Chris in PA Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Hi all, I need Christmas gift ideas for my dd who will be heading to our local state university in January. She already has a laptop. She will also be commuting. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justasque Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) Jump drive. Hoodie w/ school logo. Backpack for toting school gear. Coat/hat/gloves/boots suitable for the school's climate. iPod. Nice lunchbox, large so she can stuff it with homemade goodies if she has to stay late. Edited November 25, 2011 by askPauline Duh, commuting.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I'd have thought someone doing my photocopying the best present ever. Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photo Ninja Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 How about a meal card for the school cafeteria? I realize she will be commuting, but she may be there during meal times. If she has a meal card then she can eat on campus with her friends. You don't need to buy a full meal plan. See if the school has a meal option where you purchase 15 or 20 meals that are usable anytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen in PA Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 How long is the commute? If she will be in the car a lot, maybe an Audible subscription. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Maybe something not tied to college? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane in NC Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Did you see this thread over on the high school board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in PA Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 Thanks for the great ideas! I like the idea of a meal plan. Never really thought of that. I also appreciate the link to the other thread. I am also looking at a North Face jacket. She doesn't like big bulky coats so I am hoping to find something lighter and still warm.
