Give your high school student a heads up to college at graduation by giving them a gift full of practical items, they may just not think of. <\/p>\n<p>The great thing about making a tote yourself is you may spend as little or as much money as you would like.  Be creative.  The photographed tote I bought in the dollar section at Target, but you may find a more expensive tote that could also be used as a laundry bin, shower tote, etc.  Also, don&#8217;t forget to throw in their favorite snacks!  We don&#8217;t want them to miss out on even one college experience&#8230;.especially the glorified freshman fifteen.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Here is a list of various items to put in the tote! <\/strong> <em>If you think of any more, please leave a comment!  <\/em><br \/>\nEmpty picture frame<br \/>\nStationary<br \/>\nPhone book\/address book<br \/>\nGift cards<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=5275\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5275\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/college-graduation-kit-nff-baking-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"college-graduation-kit-nff-baking\" title=\"college-graduation-kit-nff-baking\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-5275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/college-graduation-kit-nff-baking-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/college-graduation-kit-nff-baking-65x65.jpg 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><Nail polish and pedicure kit\nPopcorn\niTunes gift card\nNetflix subscription\nFlip Flops (for those dorm showers!)\nLoofa\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=5276\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5276\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/college-graduation-kit-nff-laundry-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"college-graduation-kit-nff-laundry\" title=\"college-graduation-kit-nff-laundry\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-5276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/college-graduation-kit-nff-laundry-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/college-graduation-kit-nff-laundry-65x65.jpg 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>Toothbrush &#038; paste<br \/>\nRoll of quarters (for laundry!)<br \/>\nLaundry detergent<br \/>\nStain Stick<br \/>\nBasic recipe book<br \/>\nRecipe cards with their favorite family meals<br \/>\nBand-aids<br \/>\nRamen Noodles<br \/>\nTravel size toiletries<br \/>\nPay-as-you-go cell phone<br \/>\nSmall sewing kit<br \/>\nFebreeze<br \/>\nYankee Candle<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodwilltoo.com\/browse.cfm\/4,1212.html\">Chefmate Dorm Cooking Survival Kit <\/a><br \/>\nClothes Hamper<br \/>\nGum (always SO overpriced at the student center)<br \/>\nTylenol Cold &#038; Flu<br \/>\nToilet Paper<br \/>\nExtra sheets<br \/>\nEar plugs (oh, yes.
