College care packages created with your handpicked surprises.

For The Collegiate

They say the pen is mightier than the sword, but what about when you need to do a crossword puzzle or write and rewrite the opening line of your magnum opus to get it JUST right? You'd better turn to good old graphite. This gift is a simple pencil and paper set that promises hours of entertainment and creativity. It includes a sleek black Moleskine notebook and a box of twelve Palomino Blackwing 602 pencils, both favored tools of right-brained people everywhere, and a set of retro paper games like Dots & Boxes and Tic-Tac-Toe (perfect for airplane rides and long waits at the DMV). This gift also comes with a specialty pencil sharpener to keep your Blackwing 602 in tip-top shape.

Assorted Cookie Trio

The Essential Baking Company

The ultimate treat for the cookie lover who just can't make up their mind. This trio of large-sized all-natural assorted cookies (3 per box) from Seattle's Essential Baking Company includes classic chocolate chip that's the perfect blend of chewy and crisp, tender oatmeal raisin, and sweet spicy snickerdoodle. They're big enough to share, or slice them up to sample a little bit of everything! Boxed set includes three 5" cookies, each packed in an individual cello bag for freshness.

The Ultimate Care Package

There's a lot to love about this care package; it's the ultimate blend of sweet, salty, chewy, and crunchy treats all in one box.

Sugar And Spice

Some like it hot, and some like to temper the heat with a hint of something sweet. Ignite their tastebuds with this gift set of sweet and spicy snacks--it's everything nice, indeed.

Coconut Brownie Quartet

Street Treats

Turns out you CAN buy happiness--the smiles on our faces after enjoying Street Treats' fantastically indulgent coconut brownies are proof. Baker and owner Diane Skwiercz has topped dense dark chocolate brownies with a layer of sweet, chewy coconut toasted to perfection, and the result is a confection that's hard to forget. Each brownie measures approximately 3" left to right, 2" front to back, 1" top to bottom, and each bag contains 4 brownies.

Hammock & Chill

Kick back, relax, and while away a summer day in Coalatree's eco-friendly Loafer Hammock. Bring snacks, because once you're in, you won't want to leave.

Simply Savory

When a sweet tooth is nowhere to be found, call in the savory snacks. Crispy, salty, cheesy, spicy--this gift set has something to satisfy even the most discerning tastebuds.

Salted Brown Butter Rice Crispy Bar Quartet

Street Treats

Street Treats' salted brown butter rice crispy treats are chewy, crispy, comfortingly familiar, yet unlike anything you've ever tasted before. Owner and sweets maven Diane Skwiercz douses crisp puffed rice with a mixture of marshmallow and brown butter, punctuated with tiny bursts of sea salt to cut the richness--the result is delectable. Cello bag contains 4 bars that measure approximately 3" left to right, 2" front to back, 1.5" top to bottom.

Nut Free Nibbles

Nothing spoils a snack faster than an allergy attack. We screened our stash of gourmet goodies and came up with a collection of nut-free treats fit for feasting.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Trio

The Essential Baking Company

These giant chocolate chip cookies (3 per box) from Seattle's Essential Baking Company are the perfect treat for any occasion, whether you need to comfort, congratulate, or simply send a little pick-me-up. Share with friends, enjoy with a glass of milk, or pair with vanilla ice cream for a decadent ice cream sandwich. Boxed set includes three 5" cookies, each packed in an individual cello bag for freshness.

Game Night Starter Kit

Cards Against Humanity is an icebreaker for the ages. Grab friends, roommates, and perfect strangers for a game night that can only be described as “rollicking.”

The Grand View Hammock

Coalatree

"Just hangin' around" never looked so stylish. Coalatree's Grand View hammock is made of a lightweight, durable parachute nylon in a brilliant 12-color pattern that packs compactly into the attached stuff sack and unfurls easily wherever you'd like to set up your hanging paradise. Fits 2 people comfortably (weight limit 450 lbs) and includes 2 included ropes for secure setup. Weight: 13.4 oz.

Vacuum Insulated Daily Tumbler

MiiR

The MiiR Daily Tumbler replaces the traditional paper cup for morning coffee. The Tumbler holds 12oz. of your favorite beverage and is compatible with most cup holders. MiiR's double wall vacuum insulation technology keeps drinks at their ideal temperature and the stainless steel construction doesn't transfer flavor or leave an aftertaste. BPA Free container. BPA-free press-on lid included. 5.75" tall with lid. Every MiiR tumbler includes a Give Code on the bottom. Register the code at MiiR.com/Give to track the clean water project you've helped to fund.

Gloriously Gluten-Free

Have you bid goodbye to gluten? You won't even miss it. This stash of snacks is completely gluten-free and designed to satisfy any craving, from sweet to savory.

Cold Brew & Mason Jar Kit

Knack

Nothing says "hellooo summer!" like a perfect iced coffee. The Cold Brew & Mason Jar kit with Grady's Cold Brew Bean Bags is an incredibly easy way to make your own cold brew concentrate.

Never Enough Chocolate

We all know the importance of a balanced diet, so don't go filling up on just one kind of chocolate. This gift is a treasure trove for the chocolate lover.

Caffeine Fix

Send this gift to the seasoned caffeine fiend, who won't blink twice (come to think of it, have you seen them blink at all recently?) at diving right in to this collection of coffee essentials.

Gourmet Snack Assortment

Enjoy this selection of gourmet treats ready for immediate sampling and sharing. This collection makes a terrific care package or thank you gift for clients.

College Care Packages 101: Don't Call It Bribery

Mom and Dad, your back-to-school assignment is this: make sure your college student calls home, and do it in the most creative and adoring way possible. We gave you the lowdown in our blog about how to make a great care college package for your college student

In case you need more convincing to send a Knack care package, here’s the Cliffsnotes version of what makes ours special:

Knack care packages are high quality.
Consider us the anti vending machine. We source delicious, non-perishable snacks that are (mostly) healthy. You’ve practically got that Most Valuable Parent award locked down already.
They’re as unique as your student.
Our college care package ideas and possibilities are endless. If your kid wants shower gel, gummy bears, and a stapler --you can make that very gift in just a few clicks. On the other hand, if she’s a fervent letter writer who lives for color-coordinated notes, there’s an easy gift set for her, too.
They’re the easiest gifts you’ve ever made.
Find care package ideas for your college kid and swap items to customize until it’s perfect, or send a handpicked collection of gifts from our care package products. Write a personal note and we’ll include it with a custom booklet in their gift, which we pack beautifully. Give us an important deadline ahead of time, and we’ll even make sure their gift is delivered exactly when you want it to arrive--in time for their final exams or the first Halloween away from home. Basically, we do everything but their laundry.
