College Care Package

I need some help/ideas. I want to send a care package to DH's little bro in college for Valentine's Day but need some ideas on cool guy things to include. Any suggestions?

money is probably what college kids want the most. but some other items you can put in there:

candy
non perishable food that he likes
pens/pencils
batteries for his iPod
magazines that he likes

Things my mom used to send to me in college that were always appreciated:

-pretzels/chips/doritos/cheeseballs
-cookies (homemade or store-bought)
-ramen noodles (gotta love 'em)
-Mac & cheese
-hard candy - Jolly Ranchers, etc.
-gum (but I really like gum - it's kind of weird)
-instant coffee or regular coffee if he has a coffeemaker

YES! I forgot about the popcorn!! I used to stink up my whole hallway real good with that stuff That's a really good idea - a little 'movie night' popcorn bucket filled with microwave popcorn, some movie theatre type candy and a few fun DVDs (Swingers, Rounders, Sopranos, Big Lebowski, Office Space, etc.).

Re: College Care Package

Some toiletry items--razors or whatever. Find out what movie theatre is in his town and get some gift certificates. Send staple items like T shirts. If he doesn't have a camera, send a disposable one. If he has digital, send a gift cert. for shutterfly.
