Every once in awhile I like to send my son little packages with some treats in them when he's away at college. I know a lot of moms like to do this for their kids and John likes getting packages, who doesn't? Even though he's a big of a tough guy he likes being remembered.
Here are a couple of gift ideas to send your student when he or she is away at college. These ideas are super affordable (each one is less than $10. shipped to your student) and the companies are all small businesses that are family owned and operated. I am a big supporter of small family businesses!
Freedom Snacks is a gourmet popcorn company owned and run by Veronica Cockerham who is also a mom. Freedom Snacks has a multitude of flavors available. I sampled some of this popcorn and it is very yummy! You can go HERE to browse the great selection and order a few bags for yourself. You can send your college student a 1/2 gallon bag of popcorn for $7.18 shipped. Right now Freedom Snacks has a promotion going on check them out on FACEBOOK to find out more and keep up with all the latest product information and specials.
Five Finger Tees is a great online tshirt store that was previously featured on Miss Jackie's Views. Five Finger Tees opened in 2009 and is completely family owned and operated. This store has hundreds of tshirts available in every color you can think of. The company works hard to keep costs down and passes those savings on to their customers. Five Finger Tees has a $6. Daily Steal you can go HERE and pick up the Daily Steal and have it shipped to your student. Five Finger Tees ships quickly and their tshirts are top quality. Follow them on FACEBOOK and TWITTER so you don't miss out on some of their great giveaways!
SendaFlyingCard is another company that I previously reviewed and this is one of my favorites. The folks at Send A Flying Card will make a customized frisbee of your choice (color, design, text and picture) and mail it to your college student for $9.99 including shipping. Go HERE to create your Send a Flying Card, it is a really quick easy process and the turn around from this company is amazing, they ship within 24 hours. These are a unique idea that make a really nice surprise for the recipient! You can follow Send a Flying Card on FACEBOOK and TWITTER too.
It is always nice to send someone something to let you know you are thinking of them. It is even better when you don't have to spend an arm and a leg doing it. Great post.
ReplyDeleteThat is a super cool idea. Something that is different and very special yet reasonably priced.
ReplyDeleteThank you for including the tip about the Five Finger Daily Steal... that could come in handy sometime!
ReplyDeleteThe half gallon of popcorn for $7.18 shipped is a really awesome deal! I will be keeping that in mind for some upcoming birthdays. =]
ReplyDeleteLove the frisbee idea!
ReplyDeleteThese are some great ideas. Not only for college students, but would be nice to send to anyone just to say "I'm thinking of you." Thanks for the ideas!

I agree with Jackie! Great ideas not just for college students! I love bundling gifts. I have a little charcoal grill and a grill set that I will bundle with some BBQ sauce, rubs, etc. to give as a gift one day :) I am a huge THEME gift giver!
