The car is unpacked. The dorm room is set up. You’ve said your goodbyes, made it home, and suddenly the house feels a little quieter.
Even when you’re excited for your college student, it’s okay to miss them. You can be proud of their independence and still wish they were home for dinner. Those feelings can exist together.
The first few weeks of college are an adjustment for them, too. Between new classes, new friends, and learning how to do laundry on their own, a familiar reminder of home can mean a lot. A college care package is a simple way to say, “I’m thinking of you,” without asking them to pause everything and call.
You could put together a box yourself, of course. But finding the right items, packing them, and getting to the post office can be hard to fit into an already busy week. That’s where DormStash.com comes in. DormStash makes it easy to send care packages filled with snacks, comfort, and useful surprises right to your student. You can send a one-time box when they need a little encouragement or choose a subscription to keep the love coming throughout the school year.
A care package won’t make you miss them less. It does give you a way to show up for them from miles away, especially on the days when “How was class?” gets a one-word reply.
They may be building a life of their own, but they’ll always appreciate a little love from home.
