Well, it is almost break and I need to start planning on what to get my future little. I have no idea where to begin. I have no idea who she even will be.....The sisters who are also receiving a little next semester have already started crafting and I just feel so overwhelmed and behind. Where do I even begin?! Ideas please!
There are lots of good ideas on pinterest. Get some ideas from your sisters who are already crafting. Since you don't know who the specific person would be, I would stick with generic gifts right now, like things in your sorority colors, mascot, letters, etc. I really like decorating wooden letters. DIYgreek.com has a pretty good selection of craft kits to help get you started. They also have very affordable wood greek letters.
You mention feeling overwhelmed and behind. Perhaps it would be better to wait until the crush of finals is behind you to begin crafting.
My big's first gift to me was a framed photo of the two of us together at Bid Day ribboning. There are plenty of colorfully styled frames available, even nice ones at Goodwill and Sal Army; that way you won't have to decorate it!
Gifts from my sisters I use most are a handmade, sorority-lettered pillow and a 40 ounce sorority-lettered plastic drink cup.
One of the gifts my big gave me was a decorated wooden pin box. They have a variety to choose from at craft stores like Michael's, and it's super handy to have a place to store my badge - I never lose it this way! And I made one for my little and it doesn't take that long to do.
If you want to go less-DIY, but a little more expensive, you could customize the adorable items from Poppin:
I love their softcover notebooks in particular - they look like Moleskine, but come in a few more colors (and are cheaper), but they have all kinds of adorable color-coordinated desk accessories and school supplies. They're having a 20% off sale right now.
