Any ideas for a Valentines' gift to send to college student?

<p>I’m looking for an idea for a male, and I thought something edible would be good. And I’m always looking for a good value. My default, which is probably the best idea, would be some homemade goodies.</p>

<p>I started to check out chocolate covered strawberries at Shari’s Berries, but I didn’t purchase because they don’t let you see the shipping cost until after entering recipient and credit card info. Didn’t feel like going through the process.</p>

<p>Any other ideas?</p>

<p>My S would go nuts over a cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory:
[The</a> Cheesecake Factory - Cheesecakes](<a href=“http://shop.thecheesecakefactory.com/order/category/cheesecakes.html#identifier=1360174204377]The”>http://shop.thecheesecakefactory.com/order/category/cheesecakes.html#identifier=1360174204377)</p>

<p>Cheryl’s Cookies are super yummy - today is last day of 20% off and free shipping (according to the homepage - I didn’t go as far as to read any details)

<p>Also a favorite for my kids and good past luck with the ordering/shipping process:
Fairytale Brownies [Fairytale</a> Brownies, Gourmet Belgian Chocolate Brownies](<a href=“http://www.■■■■■■■■■■■■/]Fairytale”>http://www.■■■■■■■■■■■■/)</p>

<p>Sugardaddy’s - delicious! To save $$$ I’ve ordered the “Pocket Change” items:
[SUGARDADDY’S:</a> Best Brownies and Blondies, Best Gifts, Corporate Gifts, Birthday Gifts, Thank Yous, Favors](<a href=“http://www.sugardaddys.com/]SUGARDADDY’S:”>http://www.sugardaddys.com/)</p>

<p>Those are my top, past selections. :)</p>

<p>My son really liked the pears I sent him from Harry and David. EVERYTHING from H&D is great~</p>

<p>Whole Foods has some Republic of Tea tea bags that are valentines themed, like chocolate strawberry, and a few others.</p>

<p>Wow, these look good! Thanks</p>

<p>I always send my kids EthelM chocolates.</p>

<p>My son can personally vouch for the caramelitas from this online store: </p>

<p>Are you a member of Sam’s Club or Costco? They ship and could deliver some dorm room food.</p>

<p>Check to see if there are any small cupcake shops or bakeries in his college town that deliver. Last year I sent S2 ‘cake pops’ from a bakery that’s actually run by students at his university.</p>

<p>I’ll also vouch for the cookies from Cheryl’s mentioned in post #2. I’ve sent them to a couple of college kids and they all give them the thumbs up.</p>

<p>My daughter is getting the cookies and milk package from this site:</p>

<p>[College</a> Care Packages | $.99 Shipping on Valentine’s Day Packages! | Healthy Choices care packages | Gift baskets for college students with awesome food and beverages - From Mom](<a href=“from-mom.com - This website is for sale! - from mom Resources and Information.”>http://www.from-mom.com/)</p>

<p>Depending on where they are – gift cards for Chipotle, Starbucks, Whole Foods, etc - pretty much anyplace they like where they might not often treat themselves. My daughter loves getting CVS gift cards because she can spend it on ‘necessaries,’ cosmetics, lots of things-</p>

<p>and adding –
if he loves your homemade baking, you probably wouldn’t spend much more shipping your own delicious stuff overnight than you would paying for mailorder food (depending on what you had in mind)</p>

<p>Just sent girl scout cookies and a $5 DVD from Target. Also saw fun lights at Target useful for a dorm room.</p>

<p>Here’s an idea that is economical, clutter-free, and lazy… but probably much appreciated … a lovely card plus cash or a giftcard.</p>

<p>I ended up getting a Cheryl’s Cookies gift box of Valentine treats. The free shipping and discount drew me in; thanks for alerting me about this.</p>

<p>I noticed one or two of the other places required a signature for delivery, which wouldn’t work in this case. Oddly, Cheesecake Factory did not require a signature.</p>

<p>Gift cards and treats from local places are also good ideas to use in the future. There is a grocery/deli/produce place nearby that delivers, and I think they will make up food baskets for gifts.</p>

<p>Thanks again for all the ideas!</p>

<p>Cheryl’s Cookies - especially the frosted ones are truly delicious. Like a super good homemade, soft sugar cookie with luscious frosting! </p>

<p>I’m hungry for one RIGHT now!!! :)</p>

<p>You can also help out a good cause by ordering from Login | Misericordia.</p>

<p>Here are two from my state [The</a> Mackinac Fudge Shop](<a href=“http://www.mackinacfudgeshop.com/default.asp]The”>The Mackinac Fudge Shop) LOVE13 for free shipping over$30. Sent fudge and turtles to D and she said they were excellent . </p>

<p>These are a favorite in our family [Cherry</a> Republic - Life, Liberty, Beaches, and Pie - Northern Michigan’s Best Place for All Things Cherry](<a href=“http://www.cherryrepublic.com/]Cherry”>http://www.cherryrepublic.com/) It looks like its $7 to ship a present. Everything is boxed up really nice and I might have tried everything here lol and have liked everything. I usually send the cookies to my S, he likes the snickerdoodles but I love the dark chocolate boomchuncka’s.</p>

<p>Just ordered 3 of the Cheryl’s $14.99 specials:</p>
