The holidays are my favorite time of the year. I love the decorations and the scent of fresh Christmas trees. Since I’ve become a Mom, I’ve also become a huge fan of giving gifts. Every year, I sit down and come up with the perfect gift for each person on our list. I purchase them, wrap them and count the days until I can give them to them.
While I rarely have an issue coming up with gift ideas, this year, it became a bit more challenging when I realized that I’m shopping for a young adult, our niece, who started her first year of college a few months ago. I remember what I loved as a young adult, but let’s face it, it’s not the 90s, and I have no idea what’s considered cool anymore (though you’ll never hear me admitting that to my kids).
This year we’ve decided to focus less on material things that take up space and instead on giving things we actually need. So, in this fashion, I’ve come up with the perfect holiday care package for young adults.
In addition to getting the perfect gift, it’s important to ensure that these gifts are within our budget, so I shop around and search for deals and coupons! You can get free shipping on all Crest products here.
Did you know that Crest Pro-Health toothpaste is the only toothpaste accepted by the American Dental Association to treat all seven attributes:
Plaque
Gingivitis
Cavities
Sensitivity
Tartar
Whitening
Freshens Breath
Crest Pro-Health helps you advance to healthier gums, and stronger teeth with benefits that help protect against areas dentists check most. For more information on Crest, visit crest.com. And make sure to like Crest on Facebook and Instagram or follow @crest on Twitter to receive updates and learn more about oral health.
Next, we listed things she would need while away at college. In addition to the Crest Pro-Health toothpaste, we included some fuzzy socks (for the colder nights), a nail manicure kit, lip balm, a bath bomb, face masks, a sequin makeup bag, shampoo, dry shampoo (for those crazy college mornings when there just isn’t enough time to shower), a back massager and a shower towel. Once we had the necessities, I picked up a gift card (so she could buy herself a little something) and threw in a festive candy cane.
I’d have to say that this is a care package I would have loved to receive when I was in college, and I’m sure she will love it too!

Hi! I’m Heather, Mom of 3, professional snack opener, the only person who knows where everything is in my house and part-time magician (I can turn a bunch of candy into a gift basket and everyone thinks it’s amazing). I share a mix of parenting moments, easy recipes, crafts, and DIY home decor projects.
Around here, we love turning ordinary stuff into extraordinary gifts, from candy box baskets and birthday punch boards to homemade advent calendars and other crafty chaos that somehow always works out.

This is an awesome idea for a young adult! My niece is 19 this year and about to go out on her own so this care package would be an amazing gift to give to her.
I remember as a young adult I hated buying toiletry items, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, bath stuff. What a great idea. You could stock them up for a good part of the year.
I think that anybody would love to receive a package like this! I love useful things! They are always welcome!
Such a great idea! I know I would have loved to get one of these in college. Honestly, I’d like one of them today.
These are great selections of a care package for our children. Very helpful tips, I will write down all of it.

Wow! Such a wonderful idea that many pieces of stuff in one box. I wish that my mum think she would give me this.
