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.

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.

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!)

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.

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!

Ideas?

Thanks!!

Honestly - money. That would be most appreciated.
