Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	I am counting on my friends to do my thinking for me... so I am looking for ideas of little, light-weight items to send my son during his first couple months of college. Any ideas please?

Maggie Member Registered: 02/19/03 Posts: 765 Loc: Oregon	Hi, We are getting ready to take our son over to college today. At first he didn't want us to go so we were ready to take pictures of the car and send him off. This morning he came in and told us we could come. He wants help unpacking his stuff. He and I are kind of joined at the hip so I have been trying to do little break aways this summer. He also wants his pickup so we will drive it and change cars. He is doing xcountry so they go a week early. We still have to meet him on Friday for their parents orientation. Dotsie, your reunion sounds wonderful! I love those and take pictures and write down some of the history that the elder relatives tell me. Must go, Maggie

Candice Johnson Member Registered: 10/09/02 Posts: 416 Loc: Alexandria, VA	Some cool things my mom would send me were pictures from the kids she babysat. She would also send me clippings form the local newspaper if it had to do with someone I went to school with or a tecaher or something. It was always nice to get something like that. Easy packable things would be microwave popcorn, cup a' soup, and those Ramen noodles. I went somewhere where we took a lot of public transportation, so my mom would also send me change for bus and metro fare.
