NEW YORK, NY (10/11/2011)(readMedia)-- For the sixth year in a row, Box-O-Box is offering the first and only college care package for Halloween that includes a real pumpkin.

Since 2006, the Halloween-themed care package, called, "Box-O-Ween" has been thrilling parents and scaring students by bringing the neighborhood fun of Halloween to college campuses across the country. Unlike other care packages on the market, Box-O-Ween includes not only the staple Halloween items like candy corn and chocolate, but adds more fun with items like:

• A Real Pumpkin & Carving Kit

• Candy Fangs

• Pumpkin Spice Cookies

• Broomstick Fuel Chocolate

"Being the only company world-wide to do this, we took a big risk to include a real pumpkin in our care packages but the response has been tremendous," said Justin Zucker, Snack Guru, COO and Co-Founder. "We truly bring trick-or-treating to the students wherever they go to school."

Box-O-Ween also includes a hilarious "How-To" guide on carving pumpkins which shows the step-by-step process with the Box-O-Ween character.

"Parents call us in shock over the fact that they can send their students a real pumpkin, trick-or-treat candy and more with the click of a mouse," said Michael S. Hauke, President and CEO. "And then the parents get a call from their child telling them how much fun this is. At the very least, we get the kids to finally call home! But seriously, Halloween is one of those holidays that is nostalgic to students and parents alike, and this care package really brings the neighborhood fun all the way to college."
