Finals week is a stressful time when you’re in college. Your degree, and therefore your future, depends on you putting in a great performance to end the semester. It would be a tragedy for this one week to ruin the chances you had at a good GPA. And since you’re feeling stressed, you know that your boyfriend is too. Self care is just as important as studying is to get yourself through this time. And while you want to make sure you’re in a good mental space right now, you might want to make sure that your boyfriend is too. A care package filled with snacks could help him through finals week and show him how much you care! 

While struggling through finals, hunger is not something you want to feel. It will be hugely distracting and keep you from focusing as much as you should be. Many people get so caught up in working on necessary tasks, that they neglect to feed their bodies. They set aside their body’s nourishment to put their full focus on their work. It is not actually as helpful as many people believe it is to skip meals. Your mind will not be able to function at its full capacity if you are not feeding it well. 

Sometimes it can be a hassle to get food when you are hyper focused on studying or rushing to your next class, but a good way to handle that issue is to have snacks. Snacks shouldn’t be replacements for full meals, but they are helpful to have throughout the day. In between meals, whenever you get hungry, it is convenient to be able to grab a quick snack that satisfies you until your next meal. When your boyfriend is on the way to an exam, studying in his dorm room, or heading back from his part-time job, he will appreciate having several snacks to choose from. The snacks will quell his hunger, provide lots of satisfaction, and keep his head clear to focus on his studies. A bonus is that he will also have you in mind when he enjoys the treats you got for  him!

A care package is a great way to let your boyfriend know that you care about him. Giving him a gift that keeps him well-fed and comfortable throughout one of the most stressful weeks of the year will really make him feel loved. His week will go by a lot easier because of this thoughtful gift. Since we know how important snacking is during stressful times, we've compiled this list of amazing care packages to give your boyfriend this semester!

Mrs. Fields Finals Survival Checklist Combo Tin

This combo tin is a great gift for the boyfriend that absolutely loves sweet treats! Amazing baked goods are not something you come across very often on campus. Not many people are able to make fresh baked treats in their dorm rooms. And while you probably enjoy the solid cookies that you can get from the corner store, something about gooey, soft-baked cookies is always so incredibly enjoyable! Your boyfriend won’t be able to get enough of these. They are a great way for him to treat himself during a long day of studying. This tin included 24 bite-sized cookies, 18 brownie bites, and two frosted apples. Your boyfriend will love having these little desserts throughout finals week. Treating oneself well is often not a top priority for people during this week, but you can make sure that it is for your boyfriend. 

Specialized Care Packages

For people with dietary restrictions, finding good snacks can be a bit more difficult than it is for the average person. Snacks that explicitly exclude certain ingredients usually have to be searched for, unlike most popular snacks. Not every company makes snacks that suit everyone. Rather than let you search the ingredients of multiple individual snacks, we have arranged different snack packs that cater to different diets. Your boyfriend will appreciate the extra thought that you put into getting him a pack of snacks that he can fully appreciate without worrying about the ingredients! 

Vegan Fall Finals Package 

This vegan care package will be really loved by your boyfriend! Many vegan snacks are not easy to come across. You won’t often find too many of them in stores. Many places lack adequate vegan options, so they are often left with very few choices. For this reason, your boyfriend will really appreciate this care package. He’ll get to have lots of vegan snacks available to him whenever he wants them! He won’t have to waste any time searching for suitable snacks during finals week because you already did the work for him. And it’s very easy work because these vegan snacks all come in one package. You’ll find sweet and savory snacks alike in this box. It contains chickpea puffs, peanut butter crackers, veggie crisps, blow pops, and smarties along with other great snacks. 

Nut Free Fall Finals Package

Nut allergies can be a huge problem for some people. A significant percentage of people have bad reactions to eating nuts. They have to make sure that the food they eat is safe to avoid an allergic reaction. Many snack items contain nuts, and even when they don’t, they’ve often been processed in facilities that handle nuts. This is something people with nut allergies must wade through. We do the work for them with this nut free snack pack! Everything in this pack is safe to eat, so your boyfriend does not have to pay attention to any labels as he enjoys his food. Even if your boyfriend does not have a nut allergy, and simply dislikes them, this is a great way to ensure that he is not stuck with any single snacks that he doesn’t like. He will be quite happy to indulge in this!

Gluten Free Fall Finals Package

If your boyfriend is gluten intolerant, or avoiding gluten for different reasons, this snack pack will be perfect for him. If your body functions better without gluten, it is imperative to have gluten free snacks to get you through your studying. Since these gluten free snacks are all packed together, your boyfriend won't need to bother searching for them. He will really appreciate that you made his snacking convenient for him during this difficult time. And you took out all the guesswork and label reading necessary to avoid gluten! This snack box includes popcorn, chickpea puffs, fruit snacks, and pistachios. Your boyfriend will be full and happy as he focuses on studying with one less distraction. 

Finals are a tough time for everyone, including your boyfriend. He could certainly use a pick me up during this time. Sending him a care package and making his snacking easier is a great way to show him just how much you care!
