If you’re looking for a fun and festive way to send some love this spring, an Easter Peeps college CARE PACKAGE is the perfect surprise for your college student! As a mom of a college-aged son, I wanted to send a little piece of home to campus—and what better way to do it than with an Easter-themed care package full of colorful Peeps?
This year, I went all in on a Peeps theme, and it turned out so cute that I had to share! Whether you’re putting together your own college care package for Easter or just looking for Peeps gift ideas, here’s how I made it special—and super sweet.
What’s Inside the Easter Peeps College Care Package?
I had a blast shopping for all things Peeps, and it turns out there are so many flavors and themed goodies out there! Here’s what I included:
- Assorted Flavors of Peeps Marshmallow Treats. I picked up a variety so he could share with his friends (aka his peeps) or save them for late-night study snacks.
- Plush Peep. A soft, squishy plush Peep added a cozy touch—and it’s a fun little dorm decoration too.
- Peeps lip balm. Yes, it’s a thing! Peeps-flavored lip balm is not only adorable but also a quirky little addition to the box.
The Finishing Touch: A Fun Quote on the Box
To make it even more personal, I decorated the inside lid of the care package with the quote:
“For you and your PEEPS!”
It brought the whole theme together and added a little humor. I used Canva to create the design, printed, and glued on to the box flaps.
Why a Peeps-Themed Easter Care Package?
When it comes to college care package ideas, I love leaning into seasonal themes. A Peeps Easter package is colorful, playful, and easy to put together. It brings a bit of holiday spirit to campus life and reminds them they’re loved—even from miles away.
This kind of themed package is perfect if you’re short on time but still want to make something personal and fun. Peeps are inexpensive, easy to find, and come in so many variations these days that you can really get creative.
Tips for Mailing an Easter College Care Package
• Use a sturdy Priority Mail box from the post office to make shipping simple.
• Add Easter grass if there’s extra space in the box
• Add a personal note or card to make it extra special.
• Try to ship early so it arrives before Easter weekend.
Final Thoughts
Sending a college Easter care package is such a thoughtful way to show you’re thinking of your student—even during a busy semester. And with a theme as fun as Peeps, you’re sure to bring a smile to their face (and maybe even get a text back!).
