Best Big/Little Gifts!
 

Hey everyone!

I was wondering what you all think makes the best gifts to give your little during revelation week.

Do you give little riddle/hints, as well?

Thanks!

At my local sorority, we do 4 gifts throughout the week, each with a hint about who we are. The hints are normally pretty vague so the little doesn't figure it out easily. We also have specific themes for each day, like jewelry, home decor, and shirts. My favorite thing that I got for my little was on the first day, which is their favorite food or dessert, i got a clear bucket that looks like a paint bucket and decorated the outside with puff paint and stickers then filled it with her favorite candy. I also decorated a picture frame for one of the days. I personally love making crafty things.

At my chapter, we spelled out PHI MU with gifts over the five days preceding Big/Little Reveal. The days consisted of gives based around Pictures, Hearts, Inspiration, Mister Lion, and Unique. At the end of the week, the bigs' names were revealed to the littles. The week prior to Initiation, some of the bigs participated in Inspiration Week, also represented by spelling out PHI MU (but I honestly can't remember what the letters stood for that week).

When I got both of my littles, at big/little revelation, I gave them each a pin box. I also gave my 2nd little a badge guard along with her box so she would have one when her badge arrived (and gave one to my 1st little at the same time so she would have one, too).

my big and i did this together, but i plan on having one made for my little next year:
