  • Going away presents

    One of the girls from our church will be off on her way to university next week and we want to get something small to send her on her way. She's studying nursing so she'll pretty much be thrown straight in. She's also housesharing,but her fellow students might not actually be there because they've been told not to return yet so it might be an empty flat she's going to. Any ideas for small presents would be gratefully received.
    Also everything non-essential is closed here so that makes it more difficult to just go out and get something nice ...

    With that last statement in mind -- Perhaps gift certificates/cards would be useful? Find out what stores in the area where she's going offer things like PPE and scrubs (she'll be needing a lot of both!) and get her a card for there. The same for grocery stores or other sources of food. Also, online food delivery sources such as Amazon, etc.

        Visa & AmEx gift cards (or UK equivalent) that can be used almost anywhere.
        A six month supply of hand sanitizer/masks/gloves/you get the picture. They'll get used.
