present for girl going to college

[Anonymous]

Our neighbor -- who has been an excellent babysitter to my kids -- is going to college. I want to get her a going away present, but it has to be something I can easily buy tomorrow. The things I've thought of is a gift certificate to iTunes, a subscription to spotify, or a gift certificate for netflix. I don't want to give straight cash.

Which of these, if any, would you suggest? Or something else? I'm looking to spend around $50-75.

A Bed, Bath & Beyond or Target gift card would definitely come in handy for any last minute essentials that she will inevitably realize that she needs once she gets to school.

Just do Target. That way she can get anything, not just limited to dorm supplies. Most teens/young adults don't use iTunes.

+1 for Target

Netflix! Great way to bond with new friends, by watching OITNB or something.

Gift card to her college bookstore. She can use it for books, or they always sell college apparel and a million other things.

What college - there may be recent grads here who can give you an idea.

or Barnes and Noble, amazon gift cards. Both sell used college books.

Starbucks gift card would also work.

Yes, do amazon. I don't know a single kid who buys books from the college bookstore.

Amazon or Target, or maybe Starbucks if you know she likes it and if there is likely to be one in her college town.

I wouldn't do Netflix; I think most college students just use their parents accounts if they have one.

Giftcard to a pizza chain. Papa Johns has online cards.

Amazon or target or cash

Amazon, Target or maybe Container Store.

My college kids use our Netflix account. Neither of my kids has a B&N in their college town, or at least one they go to. Plus we pay for text books.
