A College Gift Basket: A Parent Gives Her Experience
I've always thought a wonderful way to celebrate an important situation is with a gift or gift basket. And one of those is surely sending a daughter or son off to college. Anyone who has ever had the experience can sympathize with your emotional stress. If your life were a book, this would be time to start a new chapter.
And at that time of the year, cars full of teenagers and all their personal belongings are pulling up to college campuses to transfer everything to a space that will be their new home. It makes for a long day but it all gets done somehow. It makes for a long day but it all all gets done somehow. And what follows, soon after, is a stream of care packages filled with urgently needed items.
Fixing up a new room to make it suitable and with a new look will be an early project. A new room always needs some fixing up before it's livable and it's even likely that it becomes a decorating project. Once things are settled moms are brought into the picture to help out.
In addition to the "essential" stuff that needs to be sent, it's a good chance for mom to think about sending a welcome gift like a college gift basket. I was happy I did, it was a big icebreaker for a group of young people who might be about to start lifelong friendships.
If you have a gift basket provider, you've used before, that's good. Or, by searching the internet for a college gift basket you'll get an idea of what's available and what will suit your pocketbook. These gift basket creators will give you an idea of what's trendy and what's available. Searching mail order sites will also offer you ideas for care packages of your own.
Your own gift baskets can be an economical 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 available. 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.
You probably have your own thoughts of homesickness and care packages during those college days. I knew kids who got them as regular as clockwork, the exact same day every week. For me, those college gift baskets helped when funds were tight and made me laugh with some of the crazy things mom would tuck away in them. For me that box was home.
