of home.
