1. Loungewear.
As college students we have to study. And most of our studying is done for long periods of time. Comfort is key. Plus, wearing sweatpants to class is no longer frowned upon.
2. Snacks, Snacks, and More Snacks.
Seriously can't emphasize this one enough. We LOVE to snack. This also goes back to the long hours of studying, it usually involves snacking.
3. Gas and Grocery Cards.
Let's be honest, we don't make that much if anything at all. These would help us more than you know. and if you don't send us snacks then we can at least go get our own!
4. Restaurant Gift Cards.
Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE gets tired of eating in our dining facilities on campus. We love to go out, but we don't necessarily have the funds to do so. If you don't know what restaurants there are near us, just ask. We'd be happy to tell you all the places we can't afford to eat at.
5. For the Girls: Fuzzy Socks.
Whether we're walking across campus in the cold or just hanging out, fuzzy socks are a girl's best friend in college. Trust me with this, you can't go wrong. The softer, the better.
6. Bathroom Supplies.
Everyone runs out of toothpaste or toilet paper eventually. Some other things to consider are toothbrushes, Tide To-Go pens, tissues, lint rollers, and for girls; make-up remover wipes. While these things seems like a bad idea, we'll be happy to get them.
7. Favorite Movies.
Even if we don't have a DVD Player in our room, I guarantee that we know someone who does. Movie nights happen more frequently than we care to admit (because that means we're not actually studying).
These are just some ideas to get you started. Be creative! No matter what's inside the box, we'll just be happy you thought of us!
