<p>Son #3 has just moved to Ohio , 8 hours away , to start co-op for 7 months . Would like to send welcome gift . Also ,he turns 21 in March .We need gift ideas . His apartment is fully furnished . This is his first REAL job and we are so thrilled for him !!</p>
<p>How about some gift cards to places local to where he is living? Here is what we did for Christmas for DS…we used a wallet, and got 7 different gift cards to put in it. You could look for places…pizza, Panera (if there is one nearby), Starbucks (if he’s a coffee drinker), Kohls (you never know when you might want a new tie), Walmart or Target (they have food there too), a local grocery store…you get the idea,</p>
<p>BTW, our son loved it.</p>
<p>When I bought my house I had a little house warming party… even though I had fully furnished my house I got lots of little house related goodies… Some of the things I got were…</p>
<p>A digital weather station that tells the temperature inside and out
A set of 4 wine glasses
A giant pack of like 100 AA Batteries (this is the gift that just keeps on giving… it’s been two years and I’m still using that gift!)
Gift cards to Home Depot, Target and local restaurants
A cook book</p>
<p>Thumper,
I love that wallet/gift card idea!</p>
<p>The selection of gift cards makes it personal.
It may become my new ‘go to’ gift.</p>
<p>thumper,</p>
<p>Awesome gift idea. I’m stealing it.</p>
<p>BTW, how is your D doing in Africa?</p>
