dont flirt to much or you will hear "dont tease unless your gonna please"

Phone card (if he doesn't have a cell), condoms, easy mac, cookies (buy the premade dough and cook'em up if you can't bake), magazine, shower flip flops (there is no telling what goes on in a college dorm shower), an old favorite DVD, pics of family pets (if applicable), clippings from the newspaper police blotter about kids he went to school with that got arrested.

Well thanks for all the suggestions. I encorporated quite a few into the box that I just packed. No condoms, though. And no cookies....
But I think I did okay. Bought some expensive toiletries like razor blades, shaving cream, as well as deoderant, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, etc. (I had sent him home with this stuff at Christmas, but you can always use it, I suppose.) Then I threw in some fun stuff like junk food, and a nerf basketball kit and a goofy spin-the-bottle game that I found in the clearance aisle. Finally, I put in a a newspaper clipping with his friends in it.....and, of course...the check.

Thanks for the help.

To be fair...if my mom sent me condoms, I'd be a bit freaked out. eeeeeeewww.

But today I found out that Royal Mail is off strike!! So my package will be here soon . I suspect it has a ton of Steelers stuff, but I'm hoping for other stuff too (PEANUT BUTTER!!!)

I'm a bit late to the party here, but I've got a few Florida-related suggestions:

Idea 1: The omnipresent, and generally high-quality, Florida supermarket chain is named Publix. They have gift cards.



Idea 2: It's almost spring training season, and for all of the parks that I know about you can order tickets online. Buy him four tickets to a Saturday day game at the nearest MLB spring training facility -- as long as he's not in Tampa at the Yankees' Legends Field, it won't be that expensive. He's not at USF or the U of Tampa, is he?



1. Knology Park - Blue Jays

2. Bright House Networks Field - Phillies

3. Progress Energy Park - Devil Rays

4. Legends Field - Yankees

5. McKechnie Field - Pirates

6. Ed Smith Stadium - Reds

7. Hammond Stadium - Twins

thats why i said JK. not that he would be freaked out, i ws worried about his mom. (my brother, elder, when he went to college a dem told my mom when she talked about a gift package suggested condoms. freaked my conservitive mom out a bit)
