a little love for the college students out there...


I mean, who doesn't like a good care package every once in a while?? Especially if you are in college, away from family, and cramming for final exams? I thought it would be fun to send my cousin a little study love as she approaches her final exams. I'm pretty sure statistics say... that college students that receive care packages during final exams have higher grades. No, really... look it up... I'm sure you'll find that fact somewhere...

Here's what you need for an awesome final exam package... a pencil pouch, some markers, some erasers, awesome nail polish (for a study break, of course), fun hair elastics, chapstick, and index cards. Oh, and you should also greatly consider including some type of baked good... cookies, brownies, rice krispie treats... I'm sure the statistic for college students that receive baked goods during final exams is even more impressive.

Then you cram everything you purchased into the super cute pencil pouch. Just stuff it in there... it'll be okay. If it zips, it ships. ...at least that is my motto:)

Once you shove everything into the pencil bag, tie a pretty ribbon and tag on there to remind your favorite college student to study hard! Find a box that will fit both your pencil pouch and your baked goods (I sent chocolate chip cookies with mine)... and ship it off! I promise you will make one special college student very, very happy. Heck, this would make me very, very happy. Hmmm....
