Wasn't sure where to put this,
I wanted to put together graduation care packages for friends and I have no idea what else to put in them!
So far I have:
Pens and pencils,
Little note books to write down their thoughts in if there's no one to talk to,
Paper clips,
Hersey's kisses for when they need a kiss,
Lollipops for when they're feeling down.

I want to do two or three more things.
Comment with any more ideas pleasee(: They need to be inexpensive things that everyone will need in college. I say inexpensive because I have to make 13 of them... xD

pads of Post-It Notes
nice-sized rubberbands
postage stamps
3x5 note cards
Tootsie Pops
Chap-Stik
glue-stik
white-out
desk calendar/calendar
staple remover
blank postcards
Scotch tape
bubble packets of Aleve/aspirin/Tylenol

How about burning a CD for each of them made up of pictures over the school years.

If they are heading out of town, maybe take some pictures of all the familiar places.

Hi, HighSchoolGirly!

Do you know where each of them is going to be going to college, please?

Thanks!

Hmm... decoration stuff is always nice, maybe that anti stick tape to hang posters, or even a poster if you know what they like, picture frames are always good too (I have like 10 in my dorm room) and they help remind you of home. I know most book stores have college life related books that are good for a laugh and are fairly cheap though enjoyable.
Hat else... a key chain or a lanyard for the room keys and student ID, a planner, gum (good no matter what age), a mini fan (the dorms at my school don't have ac, so the first few weeks are HOT. They have little mini fans at most stores and they're so cute), a piggy bank (never too late to start saving), if they have a lap top one of those foamy cases are always nice and they're fairly priced and hand because then you can just throw the laptop into a backpack, an alarm clock, a stapler, binder clips (office max has a mix and match thing with cool binder clips with designs), a mini first aide kit, those removable window design things, a mini white board, highligthers, sharpies, a sewing kit, shower shoes, hmm... can't think of much else.

Good luck finding stuff!
And congrats to the grads!

Sometimes at a Dollar store you can pick up a cheap disposable camera. Also blank cd/s are cheap too.

Thanks to everyone who posted. Everyone who has received a kit so far loved it. Everyone had great ideas. (:
And again, thank you all!=D

You're most welcome! So what did you put in your kit??

I added a pack of post it notes, a pack of index cards, glue stick,
White-out, chapstick, a pack of orbit gum, mini staplers and staples, bandaids, and a couple pictures of some memorable moments(:

I like your idea, and I like the assortment of little gifts you chose to include. I'm sure all will come in handy for each recipient. They will remember you with great fondness.
