That pretty much says it. Our babysitter (and daughter of a neighbor) is heading off for her freshman year and we'd like to get her something. But I have no idea what college kids want/need these days (other than just cash, which I'd rather not do.)

Ideas?

Thanks!!

DD20 fave gift was a set of monogrammed towels from our neighbor family/kids she babysat for. I’d suggest white towels.

Honestly - money. That would be most appreciated.

We did a gift card to JCrew for our beloved babysitter when she went off to college. Every college girl can always use more clothes!

My DD is going far away for school and has asked for mementos of DC like posters and a DC flag. The towel idea also seems cute for a preppy girl.

Cute/fun stuff for a dorm room! I didn't spend any money on frivolous things going into college because I had budget for food for the semester and I LOVED having personal touches to my dorm room from the things my aunts gave me. Just silly little things like Christmas lights with paper lanterns on them and a pretty gauze curtain for the window really made it feel like my space. (Obviously, something that fits this girl's aesthetic which varies a lot!)

This. The Amazon textbook rentals are great, if she is concerned about that sort of thing, otherwise, Amazon sells pretty much everything and you can't beat the prime shipping.

Chargers with extra long cords.

I wouldn’t pick out a kids room decor or send white towels to college.

Also look up what is close to campus and do gift cards for those places - Starbucks, Dunkin, Chipotle instead of cash.
