Thanks to everyone for great tips! I have one recent college graduate and one still 1000 miles away at college. I just sent a care package for mid-terms. I made the KAF breakfast cookies, because we all know most college sons won't make themselves a healthy breakfast! I lined the bottom of a medium priority mail box with bubble wrap, packed the cookies with wax paper between each one in an empty oatmeal box, added mason jars of homemade jam in bubble wrap, then stuffed any remaining room with new underwear and socks ("sustainable packing material"). I have used the empty oatmeal box for cookies for years and they always seem to get there in tact.
