November

The Thankful Box

For the weeks between midterms and finals, when home feels furthest away. Six to nine warm, comforting, genuinely useful things, chosen the way we'd choose for our own kids.

  • Something warm to drink
  • A snack, sweet and salty
  • Something cozy to curl up in
  • A small self-care ritual
  • Something for finals week
  • A special surprise
  • Your note, printed on a card

Every subscriber receives the same curated box.

Our story
"With my son heading to college in a few years, I keep thinking about how quickly this next chapter arrives."

I started Totes of Love to make it easy for parents and families to send thoughtful, high-quality care packages without the time and hassle of shopping, packing, and shipping everything themselves. Every box is curated with practical essentials, comforting favorites, and a few fun surprises, so college students feel supported no matter how far from home they are.
