10 Sweet & Sensible Valentine Gift Ideas for your beloved Reb
By February 14 of my daughter, Lanie’s, Senior Year of high school we were in full blown freak out mode over her decision to attend Ole Miss. I don’t mean we were panicking, I mean we were extremely excited. HYDR! and Hotty Toddy! were mysterious new lingo this Yankee found herself Googling in her free time when I wasn’t obsessing over dorm room decor or fretting over Sorority Rush. Valentine’s Day was the first “holiday” that I was able to use as an excuse to pull the trigger and buy a few college-related gifts for my girl. Being the sensible mama that I am, many of the gifts had duel purposes for her upcoming high school grad party and were functional for her dorm room too. I hope you find these suggestions helpful regardless of what school your precious little birdie is flying out of the nest to.
