Our standards
Good quality products. Every box packed with care.
Most care packages are filler with a bow on it. Ours are short on purpose: nine things a college student will actually be glad to open, chosen the way a parent chooses, and packed one box at a time.
Never in the box
- Anything I wouldn't send my own daughter
- Filler to make the box look full
- Off-brand mystery snacks
- Anything close to its expiration date
Always in the box
- Name-brand snacks — Chomps, Siete, Magic Spoon, Trubar
- Full-size, not sample-size
- Every box packed by hand, one at a time
- A printed You've Got This card, plus a note from you
- Chosen thoughtfully, sent with love
How we decide.
Would I send this to my own daughter?
That's the whole test. If the answer is no, it doesn't go in the box — no matter how cheap it is or how full it makes the box look.
Brands they already love
Chomps, Siete, Magic Spoon, Trubar, Goldfish. Snacks a college student would pick for themselves, not the ones a parent guesses at.
Full-size, not sample-size
Trial packets feel like a con. Everything in the box is the size you'd buy at the store, and enough of it to matter for more than one night.
Packed by hand, one at a time
Every box is packed at a kitchen table in North Carolina, with your note printed on the card and placed on top. Chosen thoughtfully, sent with love.
Packaging
A pink box or a black one, lined with yellow pinstripe tissue.
Opening it should feel like a gift, not a shipment. Every box carries the Monday Mail label, and your printed card sits right on top.
