Question for current collegiates/recent grads...

This is really an unnecessary item, but a portable clothes steamer is wonderful! I'm a current collegian and just got one (my roommate had one last year that I borrowed all the time). It will come in especially handy for clothes that are usually dry clean only - it's a great way to get the wrinkles out in between cleanings. They have them for $30-50 at Bed, Bath, & Beyond.

Oh yes I would have loved that - much easier than ironing.

What about writing her a rec and calling it a day?

Does she babysit for another family? Maybe you could go in together on a year's worth of Netflix?

What is a Quillow?

No ASA chapter at NC State.

I like the clothes steamer idea!

What is a Quillow?

Quilt + Pillow = Quillow
The pillow pocket is awesome for your feet!

I love the Netflix idea! Or, maybe the complete box set of her favorite tv show? (<---that might be kind of expensive, though)

Do you know if she uses Bath & Body Works products? I always LOVE getting some body wash, lotion, and bubble bath in my favorite BBW scent.

Or maybe go completely cliche and get her one of those "Everything you need to know about surviving freshman year" books.

I like this idea. My daughter just mentioned that this is something she really wants when she heads to college this fall.

When I graduated HS, one of my mom's friends gave a really nice set of bath towels (not a wrap, good high quality towels.) I loved them because they were plush and soft. You could have them embroidered with her initials for a special touch.
