Exam Cram Gift Basket

In college I was totally that responsible person who diligently studied for each class and was properly prepared for every test that came my way.  I was in bed at a decent hour every night and woke up early feeling ready to take on the day and conquer whatever exam the professor had prepared.  I certainly wasn't the person who was driving to Burger King at 2 in the morning for tacos with my roommate, or sneaking into an abandoned mansion that was rumored to have once hosted the Rolling Stones and swimming in the hot tub.  I never did that.  Especially if my mom is reading.

So while I definitely didn't have any need of this gift basket, other graduates who are getting ready to enter the world of late night cramming might find it helpful.


Ideas for items to put in this basket are:
  • Pens
  • Pencils
  • Highlighters
  • Index Cards
  • Post it Notes
  • Reference books
  • Mug, Thermos, or Waterbottle
  • Snacks
  • Headache Medicine
  • Notebook or Paper
  • And something fun for when they need to take a break

I left a small blank space on the tag so that you can write your own message to the graduate wishing them well or congratulating them on their accomplishments so far.  You can download the PDF here.

  6. Love this idea. My best friend lives in south carolina and I live in Utah. She was going to come out and visit for the summer but...... She got accepted into her program early. I was very upset that she could not make it out. I feel bad because I may have been kind of a brat about it. So I wanted to send her something letting her know that I still love her and am super glad she got accepted early. This my friend is the perfect thing. Thank you!

    1. Hi Gabrielle-
      How about a "get ready for summer" basket? You could throw in a pair of flip flops, some sunscreen, a magazine, and lip gloss. Tie it all up with a cute ribbon and you'd be set!

  9. This so such a great idea. My parents ordered me an Exam Kit for my finals my first and second semesters in college (the only two I spent not living at home). It was great to have and great to know that my family was thinking of me while I was studying for my finals.
