I made this Freshman College Survival Kit Ideas gift container for a friend of mine. I gave it to her as her high school graduation gift since she was moving to college that summer. There are always unexpected items that you need at college and don’t want to run to the store one more time. Items we take for granted when we live at home.

I put everything into a large caddy that can be used for the community showers since most freshmen are required to live in the dorm. You could also use a storage container with a lid or large laundry basket. Remember space is limited and it’s good to have items that serve multiple functions.

Wrap the container is clear wrap and tie with a pretty ribbon and cute card or printable.

What else would you add to a Freshman College Survival Kit?

    We have 12 graduating seniors in our church. We have a container set up in the foyer to collect dorm room items. Upon graduation, we will present each senior with a nice basket.Some of our suggested items are cleaning/laundry supplies, college school supplies, towels, gift cards, and etc.

    This is a great list, too bad the students are just now finishing the school year. At least here in Canada.
