I know some people have been looking for different gift ideas for those recent graduates who are about to head off to college! And I have definitely been one of those! You see my baby cousin (well I guess he isn't actually my youngest cousin, but I do remember when he was born so he is still my baby!) just graduated from high school (hold on gotta find a tissue) and I have been postponing making his gift because then that would make the reality of him living for college even more REAL!
Of course I am going to make him something that is personalized, but I am also going to work on a supply box for him. Because I mean we are talking about a MALE here, don't get me wrong my Dev is mature, responsible and super smart, but men or boys are not use to having to go to the store and buy deodrant or shampoo!
Now back to the matter at hand, I have all of these coupons for products that my hubby, dad or brothers do not use. So I am going to use them to find CHEAP deals and fill Dev's box with "goodies". I'm thinking body wash, deodrant, shampoo, maybe some detergent or cleaning supplies, and maybe trash bags. These are necessities that he will use even in the dorm! And of course most college kids are not too picky.
For example: this week at Target Nivea Men's body wash is on sale for $3.04. I have a buy 2 get one free coupon, a Target coupon for $1.00 off Nivea body wash and several manufacture coupons for $2.00 off Nivea Men's body wash. In my first transaction I will get 3 bottles for $1.08 and in my second transaction one bottle for $0.04. So that will be $1.12 for 4 bottles of body wash!! Not too shabby if you ask me! Who knows I may even use some of those Buy One Get One Free toothbrush coupons and whatever else I run across!
Just a few items I'm lookin to put in the supply box:
body wash shampoo razor
deodrant detergent razor refills
cleaning supplies trash bags toilet paper
toothbrushes first aid kit paper towels
Febreze pain reliever batteries
Happy gift giving Peeps!!
