I've always had a hard time coming up with ideas as dd got older. I want to send her an "Easter Basket" but definitely don't want to overdo the candy. And of course I'm drawing a blank as to what to include. Any ideas??

all great ideas listed. I will always remember the easter basket mom sent me in college. I got a cute bunny light and a big cookie. THey didn't want to ice it b/c it would all fall off in shipping so she got bunny stickers and put them on w/ straight pins. But they all had googly eye so all I saw were these poor wiggly eyed bunnies w/ pins poked through them. LOL

Money is always nice for college kids, gift cards for food, nail polish, her fav. cookies, fun jewlery.

An iTunes gift card or similar, microwave popcorn, cute socks or t-shirt. Gift card for the local coffee or ice cream store (that was always my favorite thing to receive in college), cute post-it's or notepad, highlighters/pens. HTH!

I asked my student teacher (a college senior) what she'd like and she loved all the ideas, but added gas cards.

WOW! So many wonderful ideas!! I've printed all of your responses!! It's funny, I guess I've been buying over the years, I just couldn't think of anything new!

Thanks so much!

I love the gift card idea. You could even put them in bigger plastic easter eggs!

Gift cards are always nice, as is cash~how about a roll of quarters for doing laundry?
