Heading off to college was a whole new world for me- new classes, new friends, new places and experiences and things to learn. It was the beginning of actual adulthood for me, and a time I started to make a lot of my own choices for the first time. It was scary and exciting and fun.
Of course, like every freshman, I wanted to put my best foot forward, act more cool and confident than I actually felt, and impress everyone with how together I was. My 17 year old self started on new adventures, and what followed were some of the best years of my life.
When our newly adult kids start down this same track, we want to make sure they have everything they need to feel great and confident also, so why not send them off with a care package filled with things they may forget (but need) and also shows them how much you care?

Pack The Perfect College Student Care Package
The perfect care package for your freshman (or any college student, really) should be filled with things that help them out and make them feel great, so my tips would be to make sure you add:
1. Toothbrush, toothpaste, and lens supplies (because for some reason, everyone forgets these when they go away and they are pretty important)
2. A gift card to help them with any surprise expenses that pop up
3. A family photo so they know who is rooting for them
4. Battery chargers so they are never without a working cell phone or laptop
5. Vitamins, because during that first stressful year, good nutrition seems to go by the wayside for a lot of freshmen at college
6. A planner so they never miss assignment due dates or weekend visits back home
7. Schick® Disposable Razors so they always look clean cut for class, job interviews, and first dates.
This is my perfect care package for college freshmen, and sending monthly packages with refills and other items they might need will help their first year go very smoothly. Tip: they will always need more dental products, gift cards, and Schick® Disposable Razors.
Schick® Disposable Razor are available for men (Schick Hydro® 5 Razor, Schick® Xtreme 3® Ultimate Razor, and Schick® Slim Twin® Razor) and women (Schick® Quattro® Razor and Schick® Hydro Silk® Razor) so you can pick the right one for your sons and daughters, grandkids, niece or nephew- whomever you are sending care packages for.
I recently headed over to Rite Aid to stock up, and tried to decide between the Schick® Hydro Silk® Razor and Schick® Quattro®. The Schick Quattro has four 4 titanium-coated blades for a close shave and that sounded awesome to me so I chose that one.
Buy One Get One Free Offer
Right now Schick® is offering a Buy One Get One Free coupon that can be used at Meijer, Kroger, Rite Aid, and Ahold, and another BOGO offer for Dollar General.
Like everything else, preparing well gets you on the right path from the start, so send care packages to them at college filled with all those necessities they might forget- and packed with love ♥
