#1: Funny Ways to Gift Money

College students are always short on cash, so here is a funny way to keep them stocked with some cash!

Start your College Survival Kit with an Emergency Cash Fund… if your student is going to have some unforseen emergency, breaking some glass and grabbing some cash will make everything seem better!! 🙂

Supplies Needed:

  • Two Bills {$20, $50, $100… it’s up to you}
  • 8×10 Picture Frame

Instructions:

  • On your computer, or a piece of 8×10 paper, type or write out… In an Emergency, Break Glass!
  • Carefully adhere the bills to the paper using an itty bitty piece of tape on the back of each one.
  • Reassemble your photo frame, and you’re done!

Or… you can even have fun hiding money in a diversion safe!

#2: Energy Boost Ideas

#3: Keep Your College Students Safe on the Road

Another fun thing to get for your student is a basic AAA Membership.  Not only will it come in handy if their car battery dies or they need a short tow, but they can also score Free Maps and Travel Resources.  Let the Travel Adventures begin!!

#4: Include Things for How to Stay Healthy at College…

With crowded dorms and classrooms, it can be pretty easy to pick up germs on a college campus.  Don’t forget to include things to keep your college students healthy.

Things to include in your college care package could be:

  • Fun Gummy Vitamins
  • Ear Plugs {for better sleep}
  • Essential Oils with an Essential Oil Diffuser
  • Scented Hand Sanitizer
  • Silk Sleep Mask

Or how about a Public Toilet Survival Kit?!?  It’s funny and helpful all at the same time! 🙂

#5: Don’t Forget These FREE Gift Cards for College Students!

Give them something they will absolutely love… a Brand New Wallet filled with Gift Cards!

Some fun gift card ideas to include would be:

  • Amazon Gift Card
  • Gas Gift Card
  • Coffee Gift Card
  • iTunes Gift Card
  • Movie Tickets Gift Card
  • Visa Gift Card
  • Restaurant Gift Card
  • Travel Gift Card {so they can come home to visit}
