Roadrunner Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) I am told no food. Categorically no food. 😞 Apparently the cafeterias are restaurant grade. So now I am scratching my head what to take. I got a couple of Clairefontaine notebooks that he loves. A royal variety of teas. Any ideas?

Miss Tick Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 I found a set of funny erasers (that I can't seem to find online, but Zazzle has some), mechanical pencils, socks, reading light, shelf that clamps on to a raised bed, prayer flags (handy for test prep), string or stick on lights if the bed is lofted and it is dark underneath, this time of year it is easy to find a skeleton for the closet, a plant works for some people, merch from my favorite fake conspiracy Birds Aren't Real, gift card for streaming music or movie service, a book (so old school! Not that they have time to spend on pleasure reading, but it is an aspirational gift) This topic has been on my mind the last 2 months, but I don't have the food restriction, so it is a lot easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner Posted October 8, 2023 Author Share Posted October 8, 2023 Room is tiny and fridge is minimal. I need a good water filter that is the size of a 24 ounce cup. Amy thoughts? There is literally no space for a regular Brita filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) Well, while looking for vacuums, I found the most adorable fridge. It’s soooo cute! He doesn’t want it. I have been trying to change his mind. I really want to buy it but have no use for it otherwise. https://www.amazon.com/Frigidaire-EFMIS129-WHITE-Beverage-Cooler-White/dp/B08B43MJG3/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=LKDI7ISZ6IIV&keywords=micro+fridge&qid=1696871953&sprefix=micro+fridge%2Caps%2C203&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1 Edited October 9, 2023 by Roadrunner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you could gift him a bespoke Soda 6-Pack of the Month 😄 If he isn't interested it could make him popular with his neighbors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
