College care package ideas for girls
1. The Comfy
These soft, wearable blankets are super-popular with teens and college kids and your daughter would love to get one.
2. Kyle Cavan Jewelry
We have absolutely fallen in love with Kyle Cavan, whose jewelry pieces are elegant and true keepsakes. They have chosen iconic buildings and retro logos to create lovely necklaces, bracelets and more. Your daughter will LOVE this.
3. Face Coverings
Masks are one thing that our daughters (and sons) need whenever they leave their dorm, apartment, or our homes. One of the very favorite masks that our Grown and Flown community loves is the Activate Face Mask made by Athleta.
The durable fabric is soft and breathable and the straps are adjustable. They come two to a package and are available in different hues of brown-orange, pink-grey or solid grey. There is also a thin pocket for a filter, added safety feature.
4. CampusCube Snack Box
CampusCube and Grown and Flown have teamed up to create a college care package for students. There are enough snacks and treats to share with her new roommate and hallmates. Save $5 on any care package or 10% on 3 or more with discount code: GF5.
5. New top
Athleta has one of the best selections for girls and women of all shapes and sizes.
This wrap top could be something your daughter slips on over whatever she is wearing to look pulled together for almost any occasion. It’s also a cute, lightweight sweater for when she goes out on cooler autumn days.
6. Bose noise-canceling headphones
The 700 series by Bose gets the highest marks for noise-canceling headphones, something that college students appreciate when they are trying to study in the midst of noisy dorms. These are expensive, but your daughter will appreciate them whenever she uses them to drown out loud noises to study.
Anker makes much less expensive wireless headphones that also get high reviews in the under $100 price category.
7. AirPod Pros
These are simply amazing devices and, once you use them, you will wonder how you got along without them. There are noise-canceling qualities to the AirPod Pros and the battery lasts for 24 hours.
8. Facial spray
This super-popular brand of facial mists comes in this set of three fragrances: cucumber and green tea; herbs and rosewater; camomile and lavender.
9. Allbirds socks
Allbrids has long made some of the most amazing shoes and now, they have branched out into apparel. These socks are incredibly soft, comfortable, and durable and are available in several styles and lots of beautiful colors.
