The Best Care Package to Send a College Student This Fall
Share
By mid-September, college students are settled into their dorms and apartments, classes are underway, and the initial excitement of a new year has given way to the reality of being away from home. It's exactly when a care package lands the hardest.
The best care packages aren't just stuff - they're a taste of home. For students from Idaho or the Pacific Northwest, that means Idaho Candy Company.
Why Food Makes the Best Care Package
According to the National Retail Federation, food and candy are consistently the most appreciated care package items among college students - ranking above clothing, school supplies, and entertainment.

For students who grew up with Idaho Candy bars, receiving a box in the mail is one of those moments that reminds them where they're from and who's thinking about them.
The Mixed Candy Bar Pack
The Mixed Candy Bar Pack is the natural care package choice. It delivers 3 of each bar of - Idaho Spud Bars, Old Faithful Bars, Cherry Cocktail Bars, and Huckleberry Gem Bars, enough to share with a roommate and still have some left over.
The Variety Pack
For a more complete care package, the Variety Pack adds 1 lb of Owyhee Butter Toffee to the mix - 5 Idaho Spud Bars, 3 Old Faithful Bars, 3 Cherry Cocktail Bars, 3 Huckleberry Gems, and the toffee, all in a full-color gift box. It arrives ready to open and share.
The Vandal Bar and Bronco Bites
