I always love when my son comes home from college. I miss him. Whenever he does visit, I always have a bag (or two) of goodies to give him. You can save on goodies when you check out BJ's Club Membership Deals & Coupons!
The bag is mostly full of food, with other items sprinkled in.
For example, Tommy loves Reese's Thins, so he got that:
Plus some easy microwavable meals since he has a microwave in his room:
He also got chocolate for those rough days:
There's also shampoo, deodorant, hand soap, and toothpaste. I always hope those boys are using the hand soap after using the bathroom. Please. Please. Please.
I also included a plunger, because Tommy is in a suite with 3 other boys. Enough said.
I also found him a Halloween shirt at Five Below:
Finally, since Tommy is doing so well in college, I got him the new Super Mario Bros Wonder game. It came with trading cards since I preordered. I was going to wait until Christmas, but he is truly such a great kid:

He'll be coming back for Thanksgiving Break and yup, he'll have another bag.
I can't wait to see him again.

Such a great idea! Our oldest is in college & we can't wait to see them for Winter break. They are many states away so I make sure to have their favorite foods when they come home for breaks.
ReplyDeleteA cool looking gift bag with cool gifts, children going off to college isn't something I have had to deal with
ReplyDeleteTommy is a very lucky boy! Some really cool things in that bag!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a gift bag for college kiddos! What a fun way to still be Mama and have some fun, too! I would totally give gift bags if my kids opted to do the college route - but one is moved out so now I just buy random things and ship them to their house for fun throughout the year so they get fun mail instead of just bills.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. This would also be great for holiday gifts.
ReplyDeleteThese items were perfect for a college kid care package/gift bag!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing better than receiving a gift bag filled with cool items. He would really love for sure

ReplyDeleteI love these little gift bag ideas. I’m sure with three boys the plunger will come in handy. Or the entire floor is borrowing it. Lol
ReplyDeleteFab gift bag!! I would love the Reece's for myself. And I plunger is a must to pack away for my youngest son! LOL
ReplyDeleteScrolling through and seeing the plunger and its caption gave me a good chuckle, again. Very good essentials and comfort snack care package.
