Care Package Ideas to Spoil Your College Student

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Gettysburg chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

With finals quickly approaching, every college student could use a little pick-me-up.  What better than a special care package?  The only decision left is what to put inside…. 

Coffee

With half a dozen papers, exams, and group projects to prepare for, the caffeine is a welcome addition to those late-night study sessions.  

Tea

For the student who doesn’t drink coffee or for a calming effect later on, tea is the perfect Keurig staple.  

Silly Putty

Who doesn’t love to stretch a pile of Silly Putty?  Let your stress evaporate as you pull it apart and shove it back into its little red egg. 

Pain Reliever

Headaches are inevitable during finals:  lack of sleep, lots of caffeine, and loads of stress practically breed them.  Prepare for the worst by keeping your favorite remedy on hand.   

Pretty Pens

Break up the monotony of those Biology notes with a rainbow of colors!  

Vitamin C

With all of this stress, your immune system is probably taking a beating.  Keep away a holiday cold with an extra boost of protection!

Encouragement

Sometimes, you just need someone to tell you that you’ll pull through.
