and Mail Boxes Etc. ®, 67% of college students fine what they want most is a taste of home delivered to their mailbox. Here are some tips to create the perfect care package for that special someone away at school:
1. Pack it up – Send home baked sweets, such as cookies, alongside hearty snacks, like trail mix. Pack items securely in airtight decorative tins or disposable plastic ware. You can even send a cake by placing the cake in a tin and packing the frosting separately. Include a card, presents and decorations for an instant birthday
celebration.
2. Wrap for success – Ensure baked goods are cool before packing. When shipping multiple items, pack the heaviest ones on the bottom and make sure all items are tightly sealed. Never leave air pockets in containers. Fill any gaps with bubble cushioning or packing peanuts, so the goodies look as good on arrival as they did when they left the oven.
3. Be the dorm favorite – More than 70% of students surveyed wanted to share their care packages with friends and roommates, so pack a little extra. Consider sending treats for special occasions, like Halloween, or to celebrate milestones like the end of midterms.
