Q. My cousin is in his 2nd semester at college, and I need to buy him a Christmas gift. I'm looking for gifts that a college guy would enjoy. It is a family gathering, so it must be appropriate, i.e. no alcohol/drugs/sex stuff. Also, must be under $30.
Edit: I'd prefer to not get him a gift card.

A. Maybe a couple of freeze-dried foods? You could just get fruit (strawberries, pomegranate, bananas, etc.) or a couple of meals. College kids are usually on the go and these are fantastic. Good luck and Merry Christmas!!
Is it bad etiquette to give a gift to someone who's Jewish at Christmas time?
Q. I am giving gifts to my college professors before the Christmas break. I am planning on giving mugs (with snowflakes painted on the outside) filled with Hershey kisses and flavored coffees or cocoas. Would it be rude or inappropriate to give my Jewish professor a gift as well, saying something like, "Happy Holidays"? Since I'm not Jewish, I have no clue on this type of thing!!!
A. Happy Hannukah, Happy Chanukah, Happy Holidays, are all appropriate. The first two refer to the 8-day Jewish celebration.
My best friend of 30 years, a teacher, is of the Jewish faith. Receiving a gift with "Happy Hannukah" on it makes it more special as the student took the time to remember his/her teacher is not Christian.
Your gift to your Jewish professor will coincide with the gifts you are planning to give to your Christian professors, as Chanukah in 2006 begins at sundown on December 15 with the first full day of this Jewish celebration on December 16.

Graduation gift for college graduate moving into first apartment?
Q. My little sister is graduating from college and getting ready to move into her first apartment. I'd like to make her a "I'm entering the real world" survival kit, or a "My first apartment" kit. I'd like to get her a bunch of little things I can compile into this kit, but I don't know what all I should include in it. What are items you need for your first apartment that you don't realize until you move in?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
