Dorm gift ideas

[pomtzu]

My granddaughter will be moving into her college dorm on 9/5, and her birthday is next week, so she's getting dorm gifts from me.
She has a lot already - her bedding and her personal bath stuff, etc. So far I have gotten her a set of bath towels, a mesh pop-up clothes hamper, a new designer laptop carry bag for her new laptop that her Dad is giving her for her b'day, a drink bottle and various Crystal Light drink packets, and a scented candle that she wanted. She can't burn the candle, but she can take the lid off and get the scent.
They aren't allowed any cooking appliances in their dorm rooms because of a deadly fire at a nearby college some years ago, that was caused by an appliance in a dorm room. She can have a fridge (which her roommate is bring and Tia is bringing her T.V.), but no microwaves, coffee pots, heating plates or the like. There are microwaves available for student use in a central area.
Any other ideas for some small things that I can get?

Gift cards for local places to grab munchies and things like that.

The bookstore, at the college my youngest grandson will be attending, is run by Barnes & Noble. So is the one the oldest attends. If this is the case for your grand-daughter, a B&N gift card would be great.

At least my grandsons love getting them

Great idea. I just checked her univ website, and you can purchase gift cards to the bookstore on line.

A gift card from you for a monthly (or bi-monthly) delivery of snack foods? Beauty supplies (shampoo/conditioner, soaps, etc.).

I am going to college next month, too. I will accept anything from you.

A little gift of knowledge - often you can save a whole lot of money by getting "required" books from either the university library, or a nearby town or college library, especially the "literature" types. Also used copies from the bookstore, or even Amazon.com can save a ton of $$.

If you are a baker, a homemade gift card redeemable for X care packages of brownies, cookies, or whatever her favorite is, to be redeemed throughout the year is also fun. And a few postcards prestamped and addressed to you or her parents ... just for fun.
