As long as she applies herself and does well, she will continue to get these "perks"

Something like that is on my list of possibilities also. I really need to get to the store.


i give money
I can't do that with this niece. I have the reputation as being a good gift-giver, so I have to give her a gift, and the pressure is high

I was thinking $$ too, for a laptop, or a gift card to Best Buy - BUT... the school she is going to, has laptops at the school that they buy/rent

I figured it out!
(Part of it anyways!)

I just ordered a Gift Card to her college Bookstore to give to her!

Its something that she'll DEFINATLY need - either for books, college clothing, school supplies - ANYTHING!


I'm going to get her something else (that I have yet to figure out... ) along with the Gift Card - jeez, I wish I woulda thought of this earlier!

What was I thinking
That's a really grand idea, but his mom and dad can get that
I'd rather spoil him



Plus we gave him a laptop a few months back, because my hubby got a new one..

Well - I gave my cousin's girlfriend a Wal*Mart gift card. She loves the place, so why not let her pick out something she can use?
