A College Gift Basket: One Parent Gives Her Ideas I've always thought that giving someone a gift or gift basket was a pretty good way to celebrate a special occasion. And sending a teenager off to college is one of those events. This is a family milestone that has everyone emotionally involved. No amount of preparation is complete when the time comes to leave the nest but for mom and dad it sure is the beginning of a brand new chapter. And at that time of the year, cars full of teens and all their personal belongings are pulling up to college campuses to transfer everything to a space that will be their new home. But otherwise, it all gets sorted out. This why care packages were invented. On the other end will be teens eagerly awaiting these supplies that will make dorm life livable for them. A new room always needs some fixing up before it's livable and it's even likely that it becomes a remodeling project. Once all the roommates get acquainted they can pool their ideas and resources and get down to mapping out how to decorate their new space. Once things are settled moms are brought into the picture to help out. Along with the throw rug, bed spread and table lamp that needed to be shopped for I saw this as the perfect opportunity to send a welcome, a college gift basket, to these college kids. Imagine how pleased all the new roommates will be to receive such a festive token to commemorate a group of young people starting out together in what may become lasting friendships. If you have a gift basket supplier, you've used before, that's good. Or, by browsing the internet for a college gift basket you'll get an idea of what's available and what will suit your pocketbook. Keep an eye out for what is popular, which could be a simple movie night theme or a wholesome basket of fruits and cheeses. You may pick up a few suggestions that you can use for your own baskets. Your own gift baskets can be an inexpensive experience by cutting up old magazines for handmade cards. These could work nicely with a coffee lovers gift basket theme. A suggestion that was handed on to me was by a mom who said she always kept a drawer of dime store novelties on hand. I always have something like a handmade card, finger puppets or moon pies in my college baskets. It might inspire you to throw in a wind up toy, a cute finger puppet monkey or an etch-a-sketch as a way to put a light spin on things. Any college grad can tell you how important care packages were in those campus years. It could have been college gift baskets to deal with the college blues or a just-in-time basket to celebrate high marks on an exam. Many of these gift baskets sent to me in college were really just small boxes, with a few things, but to me they provided a physical link with home that I still recall.
