Who doesn’t love getting packages in the mail? Especially with surprise treats inside!

Whether you’re a parent or relative looking to put a smile on a student’s face or another student looking to send a friend something special, there are plenty of treats you can send or get delivered. Plus, with the holidays coming up, these are some solid gifts ideas that'll keep on giving and students can appreciate year round.

Any college student across the nation would love to receive a subscription box or a delightful one-time delivery from someone who cares.

Here are some fun ideas for college care packages that are no-hassle for you, as a sender:

For One Time Delivery:

Baked by Melissa

If variety is what you crave, Baked by Melissa may be a great place to check out. From cupcake mosaics to macarons, you can send sweets to celebrate any occasion (or non-occasion). They also offer great assortment packs in case you think the recipient will want more than one flavor. Bonus: they offer gluten free options.

Cheryl’s

Cheryl’s has a lot of options when it comes to assortments of sweets and occasion. They also deliver, which makes sending an easy breezy task. Whatever occasion, season or theme you’re looking for, it’s likely they have a delicious assortment ready-to-send. Bonus: they offer gluten free options.

Cookies by Design

It’s an oldie but goodie. Cookies by design may very well be the first cookie bouquet supplier and, since they’re still around, you know they’re delicious. With adorably decorated cookies that taste like a sugar cookie dream, what Cookies by Design lacks in versatility they make up for it customized cuteness. Honestly, what could be better than a cookie on a stick? They offer same day delivery so it’s convenient for any last minute ideas. Bonus: they offer gluten free options.

Cookie Dō

While this gourmet, edible cookie dough confectionery is located in New York City and limits instant delivery to the Manhattan area, they do offer nationwide shipping, too. That means that you can send and receive this cookie dough wherever you may be located. While it’s delicious to eat on its own, Cookie Dō’s cookie dough is also ready to bake, if desired.

College Packs

These college subscription packs are geared toward college kids. According to the site, they include brands like Uber, Pink and Starbucks. There’s a choice of starter or VIP packs, party or subscription packs to choose from, too.

Dormify Survival Kits

They may not be delicious but Dormify’s Survival Kits have pre-made themes for fun college occasions, like an exam study kit, dorm survival kit and more. Students will love the fact that you thought about them with a kit for whatever it is they may be going through – and the stuff inside is actually useful! It’s basically like one of the subscription boxes, just as a one-time order.

Garrett Popcorn

With locations in several major metropolitan areas, Garrett Popcorn is a unique snack that can satisfy fans of sweet, fans of salty and, of course, fans of both. Choose from a variety of flavors, like buffalo cheese-corn, buttery ranch or go with the classic Garrett Mix – it doesn’t matter which you choose, they’re all delicious! Send a tin to your favorite student: simply choose the size, tin design and flavor.

Insomnia Cookies

One of the first of its kind, Insomnia Cookies offers delicious, just-out-of-the-oven cookies, brownies, ice cream and other treats delivered straight to a student’s door.
They have 100 locations in 29 states (many of which are located near college campuses) so, for many students, cookie delivery is only a phone call away. Plus, they are open late to curb college student cravings which means you can schedule delivery at all hours. Just picture: after studying for finals, a college student comes home to a sweet treat after a late night at the library! Bonus: they offer gluten free options.

Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams

You haven’t lived until you pick up a pint of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams. Culinary connoisseurs will love tasting the unique flavors (like goat cheese with red cherries, sweet corn and black raspberries, sweet potato éclair and Thai curry pumpkin – just to name a few this season) offered. Plus, they use real ingredients (no synthetic flavorings) and dairy from grass-pastured cows so it’s about as guilt free as ice cream can get. They’re always switching up flavors, too, so you’ll never get bored. Like anyone could get bored of ice cream.

Magnolia Bakery

With both national and international locations, you’re likely near one of Magnolia Bakery’s locations. But, you don’t even need to be in order to enjoy their sweet treats – they also offer shipping nationwide. Offering baked goods in addition to cupcakes, you’ll love the look (and taste) of their adorable concoctions.

Molly’s Cupcakes

Molly’s Cupcakes has limited locations: Chicago, New York and Iowa City. If you’re in one of those locations – you’re in luck. They deliver! And, they have more than cupcakes, like cookies, ice cream, bars, cheesecake and pies. Whatever you decide to try will be delicious. Our favorite part? They stuff a lot of their cupcakes with the best part: more frosting. Bonus: they offer gluten free options.

Painted Pretzel

A little bit of sweet, a little bit of salty: this pretzel company, featured on the hit show Shark Tank lets you send tins, baskets and bins of chocolate covered pretzels. With tons of treats to choose from that look as good as they taste, the Painted Pretzel is sure to have something that’ll hit the spot.

Potato Parcel

Okay, technically a raw potato isn’t a delicious treat. However, what it lacks in deliciousness, it makes up for with humor. Basically, you can create a message to send via potato. With messages for pretty much any occasion you can think up, you can send a variety of versions including potato parcel (message), pal (someone’s face on a potato), postcard (image on a potato). Yep, it’s silly but receiving a bizarre potato in the mail will certainly put a smile on any student’s face.

Sprinkles Cupcakes

Best known for the creation of the world’s first ever 24/7 cupcake (and cookie) ATM, Sprinkles Cupcakes has locations across the nation. They also deliver within four hours or offer a pick-up order option within two. And, don’t let the name fool you. They offer much more than just cupcakes, though that would be enough! In addition to their original cupcake lineup, you can indulge in cookies, ice-cream, shakes and more. Bonus: they offer gluten free options.

Wicked Good Cupcakes

Another business that originated on the show Shark Tank, the edible confections on this site can only be described as “Wicked Good.” They offer it all: cupcakes, cookies, cake, brownies, pies – you name it. You can even order an entire cookie jar filled with cookies! Our favorite? Ready-to-eat cupcakes in jars that look (almost) too good to eat.

Z Baked

Their tagline says it all: “The Booty-Call of Food Delivery Services.” And, that’s a promise that doesn’t disappoint. While they currently offer three locations in Florida (that also deliver) – Z Baked is so delicious it’s still worth a mention. They offer pretty much any sweet treat under the sun so, whatever your craving may be, they’re ready to deliver. Bonus: they offer gluten free options.
