Care package for student DS

9 replies

DoubtjngThomas · 14/10/2024 21:13

DS is in his 2nd year at uni and feeling a bit fragile. Would like to send him some treats, anything that will fit in a shoe box.

All ideas welcome please Smile

A can of his favourite drink, gift card for Uber eats or similar, chocolate, super noodles, biscuits.

Buy him a train ticket home for some TLC.

I used to do this, lovely idea. Chocolate, chewing gum, posh deodorant, slipper socks, Tesco food card or similar.

Print off a nice family photo, mini version of a game (one for him, one for you) you used to play and play together on FaceTime.

This is a lovely idea! Maybe stuff that he loves, but doesn’t always buy?

Maybe a Lego set? Then could be bulked out with a naice shower gel, deodorant and chocolate etc.

Great idea, he loves biltong and Cawstons rhubarb drink so will get those to kick off with

I used to love getting a care package at uni. I think I used to get a DvD, bag of sweets, slipper socks,photos of the cats, lemsip and other winter cold remedys.

Some of his favourite food and snacks? Home made cake or brownies?
Something fun like a card game/magazine he likes?
Gift card with enough money on it for favourite food or shop to get a little something nice.
Something personal from you like a note or a joke, maybe a photo?

Could send some funny family/pet snaps but guess that would create a delay I. Sending whist I get them printed off
