Homemaker Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 What are some good items to send to a college student in a care package? I would like to send my niece one, who just started across the country, but can't think of much food things to include that won't spoil! I can't in good conscience put candy bars or ramen noodles in one. Anyone have any ideas?? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munchkins_mama Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Almonds, dehydrated fruits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momof3littles Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Do you have a Trader Joe's? I'd send a variety of nuts (regular almonds, smoke almonds, rosemary marcona almonds, etc), maybe some unsweetened dried fruits. Seaweed snacks? A few Lara bars?

plath Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 What about high quality canned fish? Wild salmon, anchovies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godsaggie Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Lara Bars are a wonderful whole food bar. Oatmeal, raisins, dried fruit, & other things to make homemade granola. Candied nuts: heat your walnuts or almonds or pecans in your saute pan until they are well toasted. add maple syrup and stir until crystals form. So yummy! I got this recipe from Nourishing Traditions. And if she is really following Weston A. Price, she wouldn't want nuts that aren't refrigerated. Nuts that are kept at room temp go rancid easily. Is there a local natural foods store near her college? Maybe get a gift card for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnaM Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 In this case I would suggest a gift card. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Nuts and beef jerky. If you can ship it easily, maybe homemade bread/muffins made to WAP specifications? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
