Halloween Care Package Ideas for Your College Kid

By: Michelle Newman

When my daughter went to college and I was faced with an entire calendar year of holidays she’d miss out on, I knew there was only one solution: I’d have to get the holiday to her.

Sending your college kid a quick, surprise care package box with a few random snacks, or mailing an actual card at random intervals throughout the year is always appreciated (getting actual mail is ridiculously exciting for them.)

When a special occasion is in play, it’s time to step up to the big leagues. Here are ideas for a Halloween care package with both small treats and seasonally-inspired presents, too.

Halloween college care package ideas 

Although the holiday is going to look different this year, college kids love Halloween. Regardless if they are away at school or taking classes remotely at home, give them a little lift by celebrating this holiday with a festive care package.

Candy and Snacks

If you’re sending candy, make sure to buy in large quantities, like this big bag of Hershey’s chocolates so they can share with everyone around them.
