Items To Send With Your College Freshman
REMINDER: IF YOU HAVE A CLASS OF 2023 GRADUATING SENIOR IN YOUR LIFE, SAVE THIS POST!
As you begin to help your new college freshman pack for their big move, sometimes the transition can be a bit rough, and when emotions start to give them doubt, here’s a few items to send with your college freshman that will help them feel your love all the way from home.
#1: Pet Pillow
We all know fur babies aren’t allowed at college, so the next best thing is a custom pillow with their picture on it! Their best friend can still be there to hug when your new college resident gets lonely.
Wondering where to get a custom Pet Pillow? I’ve got you covered! There are a lot of amazing creators on Etsy who offer custom pet pillows. There is also a company, The Pet Pillow, who specializes in this exact niche, (see picture below from their website!) as well as many other items that can be custom made with your furry friend!

#2. Senior Yearbook
We’re not talking about the school yearbook! We’re talking about our AGP books! Your seniors can load 200 images of their best friends & senior year memories into a beautiful 8x8 book that they can look back on for years to come! I can assure you that every senior out there leaving home, or with friends moving away to go to college will be thankful for this amazing book and the collection of memories it holds.

#3. Snack Subscription
This one will have your new college freshman full of happiness & tasty treats for those late night study sessions!
My top Snack Box Choices:
Variety Fun -Classic snacks that all college students love! Many of these classic snacks aren’t the healthiest,however, which is why this company also offers a fit box that includes healthier snack options.
Thrive Market is a popular choice for snacks and organic options. They have have customizable options too so you can filter the choices to fit any dietary restrictions your child may have!
Universal Yums is one of the best subscription options for trying out new and delicious international snacks. Each month your college student will receive snacks and treats from a different country!
You can also use Amazon to schedule monthly (or bi-monthly) deliveries of all the best snacks and favorites from home to your college student. The Amazon subscribe and save program is perfect for making sure your college student never runs out of their favorite treats!
#4. Lovebox Digital Messaging Device: this amazing little box can help you and your loved ones stay connected by sending little notes and pictures to each other while you’re away at college. It alerts you when you have a message waiting for you and the surprise is inside. They have many box designs as well, so you can pick the perfect one for your college freshman.

#5. T-Shirt Quilt: take all of your freshman’s high school t-shirts and compile them into a giant quilt that will remind them of home and their high school memories every time they use it.
Project Repat is an amazing company that creates super affordable + quality tshirt quilts!
