Pack n Send Blog

Finals weeks is fast approaching for college students. Whether your child is attending nearby University of Houston or Texas Southern University, or an out-of-state institution, a care package from home is always a welcome surprise. Here are four packages you can ship from the Houston area that your college student will appreciate receiving in the mail. You can make up your own care package from any city.

Toiletries Survival Kit

Sending a package with all the necessities is a practical gift, yet much welcomed by any college student. Assemble a kit of all the most important hygiene basics including soaps, shaving cream, toothbrush, and mouth wash. In addition, your student will appreciate laundry detergent, fabric softener, dry sheets, and other incident supplies for when it is time to do laundry. These are items that often go overlooked until there is none left.

Home-cooked Treats

Nothing connects a student back to his or her home like the smell of homemade treats. Baking cookies, pies, or other desserts are a great way to encourage students with a sweet tooth. Shipping perishable items may require special packaging and/or unique shipping arrangements, but anything is possible, especially when working with a professional shipping company.

Job Hunting Package

If your child is nearing the end of their college career, the desire to find professional employment is probably quite strong. Surprise him/her with a gift package for the big interview. This can include a new outfit or business suit, resume writing reference materials, or a new leather-bound portfolio to carry in to the interview. These items will help you prepare your child for success, even if you live far away.

Transportation

Student parking is notoriously bad at campuses across the country, so many students rely on alternative means of transportation. Consider surprising your child with a new bike, long board, or other trendy means of travel. For larger items, a professional shipping company can assist you in properly packing and shipping so that it arrives safely.
