Care Package Ideas
  • My freshman daughter absolutely loved her care package! I will definitely be sending her more of these in her upcoming college years for different occasions

    E.S.
  • My daughter was having a hard week and I sent this care package from her family to cheer her up. She loved it and so did her friends she shared the snacks with!

    M.B.
  • My son loves all the snack items and I love all the little special touches. These care packages save me so much time, money and a trip to the post office.

Why Choose CarePaks 101

CarePaks 101 is a mom-owned small business built from firsthand college-parent experience. With three current college students of my own, I know how meaningful a thoughtful reminder from home can be.

Every care package is hand-packed in Dayton, Ohio, and most orders ship within 1–2 business days. Each package includes a handwritten gift note. If you have a question, you receive personal help from someone who cares about getting the details right.
