I have a little something different for you today!
How to make a College Survival Kit.
High school graduation is such an exciting time and there is so much to look forward to.
For my cousin who graduates in just a few days, I thought the perfect gift would be a College Survival Kit.
I took to Pinterest to see what kind of ideas were out there. Most of the kits were in boxes, or plastic totes. However, I thought it would be nice for my cousin to have a tote bag. Just in case her dorm room was too small to have a plastic tote. This way she can unpack the bag and put the stuff where she actually needs it to be.
If I was heading to college soon, this would be the gift I would want. It’s all the little stuff that we don’t realize we need until we are without Mom and need it.
To see all the contents of the bag you can watch this video.

Don’t forget safety pins and a mini sewing kit. I enjoy your blog, but have a SU demonstrator in my home town.
Blessings, Liz M

I will show my age ….my gifts included an iron, an umbrella and a cross fountain pen and pencil set!! Another generation that is for sure. Bandaids are always needed. Also one of those little hammers with a screw driver inside.

First aid kit. Scissors, nail polish remover, toothpaste/brush. Fun things would be movie gift certificate, Dairy Queen certificate or any food outlet, calling card for long distance calls home.

Hi Wendy, Great idea. I’m sure that she will love this kit and find it very useful. I did something similar for my two nephews when they were in college, but my “survival” packages contained food. I sent quarterly survival packages to the two boys for eight, yes, count them, 8 years (their college times overlapped). They greatly appreciated them and devoured them quickly. I had fun doing it, and didn’t even mind the shipping costs (I’m in MI, the boys went to school in PA.) The additional suggestions that you’ve been getting are great ideas, too. Keep up the good work!
