[quote=Anonymous]I am a private college counselor and want to start giving gifts to all of my seniors after they decide on a school (either through an ED acceptance or a traditional decision period that involves other schools). I have wanted to do this for years but can't think of any good ideas.

First of all: what to send? It would be neat to send something that has to do with their college, or college in general- but these kids already have tons of sweatshirts and other apparel and I don't want to get them doubles.

Secondly: when to send it? Do I send something after they make their decision (i.e. now for ED kids and May 1 for the others) or would it be nice to get somethign as a surprise after they have been in school for a few weeks? I am sure I could get their school addresses from their parents.

I was thinking about maybe sending a dozen Georgetown Cupcakes to them at school as a little "taste of home," but by experience with their delivery has been so abysmal that I am wondering if that is not the best idea. Plus, I think maybe it would be better to send something while they are celebrating their decision....

Any ideas would be appreciated! I'm thinking in the $50-100 range per student but pretty flexible.[/quote]
