Laundry Care Package: Gather Your Supplies
To create your DIY care package gather your supplies and download the FREE Printable Have Loads of Fun in College gift tag.
Supply List:
White Cardstock Paper
Cellophane Gift Bag – Make sure you select one for the size basket and the items you plan to use. This links to a 16″ x 30″ inch bag. You don’t want one too huge and you don’t want one that your stuff wont fit in.
Empty Basket – I did not use one when I made this care package, but it would be easier to carry if it had one. Choose the size basked on the size of the items you plan to use.
Basket Filler – Crinkle cut shred keeps your items from sinking to the bottom and also makes the basket pop with some color.
Laundry Soap
Stain Remover
Downey Wrinkle Release Spray
OxiClean Pods – I used Bleach Crystals when I first made this basket, but today I would use Oxy Clean Pods.
Do Your Laundry or You’ll Die Alone by Becky Blades is the most adorable graduation gift book I have seen. The advice is written in short, numbered paragraphs in a fun tone – something a college bound 18 year old might actually read.
Roll of quarters: Many dorms now offer the kids free access to washers and dryers, so they may not need the rolls of quarters anymore, but they always like money and gift cards.
Dryer sheets

Do Your Laundry or You’ll Die Alone
Buy Now →Laundry Care Package: Super Size It
You can super size your laundry care package by using a full size laundry basket, using larger laundry products, and adding more gift items like these.
This would make a great graduation gift!
Clothing Steamer: A clothing steamer is so much easier to use and takes up so much less room than an ironing board and iron. All of my kids appreciated their steamers.
Clothesline: Many clothes need to be hung dry and a clothesline sure is handy rather than draping things over the back of chairs.
