Texas gift baskets filled with delicious Texas goodies can bring some comfort and joy to college students.

1. Texas Gift Baskets and Gift Ideas for the College Bound
Whether you’re looking for a gift that will ease the transition for a new college freshman
or something to milestone the beginning of a senior’s final year, sending a back-to-school
gift can bring some comfort and joy to college students that are already homesick.
College students have enough to worry about--remembering where their classes are
located on campus and getting along with new roommates. A back-to-school gift is your
opportunity to send your loved ones some delicious Texas goodies and let them know
you’re thinking of them. The best support you can offer from afar is a gift basket filled
with Texas treats.
With the start of school, college students can become homesick for that cherished home
cooking that got them through the summer. A new semester can be a stressful time when
kids need to be reminded of their home-base support, and all college kids love to eat. Gift
baskets are the best because you can include a variety of gifts. Below are a few gift
suggestions to help college students from Texas navigate their new independent lives.
By sending them Texas gift baskets, their school year can start off right with a touch of
Texas comfort. Let’s face it, college students are still kids for the most part and at the
beginning of school long for the relaxing reminder of home. As syllabus shock greets
them the first week of school they are tempted to drown that in the local Chick-fil-a.
However, that can be a lonely experience – trust me. By sending them a gift that can
replace those food runs, you make the experience a relational one! Your Texas gift basket
can include:
- Wild West Cookies (2 oz.)
- Cowboy Snack Mix (2 oz.)
- Padre’s Popcorn (2 oz.)
- Texas Tortilla Chips (2.5 oz.)
- Texas Firecrackers – spicy baked snack crackers with a Texas kick! (2.75 oz.)

- Texas Pralines
- Texas jelly beans

3. If this list did not whet your appetite, then maybe Texas jams, jellies and honey that are
thrown in with it will! Also, take a gander at the college-specific gift baskets for UT,
A&M, or Baylor students. Go one step further and put together your own gift basket by
browsing the College Care Package Ideas section of the website! Every student has their
own style!
If you don’t know any students but have a sincere desire to make someone’s day with a
tasty gift think about sending this gift to a soldier overseas, using it as a welcome basket
to that neighbor down the street, or delighting a Texan who was forced to move out of
state with a reminder of Texas’ rich flavor! So send that displaced Texan a gift box filled
with tastes of the Lone Star State!
