This [gift box](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mytherabox) was designed specifically for college students and comes packed with [snacks, hygiene products and gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skin-caddy). 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/give-deliciously-collection). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Personalized Care Packages:** Opportunity to create customized care packages for various demographics, such as college students, with a focus on convenience and value. - **Subscription Box Services:** Disruption in the gifting industry by offering curated subscription boxes with a targeted audience and scheduled deliveries. - **Socially Responsible Gifting:** Incorporating charitable partnerships into gifting services for a socially conscious customer base. ### Where This Applies - **E-commerce:** Expanding online retail opportunities by offering specialized gift boxes tailored to specific customer needs. - **Logistics/delivery Services:** Innovating delivery systems to accommodate scheduled shipments of personalized care packages. - **Charitable Foundations:** Collaborating with gifting services to extend their reach and support social causes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Student Skincare Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/student-skincare.md) - [Math Project Subscription Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoomybox.md) - [Pantry-Favorites Subscription Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-balanced-company.md) - [Birthday-Ready Snack Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curated-snack-box1.md) - [Kid-Focused Meal Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b-box.md) - [Postpartum Snack Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postpartum-snack-box.md) - [University Starter Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/university-starter-kit.md) - [Children's STEM Subscription Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engino-stem-club.md) - [Customizable Party-Size Snack Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/partysize-snack-box.md)
