Good gifts for Big who is going alum
Hey ladies,
My big sis who I absolutely adore is going alum at the end of next semester and I wanted some ideas on what to get here. I'm sure I'll be making her a basket of crafty stuff but I also wanted a "big" gift that was much nicer and bought. Something she can cherish forever.
I want it to remind her of the sorority... some girls do a really nice bag with letters on it but I want her to be able to wear/use whatever it is forever so it needs to be timeless. And I don't think a bag would work.
She's really special to me and she is also currently the president of our chapter so any ideas would be great.
THANKS

A girl in our chapter is transferring, and her big got her one of those shutterfly/kodak books full of pictures from her time in the house and had everyone sign it. It was really adorable, personal, and she definitely loved it.

Design a pillow with the letters on one side and your symbol or college logo on the other.

A necklace that's a plain silver or gold (or whatever metal is her preference) disk, with letters on one side in a shadowed type engraving and "to [insert her initials here] from [insert her initials here]" and the date on the other side. It doesn't scream "sorority!!"

I saw someone who got a very pretty hand painted "badge box" that was made for them at one of those ceramics places that you pick something, paint it and they bake/glaze it for you. I think something like that could be nice if you're artistic.

One of my favorite presents that I have received was a dagger necklace. It reminds me of my sorority. It isn't something that screams greek so I feel comfortable wearing everywhere.
Perhaps a dove necklace?

If she doesn't have one, a pin holder that can fit in her pocket. I have one (even though they quit making them), and have gone mumble, mumble years thanking heavens I have one! There are functions an alumna will attend after work, and won't feel like wearing her pin to work, but the small box works wonderfully. Mine's an oval, about 3" x 4", about an inch thick, is gold and has the crest on it. Needless to say, I love it!
