28 Favorite Ideas for College Care Packages for Girls

My daughter was in need of some much-needed pampering the other day. She was hiding in her room as I was headed out to run errands when I got a text from her: Mom can you please get me some dark chocolate and strawberries and some more of those boy short undies I like? Love U.

It occurred to me that besides the usual taking care of our teens, they need a little extra once in a while too. Yes, there are times when the bare necessities feel overwhelming and like they might break us, but a little TLC can go miles with our kids and make them feel special without a whole lot of effort. This is especially true for teens who have just moved to college. Grown and Flown put together our favorite items for college care packages for girls.

College Care Packages for Girls

1. Jewelry

When your daughter wants to show some school spirit at her new college, consider this gorgeous jewelry from Kendra Scott that comes in game day-perfect colors. Earrings, necklaces, bracelets and more are all available in the trendiest styles at different price points. While you are on the site, check out Kendra’s nail polish – it’s long lasting and comes in some of the same beautiful colors as her jewelry.

2. J. Crew – NEW! Available on Amazon

Send your daughter something new to wear from J. Crew, now available on Amazon as “J. Crew Mercantile.” My daughter and I love their t-shirts (and jeans and dresses…) and these come in lots of great colors.

3. Lindt Chocolates

I love getting (and buying myself) a nice box of chocolates. It feels much more special than a bar or bag of chocolates.

4. Face Mask

A fun idea she can share with her friends for a ‘girl’s night in’!

5. Journals

Journaling got me through my teen years and experts agree it’s beneficial for all ages.

6. Eye pillow

We all need some things to help us relax and our teens are no different. A nice eye pillow is cute, luxurious and might help your college kid get a little extra sleep.

7. Echo Dot

This is the perfect size for your daughter to have in her dorm room to play her favorite music, use as a timer or alarm clock, call an Uber, order a pizza and so much more.

A soft blanket is a lovely gift for your daughter to keep at the foot of her bed and wrap up in while indulging herself in a little Netflix.

Having a little color on your nails always makes you feel better. This kit full of all the latest colors of polish will be perfect, especially if you can find it in her college colors.

Every month, Target curates a themed box of some of their most popular items and will ship it to your daughter. You may never assemble your own care package again! Just let Target do all the work.

With this assortment of herbal teas from Tea Forte, your daughter will feel comforted and loved, especially if she is coming down with a cold….

A warm chocolate cake with chocolate icing that your daughter can cook in a microwave in one minute (!) might just be a perfect indulgence after a long day of classes. The Mug Treats come in many flavors which you can check out here.
