Please, whatever you do, do NOT give SAT prep books, "How to Get Into HYPMS" books, or anything else very obviously for college prep to a junior. The only time a gift card to Border's is acceptable is if it is for a kid who loves to read, and the gift card is only for buying books to read for fun (NOT "Secrets to Getting into HYPMS"). Likewise for accordion folders and calendars, unless you have another legitimate reason for those, please, please, please don't. It would kind of ruin Christmas, or at least it ruined Christmas for one of my friends who got a stack of SAT and AP prep books for Christmas one year. Luggage and high-speed internet are ok though, as long as the parent isn't like "here, have some luggage/high-speed internet to help with college admissions process!"
