Boyfriend’s care packages have been a staple of college relationships for years! I mean they’re the perfect way to show your special someone you’re thinking about them and that you care when they’re away.
Care packages 🎁🧧 allow you to send a little bit of home when your special someone is away. Whether it’s a box filled with snacks and goodies, or a heartfelt letter letting them know you miss them, care packages can really help bridge the gap of miles and time apart.
I know my guy is always so appreciative when I surprise him with a care package! He loves getting little reminders of me and our relationship, and it’s nice to know that I’m able to make him feel special and supported even when we can’t be together.
So, if you’re looking for a way to show your significant other that you care, don’t forget about the classic care package. It’s sure to put a smile on their face! Happy sending! 😉

And First…The Gift Box
I promise you this is important even if you want to skip straight to buying all the “fun” stuff! Don’t just toss the gifts you get for your boyfriend’s care package in any old box. Yeah, it’s totally, totally cliche, but first impressions really do count.
You want him to – BAM! – be blown away as soon as he sees the packaging and the time you’ve taken with it. For real, taking the time to pick out something really special definitely matters.
And I highly recommend you add your own flair to whatever you pick. Personalization is the name of the game because there is NO relationship out there like yours.
Look at these care package box options. I’ve purposefully chosen customizable gift boxes because this is crucial to really make an impact.
- Silver box with magnetic closure
- Black box with magnetic closure, ribbon, and paper filler
- Red gift box with lid
- Explosion” photo gift box (I absolutely LOVE this one and think you will too)
*** Important note – choose a box that will be big enough for the number/size of items you want to put in it.
Now, remember what I said about personalization? You’re going to take your box and paste photos of the two of you on it as well as things like quotes you love as a couple, funny memories together, and notes about how much you love your boyfriend. This will be so special.
Here are some crafty examples:

Decorating the perfect box is fun and meaningful, but you can’t have the perfect care package without amazing stuff to go inside the box. Now, exactly what you choose will depend on the vibe you have in your relationship and the occasion it’s for. I’m here to get those wheels turning so you can find the perfect items for your boo.

In addition to sweet gifts, give him actual sweets and all of his favorite snacks in his care package. There are few more surefire ways into a man’s heart than through his stomach.
Now, you can get boxes of food and snacks that are put together for you (like this one). But I highly recommend really personalizing the care package for your college man.
