Favors for Sorority Alum

[SoCalGirl]

Pens, small frames, tote bags, charms.

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but as an alum ten years out of school, I would not want a blanket or a frame--I need something I can use and won't take up space in my home...pens, key chain (with just the letters) etc. I don't need another tote bag because I have a million of them, that I don't use, and I would absolutely not want a glass or other similar item. I just goodwill'd all the favors I had from college because I had no idea what else to do with them.

Maybe a candy jar for my desk?

There's talk of doing glass paperweights with some very basic symbols etched into the class so they don't scream "sorority." They may also do beaded swarovksi (I know I just killed the spelling on that) bracelets in our colors. The idea is simple and discreet. I agree, alumnae far removed from college remember their college days fondly, but it doesn't look appropriate to be sporting letters all over your office or cubicle. These aren't my rules, just business society in general every place I have worked.

I appreciate all of these great ideas, everyone! We still haven't finalized favors and I would love your input and thoughts.

I made shadow boxes for our Ruby Members last year.

They are 4 x 6 I think. I don't think that's doable with 250 tho!

I like the paperweight.

You could also do your flower - a small pot of African Violets.

Maybe a coffee/tea mug with letters or coat of arms.

Can be used for many things besides drinking out of!

Years back, we gave a inexpensive jewelry box item with Coat of Arms on the top for dates at Founders Day dinner.

How about laviliers (SIC) for the Alums to wear on a chain?
