<p>We just brought our son “Axis of Evil” finger puppets from Amsterdam. They double as refrigerator magnets!</p>
<p>If you live near a Target store, the dollar aisle is perfect for care packages. I just sent D Halloween socks, black fishnet tights, packets of those chemical “glow sticks” (4 in each package!), a notepad featuring the guy from Office Space, a glow in the dark frisbee (so what if it’s supposed to be for your dog) and a little eyeball toy that makes noise. $1 each! Add a string of cheap orange lights to stuff inside the pumpkin (no candles in the dorm) for $4 and some candy corn and stuff it all in the flat rate box from the post office.</p>
<p>Bethievt- I just googled them and found “The Unemployed Philosophers Guild.” Click on their best sellers - they’re hysterical!! Shakespeare’s Insult mug, disappearing civil liberties mug, Revolutionary Finger Puppets!!</p>
<p>Thanks, woody…I went to their website, and just ordered a couple must-haves for D, including…the Great Scientists finger puppets…Marie Curie, Einstein, Newton, Darwin. </p>
<p>I loved the Freudian slippers, and the Freud watch that shows what he’s thinking in a thought bubble that changes each second: SEX, MOM, DAD, ID, EGO, etc. !!!</p>
<p>This may answer my question of what to give my son for his birthday–though an Edith Piaf CD is certainly in the running.</p>
