Comments (12)I don't think it's necessarily bad that she isn't headed straight for college. It's difficult to know at 18 what you want to do with your life. I know many, many people with crippling student loan debt right now because they felt like they had to go to college, and they often picked majors that, in hindsight, weren't the best choices. I don't know if anyone has priced out colleges recently but they are extremely expensive, even state schools. I graduated 10 years ago and tuition costs have raised considerably since then. Tuition increases are outpacing pretty much anything else in the economy, and it's really becoming a problem when young adults graduate thinking they did this great thing only to have trouble finding even low paying jobs and soon facing $1,200 a month in student loan repayments. I routinely see people $60k-$80k in debt at 22 because they went to college like they were supposed to. Community college is usually a good deal, though. Granted, wanting to work part time forever without getting any additional education isn't ideal, and I think pointing out the limitations would be a good thing. But taking some time before college isn't always a bad idea....See MoreOne more gift challenge
Comments (15)These are all excellent ideas! I'm going to get my nails done this afternoon and will pick up some polishes, etc. dgw, the sloth thing is what they are stuck on and I looked at ordering some tiny felted sloths on etsy, but yowza they were expensive (which I get 'cause they are time consuming to make). I settled on the pins instead and they are really cute and well made. I love those little sea creatures! mtn, I am always stuck when I have to get gifts for boys - girls are waaaay easier - IMHO. becky - yes - keychains! They need those - always losing house keys. I might as well just leave the spare in the door lock. annie, great ideas - but what are pocket charms? rockypointdog - I love the idea of something they can do together. There is such a spread in their ages, they don't always do that, but now that the youngest is getting older (and slightly less annoying) they are starting to get along better and do more bonding. That would be really lovely b/f the oldest leaves. gsciencechick, yes, I could do more giftcards. I needed the reminder I could do smaller amounts to ice-cream places, Mcdonalds, etc. Thanks, all! Off to do some shopping....See MoreGift ideas for holiday renters
Comments (11)Maddie, I think I did see that, unless they have a new season. Fun show! My recollection is that gifts were usually wine and food, especially local. I would leave a lobster or blueberries except I decided to stick with things that don't spoil! I keep them in a cabinet and our maid puts them out. A custom puzzle is a really great idea, but I think more $$$ and also time. I ordered the Malin ones and they will arrive tomorrow. That way everything will be stocked and I don't have to worry. Daisy, actually i do still leave some taffy, just not the big fancy box. I have these French lamps in 2 guest rooms that I just love, but they have proven hard to style. I always buy new washcloths for guests and this is how I style the lamp in the twin-bedded room. The lamp in the Q guest room had seashells and washcloths and soaps and Kind bars....See More- 9 years ago
