A letter or care package from home can make your student’s day a little brighter! Finding a letter or package in their post office box is something all students look forward to. If you’re looking for ideas, consider family photos, articles from the local paper, CDs, books, favorite candy, stamps, and envelopes. Don’t forget the Book Mark sells gift cards and you can order them online by visiting http://bookmark.gustavus.edu. Another great website for care package ideas is at: http://www1.umn.edu/parent/campus-community/gopher-gifts/. Although some ideas are institution specific, all could be adjusted to fit your Gustie! We especially like the “Care Package Party” section. What a great idea!
