As a college student, I know how wonderful it feels to receive a little care package from family and friends. If you're missing your college student, send them a lil somethin somethin to show that you're thinking about them. Here's some stuff that I think is great for any care package. Go nuts!
Mugs - everyone can find a use for them, and so they make a perfect gift. I know I love getting funky mugs from my friends and family, and I'll even treat myself to one if it's particularly unique. These mugs are silly, practical, and just plain cool. Perfect for a small gift, or get one for yourself - in this cold weather, a hot cup of whatever beverage you choose is absolutely necessary.
Why don't you share it with your friends!
