My Big made just about everything for me... Some of the best things I've received or have seen others do are:
Cork Board - Edge the outside by hot gluing w/ appropriate ribbon, hot glue a small Panda and/or Rose in the top right corner, then paint pen AOII and your names on the board somewhere.
Fabric photo album/scrapbook and/or matching fabric daytimer - these were great I still have both... See this link for instructions (bottom of the thread).

Huge Insulated mug that has been paint penned with AOII, occasion if there is one, and your names. - I've been alum for about 5 years and still use this.
You would be amazed at what you can do with anything that is red or white, a couple of paint pens, and a hot glue gun (they cost about $5.00). I might also suggest stickers, wood letters, and other AOII type things that you can use for added decoration. I am co mpletely non-crafty but once you've seen a couple of ideas it's pretty easy.
Keep us updated
