If your child is at college or university, they can use all the extra support they can get. Especially if this is their first year. Student care packages and gifts will let them know that you are thinking of them without you having to pay them a visit in person. Here are some great ideas.

Fresh flowers and plants

If you know that your child does not have much time to care for plants, you should consider cut flowers or plants that don’t require too much care. Succulents, for example, are an excellent choice because they only need to be watered every few days. They don’t grow too fast so you won’t need to worry about repotting anytime soon.

Food hampers

Another great idea for student care packages are food hampers. They come in all shapes and sizes so you can take your pick according to your budget. Pastry hampers are excellent because they can always freeze most of the contents and defrost the pies whenever they don’t have time to cook. Student life can be tricky and full of unexpected hurdles. Which is why it’s good to know that they always have something to eat in their fridge or freezer.

Something sweet

Many students crave sweets. Especially during exam time. Sweet hampers may include a variety of sweets, chocolates and even baked goods like brownies. This student care package is great for offering comfort and an energy boost.

Pamper hamper

Studying is hard work and it can leave the student feeling mentally and physically drained. A pamper hamper filled with bath and body products is just what they need to relax and unwind after a tough day.

These are a few of the best student care packages you should consider sending. They are practical and they will let your loved one know that they are in your thoughts. Remember to include an encouraging message in the card that will be attached to the gift.
