<p>I would love some suggestions of gift ideas for a kid from the northeast headed to Texas A&M for engineering. </p>
<p>Any ideas appreciated!</p>
<p>Boy or girl?</p>
<p>It's for a young man.</p>
<p>I know it seems impersonal, but they really want money. Not even a gift card. They really appreciate the cash. A boy only needs so many Dopp kits, organizers, and alarm clocks. The money will come in handy once they've been assigned a roommate (if they live in a dorm) and they come to an agreement on what each will bring to the room, i.e. microwave, fridge, etc.</p>
<p>Cowboy boots!</p>
<p>Is he is OOS, give him airline "ONLINE-open" Voucher or airline VISA or master card. Don't buy paper voucher, it is a pain to use them and you have to pay many tag on fee. For some reason, online has this law some fees are waive which I found out for our AA purhcased.</p>
<p>Love the boots idea.....but they can be expensive!</p>
<p>You could check with his parents to see if he has a backpack-type computer bag for his laptop. Those are good to have.</p>
<p>My kids all have liked getting cash for graduations. They put that together to buy a nicer item. Another idea would be a restaurant gift card. They have all the usual chains in College Station, but to be sure, you could google restaurant College Station and probably find a list. They have Chili's, Sonic, Jason's Deli, and Olive Garden as examples.</p>
<p>You could order him a t-shirt or a hoodie from here:
