The only thing separating college students from a semester filled with eating nothing but Ramen and drinking nothing but Ramen could be the Pijon Box. This gift box was designed specifically for college students and comes packed with snacks, hygiene products and gadgets. The box allows parents to send a care package to their kids without actually having to spend the time making one.
Pijon Box offers boxes for both boys and girls and lets parents schedule deliveries in advance. The startup promises $40-$55 worth of goodies inside each box (subscriptions range from $25/month to $29/month.) Pijon Box donates proceeds from its sales to Project Night Night, a charity that donates care packages to needy children.
