The letter. Hands down. Including something to the effect that, in addition to all the material gifts you have received, you are especially grateful to have the lessons and examples about living a good and honorable life and that you will endeavor to live in a way that will make them proud. (Unless those sentiments will not sound like they are your own.)

Oh, and leave your room in order when you head out in the fall. When we got back from taking DS to school, it took me a few days before I was ready to go into his room (you’ll understand when you are a parent.) When I saw that his room was neat and the bed made, in spite of the ruckus that was getting him off to school, I was deeply touched (this is not a neat kid).
