Are you currently a member of a college sorority? If so, you’re probably going to be on the hunt for some really fun and inexpensive gift ideas to spoil your little sister big time with once school rolls back around this fall! I’ve been in your shoes (currently having a hard time accepting the fact that it’s been 8 years since I first shopped for a little..#ancient) and I know how exciting and fun it can be! I also know it can be a tad bit overwhelming trying to find cute and clever gift ideas that won’t totally break the bank.
I did a little reminiscing about my college days and the things I included in our Big/Little gift baskets. I pledged to the Iota Kappa chapter of Chi Omega at Troy University in the fall of 2008. A few weeks into the school year, we had our big/little reveals. Over the span of 4 days, each big created a special basket filled with goodies for each day. It was such a special memory of mine receiving all of those amazing and thoughtful gifts, and I could not WAIT to turn around and do the same thing for my own little!
Many of the items listed here are DIY projects, but I’ve included several links to some cute and inexpensive items to fill your baskets with that your little is sure to love!
