If you have a family member or friend in college, especially if they are going to school far away, then a care package would be a wonderful thing to give those things they need and remind them that you care. Here are three thematic options for a care package. The dorm food survival package is the first option, which should include foods that can be prepared (or eaten immediately) with the limited cookery they have in a dorm. The next option is the "I love you" package to remind them of home and comfort the homesick. Include a stuffed animal and some home-baked goods. Lastly, you could put together a movie night package. Include DVDs, popcorn, soda, and movie candy so they can host a movie night for their friends. These three options are sure to show how much you care!

Money is THE gift to give for graduations, but it's also a good way to get your gift lost in a crowd of "Congrats Graduate!" cards. Here are four gifts that you can add to the cash. The first is stuffed animals, which are a cute way to get your gift to stand out. The second gift is flowers or a potted plant, which allows you to either congratulate the grad on their special day (with a bouquet) or give them something for the future with a potted plant. Books are also a great thing to slide some cash into, and you can get them on the topics of inspirational, instructional must haves, like a dictionary or thesaurus. The last great grad gift to pair with money and a card is an alarm clock, which will keep them on time for their future!

When it comes to getting a baby gift, an infant care package full of useful items is a great option. You can present the items in a simple gift bag, or assemble a gift basket. Fill it with the essentials: diapers, formula, baby wipes, bottles, baby safe sunscreen, and hypoallergenic shampoo. Pick out an extra soft stuffed animal (or other baby toy) for the focal point if you're doing a gift basket. Round out the gift with some basic accessories, such as bibs, socks, shoes, and burping towels. Creating a baby care package with the fundamentals is a great option because you don't have to worry about getting the same gift as someone else, (because they need more than one of these items anyway), and you can feel good that you are saving the parent's time and money.
