All across America this month, college dorms are filling up with coeds. And from what we hear, those kids are hungry. They’re in dire need of fuel to counter the homesick blues, the all-nighters, and those days when their food plan just isn’t cutting it! For all these reasons, we offer all sorts of care packages that will make your favorite student feel extra comfy in their new digs and–as an added bonus–they’re magical at turning strangers into bffs!

Plus, it’s a great way to get that kid to call (or at least text) you.
