<p>Tomorrow is Pi Day (3-14) so I just called a bakery near my daughter’s college (Carleton) and ordered a pie to be delivered tomorrow. It happens to correspond with her last final as an added bonus.</p>
<p>The other care package I’ve done several times is invite a group of mom’s to bring a few dozen treats to swap. I get a load of flat rate boxes, tape, and some note cards. We get to enjoy coffee and chatting while preparing care packages for our kids and the kids get a wide variety with a card signed by their friends’ moms.</p>
<p>Love the mom swap make packages idea, nice way to keep in touch with friends you primarily saw because of the kids after the kids have gone to college.</p>
<p>Curious - how are package deliveries typically handled in college? I know they have PO boxes, is there a notice, is is left by the dorm room door, is it held in the PO…?</p>
<p>At Carleton, she gets a notice in her mail box for anything too big to fit. However, if I send a small bouquet of flowers (there’s a tradition of Friday Flowers) it is tucked directly in the mailbox (which is unlocked). Friday mornings looked great with lots of bouquets sticking out of the kid’s boxes.</p>
