Looking for gift ideas for my sibling! (Just to clarify, they’re non-binary, so I’ll refer to them as ‘sibling’—I’m talking about one person!) I’m heading off to college in the fall, which might seem far off, but I have a tendency to procrastinate, so I want to start planning now. My sibling and I are really close, and with only a two-year age difference, we’re both feeling the sadness of not being able to hang out as often. They seem particularly upset about it. I’d love to create, buy, or do something special for them, so I’m reaching out for suggestions. If anyone has gone through something similar or has any ideas, I’d really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

It’s so thoughtful of you to want to create something special for your sibling before you head off to college! Here are some ideas to help you stay connected and show your love:
Personalized Care Package: Put together a care package with their favorite snacks, self-care items, and maybe a little handwritten note or card. Include things that remind them of you or your time together.
Custom Playlist or Mixtape: Curate a playlist of songs that remind you of your sibling or that you both enjoy. You can even create a mixtape or a book with song lyrics and why each song is meaningful.
Photo Album or Scrapbook: Gather pictures from your favorite memories together and create a scrapbook or photo album. Leave some blank pages for them to add their own memories while you’re apart.
Friendship Bracelets: Make matching or complementary friendship bracelets that you can wear to remind each other of your bond.
Letters to Open: Write a series of letters for different occasions or emotions (like “open when you’re sad” or “open when you miss me”). This way, they have something to look forward to when they’re feeling down.
Subscription Box: Consider gifting them a subscription box that aligns with their interests, whether it’s books, art supplies, or something else they love.
Virtual Events Together: Plan a few virtual hangout nights, where you can watch movies, play games, or just catch up regularly. You can even set up a regular video call schedule.
DIY Experience Coupons: Create personalized coupons offering experiences you can do together, like a movie night, a day out, or a project. They can look forward to redeeming these when you visit home.
Comfort Item: Think about gifting them something comforting, like a cozy blanket, plush toy, or a scented candle that reminds them of you.
Shared Journal: Start a shared journal where you write entries back and forth. It can be a way to stay connected even when you’re apart.
No matter what you choose, the fact that you’re taking the time to think about them will mean so much. Good luck with your college journey, and cherish those moments with your sibling!
