And you even hit on yet ANOTHER gift idea (not a home run but at least a stocking stuffer): the 3-hole punch. It took me until I was well into my 50's before I got my very own, and now I use it all the time. If your child is the organized type who likes to keep documents in loose-leaf notebooks, the three-hole punch is a must.

Another idea also from the stationery store is a giant calendar ... one with really big spaces for each day, where deadlines, interview dates, etc. can be recorded. Yes, many students today rely on electronic calendars in phones, PDA's, etc., but, when it comes to college admissions, I still think there's nothing like a big ol' calendar where all concerned can see where the deadlines fall.
