I'm putting together a care package for my boyfriend in college. I have already have two different type of cookies, brownies, and rice cripies treats. Does anyone have any other ideas to put in the package.... He already has all the DVD's, Videos games and ipod. He has all that, so thats out of the question.

I make those for my boyfriend all the time! It really depends on what he likes. For my boyfriend, I always add sour gummy worms and Mike & Ike's which are his favorite candies I also add his favorite gum. If you can, try making some homemade candies or just buy some of his favorites.
Sometimes, I put in things like Hamburger Helper singles, Ramen or Easy Mac, again stuff he likes but also things he could actually eat for a meal instead of just a snack. Chef Boyardee or popcorn works, too.
As for non-foodstuffs, I like to stick post-its on each item saying something about why I got that particular item for him or an inside joke between us, just something to make him smile. Pictures are also a great idea, whether it's pictures of just you or the two of you together. I usually include a card, sometimes homemade (out of constuction paper and pictures of me or the two of us) sometimes storebought.
Oh, and when you're talking to him if mentions anything he needs/wants include that, too. Even if it's somthing that seems stupid, it will be well-appreciated. Last time I sent a care package to my boyfriend I included some super glue because he mentioned needing some.
Hope that helps!

Well if you guys are like the fun type of couple you could try - Moves, DVD's, other types of CD's (good idea making him a CD) - Thoughtful presents based on his personality, maybe some candy or something. - Little letters with promises like "we can go party one night when I get back" or like "let's have some fun next week. love you xoxo" - Inside jokes or things to make him smile If you guys are like a mushy romantic couple - Letters pre-written to say stuff like I miss you lots can't wait to get home, even though you're gone he'd know how thoughtful they are - Photos of you two for when you shared a great moment - A little stuffed animal with a heart or something, or maybe like a locket. Stuff like that is always nice. Oh and that one person who was joking around and said PENTHOUSE!, well, you might or might not take my advice but if my girlfriend left that in a care package, I'd think she was the greatest ever and she really understands the male population. so that joke might actually not be that bad of an idea. but that's just if you wanna be kinda out there.

Try some fruits or Energy Drinks. Additionally, there is always something new among DVDs that he may not have.

Cutesy framed picture of you both?
Old movie tickets to something you went to see?
Menu from a favorite restaurant?
A letter from his sweetie, telling him how much you miss him?

I'd send a teddy bear with a video camera inside that can send the feed straight to your computer...
