Ideas for pressie for lad going to uni in America

bagby

My daughter's boyfriend is going to university in america and would like to give him something to keep/memorable/unusual. Any ideas? He is well into football if thats of any use. She is making him a photo album. Any ideas welcome.

she could make a compilation album (CD) of favourite music. the music is a bit different there.

after he's been for a while she could send him a care package of some british sweets like trebor mints, or whatever he likes that you can't get in america - it's not something you can really keep though, eh.

A watch/clock that she could set to UK time so every time he looks at it he'll be remembered of home.

I would second the food parcel. I think the photo album is a great idea, pics of his fav places, fav food, stupid pics that will give him a giggle.

She must be gutted he's going to Uni so far away but what a lovely idea to give a going away gift.

it is a calendar that starts any month of the year and you could put your daughters name and her boyfriends name on it

they are a really nice present - have a look

A beer bong for all the parties he will have.

or give him a kit to make his own large funnel, some wide plastic tube and gaffer tape. He will be very popular.
