My niece is graduating from high school and going away to college. I am looking to make her a practical gift basket.
Any ideas? Also, looking for ideas for the actual basket....
Answer
For the actual basket, id use a laundry or shower caddy. Itunes gift card, alarm clock, towels, bedding, toilletries... so many options.. or you could do a junk food basket.
