If she’s an upper class girl then it will be a more refined environment than other parts of the country. For example, college girls in the south wear dresses to football games. Go to a game in Michigan and you’ll find sweatshirts and jeans.

Do kids write thank you letters anymore? I would just give $100 and be done with it.

A cute little toolbox packed with hammer, different screwdrivers, measuring tape, small level, and a variety of picture hangers.

To make it Southern, get it monogrammed.

My kid would have absolutely no use for this - nor would she really want monogrammed towels, a $100 picture frame (SERIOUSLY?!), or a Chloe mini purse (umm, not to mention, those are like $750!!!!), so I'd check with the girl before buying.

Money. She's going to need all she can get to fly back north.

Based on migration patterns, I’d say the opposite...

Cash. Or a gift card to her college's bookstore.

Totally depends on the kid, but my DD’s fave college-related gifts were tea-making stuff and a portable (vinyl) record-player.

Monogrammed note cards in the college colors.

Hmm. Think about an average 18 year old and if they'd prefer to receive note cards or cash.
