I have done these boxes with all three of my kiddos going off to college, and it has been the most helpful thing sent! Three Rubbermaid boxes that I labeled and filled with all the things. When being away from home, the convenience of having these items was essential. Especially the first-aid/sick box. As a mom, there is nothing worse than getting that dreaded phone call that your kiddo doesn’t feel well. Having the peace of mind that they can go to the box and not worry about how they are going to make it to the store is great!  Toiletry box is all overstock so they need to make it until the first break when they come home, and you can stock them up again. The supply box is all the essentials you will need on move-in day and beyond.  Scissors, zip ties, batteries, all the things in one place! All my kids have told me repeatedly how much they use these boxes, as well as all the new friends they have met, who need this or that! We restock them when we visit or when they come home. It is a little bit of an investment gathering all of the items, but the peace of mind is priceless.
