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

<p>i just used DancinDeers again, as they are local to Cambridge. Cheryl’s looks good, but in CA.</p>

22

<p>S1 doesn’t like the Cheryl cookies, but I ordered a “decadent chocolate cake” (small fudgelike cake) from Harry & David this morning. Sent this a couple of years ago and he loved it. </p>

<p>If you’re a AAA member there’s 25% off (I had an email but probably can get there via AAA’s site) and today is the last day for ‘regular’ shipping to make it by the 14th.</p>

23

<p>$7 shipping on the $15 special at Cheryl’s. OUCH!! It’s probably still less expensive then sending something yourself.</p>

24

<p>Mine would be kind of annoyed if I sent them a valentines gift.</p>

<p>Well, it won’t have a fancy box or tin, but with this special, you pay the $6.99 shipping and get six cookies for free from Cheryl’s:</p>

<p>You can send sampler boxes to multiple addresses – I’ve sent them to college students.</p>

<p>OP: </p>

<p>Next year check with your college’s student services. Last year I also sent him Cheryl’s cookie’s, which he appreciated. But this year I ordered something directly from the college to be delivered. Total =$12 Hopefully he’ll like that too!</p>

<p>No insult or such thing intended and this is only MHO… but it bothers me to send college kids - whose diet is often already ‘on the edge’ more sugar. D loves a local massage place we will send her a gift certificate, with possibly a small number of chocolate kisses attached. It’s healthy and much appreciated during midterms/finals.</p>

<p>A love letter from mommy, their favorite candy bar, and a little cash. Always in style.</p>

<p>Just sent my son who’s interviewing for summer internships homemade choc chip cookies, a Valentines scratch-off lottery ticket, and a red-striped designer tie.</p>

<p>Great idea, worrywart</p>

<p>Three friends and I are meeting this morning for a cookie/goodie exchange for our college kids. Two of them are back east so it will include hot chocolate and tea.</p>

<p>Dietz, </p>

<p>S1 is weirdly healthy and nags me about my soda habit when he is home. He likes chocolate but he’ll stretch out the tiny cake for weeks!</p>

<p>I used to send goodies often, but he told me to stop since they were going to waste. Now I only send stuff on the rare occasions like Valentine’s day.</p>

<p>I just sent this to my son from Wolferman’s [Country</a> Tea Breads Sampler | Bread Assortments | Wolfermans](<a href=“http://www.wolfermans.com/w/gifts-by-occasion/valentines-day-gifts/2365#Bakery:s=priceAsc:p=1]Country”>http://www.wolfermans.com/w/gifts-by-occasion/valentines-day-gifts/2365#Bakery:s=priceAsc:p=1)</p>

<p>Just sent Mrs. Fields cookies from Costco. Seemed like a pretty good price.</p>
