If December 25 of the junior year--about 11 months before ED/EA apps are due and about 12 months before RD apps are due--isn't an "appropriate" time for college-related gifts, then when IS it appropriate?

I think that parents have to decide for themselves if their child is someone who will welcome a college-related gift or resent it. Some kids will happily view such gifts as acknowledgment that the parents are allowing them to move on. Others may bristle, especially at SAT-prep and self-improvement books. (That's why I suggested gift cards earlier, not the books themselves.)

By the way, are we being un-PC by using the term "Christmas"?

You'll notice that I, the Original Poster, included "Holiday" in my thread title, although the initial question I received that launched this thread was specifically about Christmas. So Bah Humbug to you for even raising this issue, Mr. Berry
