grad present
i have kind of started a tradition with high school grads buying giving them a gift basket...
i start off with one of those big tubs that you can get at walmart/target/whatever that some kids use as laundry baskets. then i just load it up with stuff that i used, or think they might enjoy. i do the basics like, a pair of flip flops for the shower, cubes of sticky notes, a t-shirt of the school their going to...then i added stuff like the big rand mcnally road atlas if they're going far away, or even if they'll be embarking on road trips and spring break trips! favorite candy bar, pens, markers, easy mac, popcorn, a couple of big plastic tumbler cups, sharpies!, etc. etc.
it's a lot of fun to put together and the kids usually dig it! i also went through and put a sticky note on every single item with a "college tip" it's a fun gift that you can totally personalize, and they'll probably actually use everything you get them!
have fun, and good luck with whatever you choose!
